lyrics

Alaska

Friends, gather 'round me
I want to tell you 'bout what's inside me
I had this daydream
Comin' on, comin' on

Jimmy Carter made the national arctic refuge
People laughed at him and wondered why
When Jimmy Carter made the national arctic refuge
He saved the heart of the world in a needle's eye

You've got wind no one is blown by
Views no eyes have seen
Rivers no one had drank from
Mountains no mind has dreamed

I went down to the River Canning
The water was sweet and cold
Crystal clear liquid touched my lips
And it's essence filled my soul
With the power of love, love

I wake up in the morning sunlight
It lights my face and the world around
I lay my head in the midnight sunlight
I lay my soul on untouched ground

Rhythm in the wind and the fire lights are glowing
One thousand antlers pass for a stranger's smile
The fiddle man cast his spell that misty morning
He's bidding you hang around for a while

I've never known a godly kingdom
I've never loved a god of stone
Revealed to me, complete contentedness
In the northern wind, I'm going home

I don't know if there's a place
Where you can find a godly race
But the river is deep and the river is wide
And there's sunlight waiting on the other side

Friends gather 'round
I want to tell you 'bout what's inside me
I had this daydream comin' on, comin' on
