Staring at the tv screen
the sunrise staring back at me
Waking up from a dream
Lying awake, here in Alberta
You smell the earth, you see the sky
The soil is wet but the air is dry
The sun is low but the fields high
Just another day, here in Alberta
Snow falls in the month of May
hits the ground and melts away
cursing quietly you say
Why do we stay, here in Alberta?
In their own time, seasons change
and everything is rearranged
There’s beauty born from the stains
Come alive, oh! Alberta
My first love and my first tears
Starry nights and stolen beers
It's where I'll spend my final years
Find me a place here in Alberta
Nowhere else but here in Alberta
