Lyrics
Maddened by the rat race of the fast lane city strife They set their sights up northward to a brand new lease on life The virgin lands that beckoned them lay fresh and clean and still How could they refuse the call? Raising Hightown from the dust They towed a dozen trailers and cut the trees by hand They drank the cold clear water and tilled the barren land The hardships of that maiden year seemed worth the sweat and tears Now how could they refuse the call? Raising Hightown form the dust Hightown, may you never lie down Hightown, may your spirit thrive Now youth it has it's assets but let it not be said That youth possesses wisdom, if so we'd all be dead The winter storms our friends survived broke records far and wide But how could they refuse the call? Raising Hightown from the dust High on nature's wonder, it's glory all around The smoke of lapsing judgement planted in the ground And yet let us give credit for efforts duly made For how could they refuse the call? Raising Hightown from the dust Hightown, may you never lie down Hightown, may your spirit thrive
