THESE ALBERTA SKIES
Lyrics by Clayton Smith

VERSE 1


Blue sky stretchin’ farther than you can see
Wind rolls slow through a sea of green
Dust on boots, sun on a steady hand
This is where it all began



VERSE 2


Mountains stand like they always have
Silent strength that you can’t outlast
From the rivers wide to the open plains
There’s a fire runnin’ through these veins



CHORUS


This is Alberta... strong and free
Where the wild still shapes who we’ll be
From the Rockies down to the golden fields
It’s a place where you can build

Stand your ground, hold the line
Through the storm, through the test of time
When the world feels lost, you’ll find your way
Under these Alberta skies



VERSE 3


Hands that worked through the cold and rain
Never chasing fortune or fame
Just a life you can call your own
And a legacy carved in stone



VERSE 4


Families raised on grit and grace
Faith runs deep in this open space
Through the highs and lows, we don’t break
We stand our ground, whatever it takes



CHORUS


This is Alberta... strong and free
Where the wild still shapes who we’ll be
From the Rockies down to the golden fields
It’s a place where you can build

Stand your ground, hold the line
Through the storm, through the test of time
When the world feels lost, you’ll find your way
Under these Alberta skies



BRIDGE


When the noise of the world comes closing in
And the truth gets lost in the spin
There’s a place where you can stand
In the quiet strength of this land



FINAL CHORUS


This is Alberta... strong and free
Where freedom lives in the hearts that still believe
Through the hard-earned miles and the battles fought
We stand taller with every mile we’ve walked



FINAL CHORUS CLIMAX


Stand your ground, hold the line
There’s a fire here you can’t confine
When the world needs hope, it’ll find its way
To these Alberta skies
