CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Wilderness Is
“Is it because wilderness makes pretty picture postcards?
Because it protects watersheds for downstream use by
agriculture, industry, and homes? Because it’s a good
place to clean the cobwebs out of our heads after a long
week in the auto factory or over the video display
terminal? Because it preserves resource-extraction
opportunities for future generations of humans? Because
some unknown plant living in the welds may hold a cure
for cancer?
No – the answer is, because wilderness is. Because it is
the real world, the flow of life, the process of
evolution, the repository of that three and a half
billion years of shared travel”
Dave Forman – from “Confessions of An Eco Warrior”
A humble and naïve dedication to the work of
Ryuchi Sakamoto & Shigeru Umebayasi
Inspired by the wise words of Dave Forman
