American Child Lyrics

	Lyrics：John Denver/Joe Henry Music：John Denver/Joe Henry
	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 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 trees and the rivers and the seas
	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
