The Oklahoma State Children's Song
Lyrics to Oklahoma State Childrens' Song, Oklahoma, My Native Land
Oklahoma, My Native Land
composed and written by Martha Kemm Barrett
As I travel the roads of America,
such wonderful sights I can see.
But nothing compares to the place I love;
The perfect home for you and for me.
Yes, Oklahoma, my native land.
I am proud to say your future's looking grand.
Yes, Oklahoma, such history.
Ev'ry day you give a gift just for me.
I see a Scissortail Flycatcher cut through the clean air
as mistletoe kisses the branches ev'rywhere.
Redbuds open ev'ry single spring.
I hear a Pow Wow beat the rhythm of the old ways
as oil wells pump back mem'ries of the boom days.
Only Oklahoma has these things.
Yes, Oklahoma, my native land.
I am proud to say your future's looking grand.
Yes, Oklahoma, such history.
Ev'ry day you give a gift just for me.
Perfect home for you.
The perfect home for me.
It's only Oklahoma for me.
The Oklahoma State Children's song was passed into law in 199
