1.) There are times I fear I loose myself, I don't know who I am,
I get caught up in the struggle and the strain.

With my back against a stone wall, my finger in the dam,
I'm losin' strength and goin' down again.

When I take a look around me, my eyes can't find the sun,
there's nothin 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

2.) Oh I know sometimes I worry on worldly ways and means,
And I can see the future killing me

On a misbegotten highway of prohesies and dreams,
a road to nowhere and eternaty.

And I know it's just changes, and mankind marchin' on
I know we can't live in yesterday
But compared to what we're losin' and what it means to me,
I'd give my life and throw the rest away.

Chorus:
To the mountains,
I can rest there,
to the rivers,

I will be strong,
To the forests,

I'll find peace there,
to the wild country where I belong.
I belong to the wild country,
where I belong
