Goin up to A las ka

Up to the land of the Midnight Sun

Where the whale and the polar bear run oer the icy blue

sea

Goin up to las ka

Up to the north and the pioneer life

Where courage and strength still survive

And a man can be free

American Child does the call of the wild

Ever sing thru the mist of your dreams

Does it fly with the wind when you waken again

When itâs gone do you know what it means

Can you picture the time when a man had to find

His own way through an unbroken land

Be fore the machine changed the blue and the green

To something you canât under stand

American Child theres a burning inside you

That calls you away through the cold

To come back again to all that youâve been

Canât you see that itâs time to come home

To the flowers and trees and the rivers and the seas

And the earth whoâs the mother of all

A promise once made will it shine will it fade

Will we rise with the vision or fall

Goin up to A las ka

Up to the land of the Midnight Sun

Where the whale and the polar bear run oer the icy blue

sea

Goin up to las ka

Up to the north and the pioneer life

Where courage and strenght still survive

And a man can be free

Men can be free

Goin up to A las ka

Goin up to A las ka

Goin up to A las ka
