It happened long ago
When I felt the need
For a life of my own
I dream of summer love
And moving high up northBut 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 pioneerI 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 lifeThat 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 rawTo 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 yearningTo be a part of the state
To be a part of the state
To be known as a great pioneerAnd 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 aloneI was dreaming here and lay there
Knowing that my time is here
I know I wanna stay thereTo be a part of the state
To be a part of the state
To be known as a great pioneer
