"My Wild Idaho Home"
[Verse 1]
Beneath the northern morning light
Where Pend Oreille's waters shine
Through mists that dance like silver veils
On forests dark with pine
While Coeur d'Alene lies dreaming
In its bed of emerald hills
Where ospreys wheel through golden dawn
And wild loons call at will
[Chorus]
In the heart of wild Idaho
Where mountain spirits dwell
Your untamed beauty holds us close
Under nature's spell
[Verse 2]
The Sawtooth Range stands guard above
Clear Redfish Lake below
Where alpenglow paints evening peaks
In shades of rose and snow
Down Salmon's fierce and ancient path
Through canyons deep and wide
Where legends of the river folk
Still echo with the tide
[Verse 3]
Across the moonscape's twisted forms
Where fire met earth and stone
Through Craters' fields of ebony
Where silence makes its home
Then Shoshone's waters take their leap
Through rainbow-painted spray
Like ribbons drawn through canyon walls
Where sun and water play
[Verse 4]
The Palouse hills flow endlessly
Like waves upon the land
Their golden grasses bend and sway
By summer breezes fanned
While Snake River winds far below
Through time-carved canyon walls
Where eagles ride the thermal winds
And evening shadow falls
[Chorus]
In the heart of wild Idaho
Where mountain spirits dwell
Your untamed beauty holds us close
With tales to tell
