Utah! People working together
Utah! What a great place to be.
Blessed from Heaven above.
It's the land that we love.
This is the place!
Utah! With its mountains and
valleys.
Utah! With its canyons and
streams.
You can go anywhere.
But there's none that compare.
This is the place!
It was Brigham Young who led the
pioneers across the plains.
They suffered with the trials
they had to face.
With faith they kept on going
till they reached the Great Salt
Lake
Here they heard the
words..."THIS IS THE PLACE!"
Utah! With its focus on family,
Utah! Helps each child to
succeed.
People care how they live.
Each has so much to give.
This is the place!
Utah! Getting bigger and better.
Utah! Always leading the way.
New technology's here...
Growing faster each year.
This is the place!
There is beauty in the
snow-capped mountains, in the
lakes and streams.
There are valleys filled with
farms and orchards too.
The spirit of its people shows
in everything they do.
Utah is the place where dreams
come true.
Utah! With its pioneer spirit.
Utah! What a great legacy!
Blessed from Heaven above.
It's the land that we love.
This is the place
Utah! Utah! Utah!
THIS IS THE PLACE!
