Alaska, Alaska - Home of the Free...


Alaska, Alaska – home of the midnight sun.
I have come to learn and have some fun.
Alaska, Alaska – there’s so much land;
Things are so beautiful, life is so grand.
I’ve climbed on glaciers, I’ve seen some bears,
I’ve left my worries, I have no cares,
Except for the cares of life and health;
Alaska, Alaska – has its own special wealth.
The wealth of the eagle, the moon and the sky;
You have to see it with your own gazing eye.
Alaska, Alaska – home of the free;
There’s so much here, so much to see.
The Dall sheep, the caribou, the griz, the moose;
Here in Alaska, a man can cut loose.
Cut loose from the impurities of the modern city;
Here in Alaska, things are so pretty.
Alaska, Alaska – I love it already;
Insecurities are gone, I feel so steady.
This is a place everyone should go
To learn the things everyone should know.
Things like wildness, beauty and strength,
Where summer sun is forever – 24 hours in length.
Alaska, Alaska – I think I’ll call home
Where I’ll have a life to roam and roam.
Roam through the mountains down to the sea,
Alaska, Alaska – home of the Free!
