Album:

I Want To Live

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 prohesies 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 forests 
 I'll find peace there, to the wild country 
 Where I belong 
 To the wild country 
 Where I belong
