I walked a thousand miles one night, oh, in a dream
I came upon a familiar figure stood by a stream
He called to me a warning, look of fear upon his face
I woke, afraid, but ventured further into this wild place
Through losing track of time and sense of reality
I'd seen so many wondrous things on this journey
And soon my world was covered in a frozen, wintry bed
The nights grew colder, I grew older in my head
My head
Alaska, great teacher
Strange dreams possess my mind
But your beauty captivates me
And awakens my soul to infinity
I've read the words of all the greatest writers of our times
They've left me now with nothing more than riddles and rhymes
My introspective quest has finally led me to see
That happiness is only real when shared with somebody
I am free, but lonely
Alaska, great teacher
Strange dreams possess my mind
But your beauty captivates me
And awakens my soul to infinity
The day, it came, when weakness tore through my every bone
With no-one there to save me, I faced the end alone
I thought of those I'd left behind and gently closed my eyes
My escape from that material world had made me so alive
I'm alive, alive
Alaska, great teacher
I give to you my life
My story, throughout history
Should remind the world that we
Are so much more than material things
We're infinity
