There is a Sleeping Beauty
On the Main street of town…
Stately she rests, her history profound…
The sleep has been long;
the doze has been deep,
much in disarray, The legacy a heap…
How to wake her, what went wrong?
The slumber continues,
the nap is too long
From Chambers to classes
to celebrations and such…
She is missing, oh so much
The coffers are empty; the well has run dry…
The snooze continues…
And we all ask why
So the people assembled, uniting as one…
Plans were made, ideas begun
How to wake the Sleeping Beauty,
Questions abound…the drowse seems endless…
The 'Jewel of our Town'
The people spoke both timid and bold…
Should we let her sleep, is she too old?
''Not as long as I'm alive''…
''we'll find the money dime by dime''
The course was set…the plans were made…
At last we have a small brigade
The interest is high the attachment is deep...
But how to end this long long sleep?
The task is arduous the labor abounds…
She's rare and unique among american towns
We honor the care takers from yester year
And thank them abundantly for holding her dear…
As the Sleeping Beauty awakens,
I think I hear a sound…
Society prevails, the people are crowned
So let's celebrate together the rest is now done,
Awakening a spirit…
There's work to be done
