[Verse 1] Alta, I want to know you
And to feel your green
I want to show you what I have not seen
[Chorus 1] Before you had a name
Before the sailors came
I would fight to save you
I would give my life
[Verse 2] Alta, now it is morning
And I think of you
I can remember the perfect view
[Chorus 2] Before you had a name
Before I feel shame
I would fight to save you
I would give my life
[Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus 1] Before you had a name
Before the sailors came
I would fight to save you
I would give my life
[Outro] Life
Life
Life
