The Alaska State Song

Alaska's Flag
words by Marie Drake, music by Elinor Dusenbury

   Eight stars of gold on a field of blue -
   Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
   The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
   The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
   The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
   The precious gold of the hills and streams;
   The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
   The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
   The great North Star with its steady light,
   Over land and sea a beacon bright.
   Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
   The simple flag of a last frontier.

Second verse written by Carol Beery Davis

   A Native lad chose the Dipper's stars
   For Alaska's flag that there be no bars 
   Among our culture. Let it be known 
   Through years the Native's past has grown 
   To share life's treasures, hand in hand, 
   to keep Alaska our Great-Land; 
   We love the northern midnight sky, 
   the mountains, lakes and streams nearby. 
   The great North Star with its steady light 
   will guide all cultures, clear and bright, 
   with nature's flag to Alaskan's dear, 
   the simple flag of the last frontier.
