There are times I fear I lose myself I don't 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 Losing strength and going down again And I take a look around me My eyes can't find the sun There's nothing wild as far as I can see Then my heart turns to Alaska And freedom on the run I can hear her spirit calling me To the mountains I can rest there To the rivers I will be strong To the forest I'll 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 it's just changes Yes and mankind marching on I know we can't live in yesterday But compared to what we're losing And what it means to me I'd 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 I'll find peace there To the wild country where I belong To the wild country where I belong
