It happened long ago When I felt the need For a life of my own I dreampt of summer love And moving high up north But no one would go So I walked up the hill and lay there Imagining the day was near I know I want to stay there And be a great pioneer I made a promise then That I'd find a place Where my world won't end Give me a piece of land That will be my life That I will defend If I work really hard I will surely survive I know my virtue is strong No one could oppose a spirit so raw To be a part of the state To be known as a great pioneer I keep the fires burning to let you know I'm free My heart will always be yearning To be, a part of the state To be, a part of the state To be, known as a great pioneer And if it all should end And I hear the call From the great unknown I'll need to go my way Let me have my day Let me be alone I was dreaming here and lay there Knowing that my time is here I know I wanna stay there To be, a part of the state To be, a part of the state To be, known as a great pioneer
