In our town we have pride
We don't form factions or divide
We chose to come together
And together we decide 

By ourselves we don't wait
For the government or state
To help us with our problems
We fix issues that we face

We are united
We are neighbors      
To get things done
We work as one

We rise together
Or not at all
We share a future
When we stand tall

In our town we've made changes
To get young people to stay
By giving them the helpful breaks
They can do things here their way

And our town's always growing 
While keeping heritage
It isn't small, it isn't big
It's perfect as it is

We are united
We are neighbors   
To get things done
We work as one

We rise together
Or not at all
We share a future
When we stand tall

Our town was made from what we do
Our town was built by me and you
Our town's alive 
Our town is true

Our town is black, our town is white
Our town is red, our town is blue
Our town's the color     
Of me and you

It wasn't drawn up from top-down 
We raised it up out of the ground
Our town has roots
Our towns foundations

Our town is living history 
Our town is straight simplicity
Our town is honest
Our town is free

Our town has people that belong
Our town will go on living long
Our town is stable
Our town is strong

This is our town
Look at our town
It is our town
We love our town
