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 St. 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. 

So many voices in the Paper and Rain, 

White paper gold, again and again, 

St Helens became 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, 

St 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. 

We hope you’ve enjoyed The St. Helens Show, 

Maybe learned something you didn’t know, We drummed, narrated and played for you, But the stories are what rings true. 

The stories are what rings true.
