She sits in the crevasse waiting for morning

Awaiting the sun, and her day to begin when she'll rise again

On the prairie wind

She’s in no hurry, she drinks in the dew

Watches the sage brush drink of it too, in the Badland air

What a pretty pair

She's Alberta Rose, she's strong and she’s free

A wild natural beauty, flower of the Prairie

She follows the sun to the great Rocky Mountains

There she can bathe in the pools & the fountains past foothills green All day to dream

She waltzes through ranch land, valleys, and farms

Flaunting her beauty, she's working her charm on the Ammolite

Her jewelled delight

She's Alberta Rose, she's strong and she's free

Wild natural beauty, flower of the Prairie

She brushes the Ice fields heading for Zama

Wades in the shore line of Lake Athabasca in the ancient pines

Under autumn skies

Northern wind blowing, she takes her rest

Satisfied knowing, she gave us her best, then she fades away

But she'll come again

She's Alberta Rose, she's strong and she’s free

Wild natural beauty, flower of the Prairie, Alberta Rose

Freely she gives us full knowing she’ll wither and die

Return to the earth there renewing the circle of life

Then she'll rise in the grain ripened harvest, gem stones and the oil

Appearing once more to give back to Alberta soil

Now she sits in the crevasse waiting for morning

Awaiting the sun, and her day to begin when she’ll rise again

On the prairie wind
