Artist/Band: John Denver
Lyrics for Song: American Child
Lyrics for Album: Two Different Directions [2009]



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
