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
