Goin' up to Alaska, up to the land of the Midnight Sun 
 where the whale and 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 an unbroken land 
 Before the machine changed the blue and the green 
 to something you can't understand? 
 American Child there's a burning inside you 
 that calls you away 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 the 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 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
