Goin’ up to alaska
Up to the land of the midnight sun
Where the whale and the polar bear run
O’er the icy blue sea

Goin’ up to alaska
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 through the mist of your dreams
Does it fly with the wind when you waken again
When it’s gone do you know what it means

Can you picture the time when a man had to find
His own way through the cold
To come back again to all that you’ve been
Can’t you see that it’s time to come home

To the flowers and seas and the rivers and the trees
And the earth who’s 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 alaska
Up to the land of the midnight sun
Where the whale and the polar bear run
O’er the icy blue sea

Goin’ up to alaska
Up to the north and the pioneer life
Where courage and strength still survive
And a man can be free

Men can be free
Goin’ up to alaska
Goin’ up to alaska
Goin’ up to alaska

I was ten, I was thin,
I was playing first base
With a secondhand glove
And dirt on my face
In nowhere, Virginia
Who’d ever figure that kid in the yard
Would go very far

It was 419 Lakewood ,
had no silverspoons
Just an old beat up upright
that played out of tune
Now I’m singin’ and living the life that I love
And when I count my blessings
I thank God I was an American child

An American child
‘Cause dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American child

Seven pounds, three ounces,
She’s got my nose
And she’s into my heart as deep as it goes
With a promise that’s more
Than just someone’s last name
Anyone’s equal, in late August came
An American child

An American child
‘Cause dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American child

My grandfather would have been eighty today
But in ’45 he fell down beside
An American child

An American child
Oh, an American child
‘Cause dreams can grow wild born inside
An American child
