Madam Speaker, I have spent more than half my life as a member of the Resources Committee. In that time I have supported numerous wilderness designations. In fact, I cannot recall ever opposing a wilderness bill.

Wilderness designations should not be the result of a quid pro quo. They should rise or fall on their own merits.

Wilderness Flower
Wilderness flower
Wilderness flower
Beautiful in its innocent blue
In morning young hour
And rain falling shower
Your color is sweetness so true
Like pearls on spring earth
With glowing of light
Each pure and so worth
In arrangement and sight
Wilderness flower
Wearing its headdress so right
My love calls to you
(In the Icelandic wilderness, the first sign of spring are the little flowers you see everywhere – in their blossoming freedom)

There's been progress toward seeing that nature and culture are not opposing terms, and that wilderness is not the only kind of landscape for environmentalists to concern themselves with.

Extinct
Wilderness,
Exrtnct,
Quenched;
With waters in the wilderness and rivers in the deserts!
But i have chosen you to be my wife,
And like the sun moving around us.

Simply put, I believe we should not seek the lowest common denominator when it comes to wilderness and saddle a wilderness designation with exceptions, exclusions, and exemptions.

The reality is that we're all in the wilderness, and we have to survive on our own, and things constantly change and if we don't accept that, then we're just trying to fool ourselves. But the beauty of wilderness is that sometimes you can wake up in the morning and feel so sweet and whole.

A Voice In The Wilderness
My heart was so heavy with longing for you
My arms were so lonely, lonesome and blue
Alone in my sorrow, I heard a voice cry
A voice in the wilderness, a voice from the sky
Have faith in your darling, the voice seemed to say
Be true to her memory, shell come back one day
And though there was no-one, nobody to see
A voice in the wilderness brought comfort to me
We had a quarrel, I was unkind
Why did you leave me, love made me blind
Come back to me darling, I yearn for your touch
Have pity, come back now, I need you so much
Believe me and youll hear it, the voice from above
The voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love
Believe me and youll hear it, the voice from above
A voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love.

Little Black Eagle
Wilderness, weld, ends, sin, sins, seen, wild, wilder, wed, is, deer, dress, seeds, side;
And like a lion in the forest!
But, do not hide your love away from me.
Wilderness, see, sees, seer, send, seers, sends, sides, rein, in, seed, weeds, less;
And like a speckled bird of prey!
But do not hide your love away from me.
Wilderness, reeds, end, sine, weed, drew, welder, wine, sew, dine, reed, sews, wire!
And to find out why you are behaving that way to the people around;
For the pool of your love is like the black eagle on a hill far away! !

Not to know the good we have Till time has stolen the cherish'd gift away, Is cause of half the misery that we feel, And makes the world the wilderness it is.
More time on paperwork means less time spent with students or preparing lessons for students. It is as simple as that. The numerous reforms in the bill will go a long way to free our time of special educators.

Neon Wilderness
In a neon wilderness
In a neon wilderness
He was restless
He was restless
Escape loneliness
Escape loneliness
Find a new address
Find a new address
Stood before I sink
In a neon wilderness
Stood before I sink
Spill my last drink
In a neon wilderness
Yeah, he was restless
Spill my last drink
Say good-bye to my new friends
Yeah, he was restless
Escape from loneliness
Say good-bye to my new friends
I found a new address
Escape from loneliness
In the last room
I found a new address
I hear a boom
In the last room
Someone elses distress
I hear a boom
In a neon wilderness
Someone elses distress
Someone elses distress
In a neon wilderness
In a neon wilderness
Someone elses distress
And I hear a boom
In a neon wilderness
And I hear a boom
In a neon wilderness
He was restless
Escape loneliness
In a neon wilderness
For a new address
He was restless
Escape loneliness
In a neon wilderness
For a new address
He was restless
Escape loneliness
For a new address
In a neon wilderness
He was restless
Escape loneliness
For a new address

Kesewaa
Some people worship sheep and cattle,
But some people do eat them too;
And this world is like that.
From Rephidim to the wilderness os Sinai,
And by the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea;
But the truth of the story is well known.
Kesewaa, this day is a day of glad news;
So make a veil woven of blue on my love and,
Come to me with your beautiful love so sweet.

Man In The Wilderness
Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
Another year has passed me by
Still I look a myself and cry
What kind of man have I become?
All of the years Ive spent in search of myself
And Im still in the dark
cause I cant seem to find the light alone
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
Im a lonely soldier off to war
Sent away to die - never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Ten thousand people look my way
But they cant see the way that I feel
Nobody even cares to try
I spend my life and sell my soul on the road
And Im still in the dark
cause I cant seem to find the light alone
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
Im a lonely soldier lost at sea
Drifting with the tide
Never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
(Im alive)
Looking for love Im a man with emotion
(and my hearts on fire)
Im dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean
Im alive!

Double Agent
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Where would you rather be?
Anywhere but here
When will the time be right?
Anytime but now
On the edge of sleep,
I was driting for half the night
Anxious and restless,
Pressed down by the darkness
Bound up and wound up so tight
So many decisions, a million revisions
Caught between and light...
Wilderness of mirrors
World of polished steel
Gears and iron chains
Turn the grinding wheel
I run between the shadows
Some are phantoms, some are real
Where would you rather be?
Anywhere but here
When will the time be right?
Anytime but now
The doubt and the fear
I know would all disappear
Anywhere but here
On the edge of sleep,
I heard voices behind the door
The known and the nameless,
Familiar and faceless
My angels and my demons at war
Which one will lose --- depends on what I choose
Or maybe which voice I ignore...
Wilderness of mirrors
Streets of cold desire
My precious sense of honor
Just a shield of rusty wire
I hold against the chaos ---
And the cross of holy fire
Wilderness of mirrors
So easy to deceive
My precious sense of rightness
Is sometimes so naive
So that which I imagine
Is that which I believe
On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright
Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness
I knew which direction was right
The case had been tried by the jury inside
The choice between darkness and light...

Life's Wilderness
LIFES' WILDERNESS
Traveling
through
lifes'
wilderness.
Many
thorns
along
the
journey.
Leaving
behind
a veil
of tears.
Tangled
after
thoughts
of you.
Leaves
cover
the
pathway.
Causing
me to
lose
my way.

A Desolaltion
Now mind is clear
as a cloudless sky.
Time then to make a
home in wilderness.
What have I done but
wander with my eyes
in the trees? So I
will build: wife,
family, and seek
for neighbors.
Or I
perish of lonesomeness
or want of food or
lightning or the bear
(must tame the hart
and wear the bear).
And maybe make an image
of my wandering, a little
image—shrine by the
roadside to signify
to traveler that I live
here in the wilderness
awake and at home.

Executive Order 131061
Where is your zeal and, where is your love?
And like a horse in the wilderness of love;
But with your executive order 131061!
For you failed to look back last night.
The first fruits of my increase,
But you do preach in the name of Baal (the lord) ! !
And like a horse in the wilderness of love between yesterday and today;
But i need law and security to help me move on peacefully with my mind.

Anecdote of the Jar
I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.
It took dominion everywhere.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.
