Alta, I want to know you
And to feel your green
I want to show you what I have not seen
Before you had a name
Before the sailors came
I would fight to save you
I would give my life

Alta, now it is morning
And I think of you
I can remember the perfect view
Before you had a name
Before I feel shame
I would fight to save you
I would give my life

Before you had a name
Before the sailors came
I would fight to save you
I would give my life
Life, life, life
