I’m here today to give you a pitch,
A burning desire,
It’s more than an itch,
Underscoring the fact
that this valley’s so rich
Painting a picture
imagine this course
Make a reality
Our place mighty force.
The nature, the earth, the sea, and the sloughs
The farms, and the people,
so good and so true
And our horn to toot
Discover a route
For us to travel and others to visit
With little interference
Straightforward, explicit
A vision of flourishing,
Sharing our food,
Traveling, modern,
Could this be the glue?
Our Depot on Walker
The seed of this thought
Where produce that’s local
Can be sold and be bought.
The depot’s historic,
Showcase our town,
A beacon, a treasure,
The crown of our ground.
A colorful market of farms and their flair,
Open and free our glorious fresh air
Filled with people from worldwide
Electric trains that gently arrive
Quiet and frequent,
Rather than drive,
Come into town and share in our bounty,
Supporting our farms, our people, our county.
A pathway to our spectacular downtown
And they come and go –
And we get around.
