about

The Northern Lights dancing in the night's sky, Eagles soaring over snow-capped mountain tops. It sounded like Heaven. When my brother returned home from the army, he brought a thousand pictures and a thousand more stories. He fell in love with that place. He always said he wanted to be buried there. Not long after he got back, we lost him in a car accident. 15 years later, I got to thinking. And I think it's time we took him and set him free where he belongs. Alaska is a story that hasn't happened, yet -- of my mother and I flying to Alaska to spread David's ashes.

lyrics

2 tickets to Fairbanks,

In the morning we’re boarding the airplane,

We kept pushing it off till one day,

Me and mama bought round trip but,

yours is a one way.

Cause while I want you here at home with me,

I know where you belong,

You should be roaming free.

We’ll release your soul,

so you can blow in the breeze,

And let the wind carry your o’er the trees,


Hook:

We’ll pack a bag and catch a mornin’ flight,

You’ll be dancing with the Northern Lights,

And now the mountaintops are yours to climb,

You’re like an Eagle, soarin’ in the night.


We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska,

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska,

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska!

Verse 2:

To love and have lost,

Is better than never lovin’ at all.

So I’ll settle for pictures hung on the wall,

And I’m still learning myself,

It’s time to, set you free from that urn on my shelf,

And if I only close my eyes,

I can see you float with the fireflies,

And watch you dance in the night’s sky,

You’ll spread your wings as you fly by.


Hook:

We’ll pack a bag and catch a mornin’ flight,

You’ll be dancing with the Northern Lights,

And now the mountaintops are yours to climb,

You’re like an Eagle, soarin’ in the night.


We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska,

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska,

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska,

Bridge:

Me and mama gonna take you home,

Gonna take you home.

Gonna set you free so you can roam.

Me and mama gonna take you home,

Gonna take you home.

Gonna set you free where you belong.

Hook:

We’ll pack a bag and catch a mornin’ flight,

You’ll be dancing with the Northern Lights,

And now the mountaintops are yours to climb,

You’re like an Eagle, soarin’ in the night.


We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska,

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska,

We’ll spread your ashes in Alaska.
