about

Written to honor the work of Buffalo Field Campaign in West Yellowstone, protecting the wild herd there for 20 years now!

lyrics

Wild is the Way
And wild we shall stay
Give to the living things
Receive from the source of all life
17 years protecting the buffalo
Original family of this land
This tune is dedicated to the BFC
For years of good work to keep the bison free
They taught me
Wild is the Way
And wild we shall stay
Give to the living things
Receive from the source of all life
Faith, hope and charity are the human duties
Humbly walking this land we see beauty
Creator gave us hands so we can do great things
So we can lift a heavy burden
Or lay a burden down
Down on the ground where
Wild is the Way
And wild we shall stay
Give to the living things
Receive from the source of all life
Wild is the Way
And wild we shall stay
Give to the living things
Receive from the source of all life
