Great Pioneer Lyrics

(Graham Russell)

It happened long ago
When I felt the need
For a life of my own
I dreamt 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 spirt
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

CHORUS
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

And be a part of the state
And be a part of the state
And be known as a great pioneer
