Our Nation (song)

Lyrics

Ten thousand lakes like mirrors in the sun
Beneath the northern sky where two rivers run
From the prairies rolling south to the iron range
There's something in this land that never seems to change

Minnesota, where the summers burn so bright
And winter wraps the world in blue and white
From the cities' gleaming towers to the pines
Minnesota, you'll always be mine

The loons are calling out across the bay
While snowflakes fall on a November day
Hockey on the pond when the ice runs deep
And the land lies quiet in its frozen sleep

Minnesota, where the summers burn so bright
And winter wraps the world in blue and white
From the cities' gleaming towers to the pines
Minnesota, you'll always be mine

Through the changing seasons, through the years
Through the laughter and the tears
There's a warmth that runs through every heart
Even when we're miles apart

Minnesota, where the summers burn so bright
And winter wraps the world in blue and white
From Superior's shores to the prairie lines
Minnesota, you'll always be mine
Oh Minnesota, you'll always be mine
