A rose grows wild in the country.
A tree grows tall as the sky.
The wind blows wild in the country,
And part of the wild, wild country am I.


Wild, wild like the deer and the dove.
Wild and free is this land that I love.


A dream grows wild in the country.
A love grows tall as the sky.
A heart beats wild in the country,
And here with a dream in my heart,
Part of the wild, wild country am I.
Part of the wild, wild country am I.
