When I was a child and I lived in the city, I dreamed of Alaska so far away.
|
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers,
|
somehow I knew that I'd live there one day.
|
Well it took me some growing, and a fair bit of schooling,
|
and a little bit of trouble to get on the move.
|
And I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner, when I came to Alaska the land that I love.
|
Here's to Alaska, here's to the people, here's to the wild and here's to the free.
|
Here's to my life in a chosen country, here's to Alaska and me.
|
|
I was born in a cabin on little Mulchatna, raised in hard times but I had a good life.
|
From the first time I flew with my father a singing, I knew that I'd wind up a bush pilot's wife.
|
We sleep near the sound of a slow running river and wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain.
|
And we face every day like the first or the last one with nothing to lose and Heaven to gain.
|
Here's to Alaska, here's to the people, here's to the wild and here's to the free.
|
Here's to my life in a chosen country, here's to Alaska and me, oh, here's to Alaska and me.
