The Springs & Things
Home Sweet Home
These Incline Stairs of Manitou
Some run while others walk
But waiting at the top for you
Are reasons just to gawk
Come and see what nature shrouds
The beauty almost sings
Hidden underneath those clouds
Is Colorado Springs
The mountain air is pretty thin
Just west, the eastern plains
Olympic jocks train here to win
While charting all their gains
There’s military all throughout
This city holds its own
Inside a mountain, safe and stout
Is NORAD, carved in stone
With Pikes Peak proudly standing there
An audience applauds
And there beneath that mountain’s care
The Garden of the Gods
I love to travel, love to roam
I’ve places still to see
The Springs however, I call home
And that’s alright with me
