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
