To the Wild Country Lyrics Artist: John Denver Album: Country Roads-Very Best Of John (1999)
There are times I fear I lose myself I dont know who I am I get caught up in the struggle and the strain With my back against a stonewall My finger in the dam Losin strength and goin down again
And I take a look around me My eyes cant find the sun Theres nothing wild as far as I can see Then my heart turns to Alaska And freedom on the run I can hear her spirit callin me
To the mountains, I can rest there To the rivers, I will be strong To the forest, Ill find peace there To the wild country, where I belong
Oh, I know some times I worry On worldly ways and means And I can see the future killing me On a misbegotten highway Of prophecies and dreams A road to nowhere and eternity
And I know its just changes Yes, and mankind marchin on I know we cant live in yesterday But compared to what were losin And what it means to me Id give my life and throw the rest away
To the mountains, I can rest there To the rivers, I will be strong To the forest, Ill find peace there To the wild country, where I belong To the wild country, where I belong
