Minnesota is our home

The reasons are so many
To love where we live
A land so enchanting
With so much to give

The lakes and the shorelines
The rivers and the streams
The hills and the valleys
Are more than just dreams

Built on farming and dairy
Paper pulp and iron ore too
With a rock-solid work ethic
Widely known to be true

With 87 counties
All brimming with Minnesota nice
And hot soup in a bowl warming your soul
Made with Minnesota wild rice

In the distance music can be heard
A familiar melancholy tune
Sung for us by our state bird
The Minnesota Common Loon

Yes....the reasons are so many
Why we love where we live
This place so enchanting
With so much to give

And no matter how far we travel
Or where we may roam
We will always come back to Minnesota
Because Minnesota is our home
