The song “Alaska’s Flag,” with music composed by Elinor Dusenbury and words by Marie Drake, is the official song of the state. The words of the official song are as follows: Alaska’s Flag

Eight stars of gold on a field of blue –

Alaska’s flag. May it mean to you

The blue of the sea, the evening sky,

The mountain lakes, and the flow’rs nearby;

The gold of the early sourdough’s dreams,

The precious gold of the hills and streams;

The brilliant stars in the northern sky,

The “Bear” – the “Dipper” – and, shining high,

The great North Star with its steady light,

Over land and sea a beacon bright.

Alaska’s flag – to Alaskans dear,

The simple flag of a last frontier.
