American Child

- - - - - - - - - Goin up to 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 promise once made will it shine will it fade Will we rise with the vision or fall Goin up to   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 las ka Goin up to las ka Goin up to las ka
