A Story Of Hope

A Story of Hope


The 2009 mill closure marked a painful turning point, but it also opened the door for Saint Helens to reimagine its future.


Saint Helens Oregon is transforming its riverfront into a gem for all to see.  


This musical adventure comes to an end with a singalong chorus:  


I’ve seen you down, 

I’ve seen your bright big smile, 

We’ll know each other again, 

And be around for a long long while. 

 

A Story of Hope

   

 

  Verse 1  

Logs once floated down the river wide, paper mill smoke on the morning tide, 

Ships from the docks to the ocean blue, they built this town and we’ll see it through. 

The One Eyed King saw the strangers come, Oh Henry tried but couldn’t get it done,  

The fires burned and Saint Helens Cried, the courthouse rocks, it’s a Symbol of pride. 


   Chorus

I’ve seen you down, 

I’ve seen your bright big smile, 

We’ll know each other again, 

And be around for a long long while. 


  Verse 2 

So many voices in the Paper and Rain, White Gold, again and again, 

Saint Helens was a Magic Volcano Town, the Mill Dream crashed, we knew it would come. 

A riverwalk where the cranes once stood, the Mighty Columbia sure looks good, 

Light a pumpkin and watch it glow, Saint Helens burns bright, it’s A Story of Hope. 


   Chorus

I’ve seen you down, 

I’ve seen your bright big smile, 

We’ll know each other again, 

And be around for a long long while. 


  Verse 3  

We hope you’ve enjoyed The Saint Helens Show, maybe learned something you didn’t know, 

We drummed and we sang and we played for you, but the stories are what rings true. . . 

The stories are what rings true. 


 Chorus

I’ve seen you down, 

I’ve seen your bright big smile, 

We’ll know each other again, 

And be around for a long long while.
