To the Wild Country Songtext

von John Denver

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "To the Wild Country" von John Denver handelt von dem Verlangen des Sängers nach Freiheit und Verbundenheit...

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 stone wall, my finger in the dam,
I'm losing strength and going down again.
When 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 forests, I'll find peace there. To the wild country, where I belong.

Oh, I know sometimes I worry on worldly ways and means, and I can see the future killing me.
On a misbegotten highway of prophesies and dreams, a road to nowhere and eternity.
And I know it's just changes 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 forests, I'll find peace there. To the wild country, where I belong.
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.
