One of my hobbies is playing the guitar. Yes, I won't quit my day job. :-) Anyway, the lyrics describe our trek through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Looked down to where I was going
Up in the plane over the ground
There was a the river flowing
Caribou standing around

Loaded packs as we were talking
Mr. Bush what's it worth
Felt the weight as we were walking
Sinking in the melting earth

Then I knew
Drilling for oil
It was true
What it
Would do                 {chorus}

To this place
It'd be a waste
Such a disgrace (end only)
Of this place

Walked a stream up to the pass
Found a rock to take off the load
Sun shined but it didn't last
On the wind the rain clouds rode

Sought the bars and the ice
Cut the paths through the land
Grabbed the fruit and ate a slice
Checked the tracks in the sand

{chorus}

Heard the tattler tell his tale
Watched the sheep on the rocks
Saw the Golden Eagle sail
Met the bear and took a walk

Had the rain hit my face
Midnight sun in my eyes
Had it all in one day
Moon and sun in the sky

{chorus}
