Lyrics

There’s a land in my heart,
I will always remember
It’s beauty of life, beckons my soul
Like the geese who follow the calling of wonder
Guiding with love, taking me home

Oh South Dakota, to the land I belong
Brother to the wind, mighty and strong
Sweet smell of hay,
From fields full of green
God’s beauty I’ve seen

People of earth who live by the spirit
Drumbeats echo, the cycles of life
Farmers that toil and plant with their true grit
Stars that sparkle above in the night

Oh South Dakota, to the land I belong
Brother to the wind, mighty and strong
Great river flows,
Thru fields full of green
God’s beauty I’ve seen

Coyotes who howl a mournful night’s chorus
Carved rocks majestic look down on the land
Wildlife abundant in prairies before us
Canvas of beauty by God’s awesome hand

Oh South Dakota, to the land I belong
Brother to the wind, mighty and strong
Cattle abound,
In fields full of green
God’s beauty I’ve seen
