Wilderness Songtext
von Eric Bogle

Deep inside each one of us
There is a wilderness
A wild and secret place
Where our souls find release
Where we are children once again
Living in an unspoiled land
Of earth and trees and sky and peace

Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
It′s a part of us
The part that sets us free
Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
If it fades and dies then so do we


This is the age of dark machines
That rule our lives and rule our dreams
The tapestry of living green
Is fading fast to grey
Our future has been bought and sold
We've all been paid in fool′s gold
And there's a price we still must pay

Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
It's a part of us
The part that sets us free
Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
If it fades and dies then so do we

Small light in the endlessness
Of the cold dark universe
Haven in the emptiness
Bright star of the unknown
Slowly spins our planet Earth
In her blue-green loveliness
Our precious lonely fragile home


Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
It′s a part of us
The part that sets us free
Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
If it fades and dies then so do we

Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
It′s a part of us
The part that sets us free
Save the wilderness
Save the wilderness
If it fades and dies then so do we
