The East has that Englishmen

And the rising sun

The West has the open plains

And how they were won

On Independence Day

For all it's worth

You can ring those southern belles

I'm going 

North



Up were the rushing rivers run and salmon leap

I could even get there in my sleep

Give me the ice and snow

Time to go... 

North



So run up a banner and we'll stand underneath

You gave me a starry flag

For one with a leaf

I'm on the borderline

I jump back and forth

There's nothing to stop me now

I'm heading... 

North



Up where the polar bears and moose and geese will play

And some of them address you en franÃÆ'§ais

Give me the ice and snow

Time to go... 

North



And so I must leave you all

Alas and alack

And though we are parting now

I'll always come back

So as the compass points

That's where I'll be

But if you could only see

The perfection of...



North

It's something I will always carry in my heart

A place when dreams begin and life can start

Who cares what people know?

Let me go... 

North
