CHO: Spring has come to Indiana

So good for the soul

Spring has come to Indiana

To make the wounded whole.

If you live in Muncie,

Fort Wayne or South Bend,

It's warm and green and sunny

So lighten up, my friend

If you live in Indianapolis,

Salem or Syracuse,

You go coatless, scarfless, capless,

And go barefoot if you choose.

If you live in Goshen,

Or in Montezuma,

Spring is full of emotion,

But with a sense of huma.

If you live in Valparaiso,

Vincennes, or Elkhart

It's time for reappraisal,

And make a brand new start

If you live in Gary,

Terra Haute, or Lafayette

Maybe you should marry

If you have not yet.

If you live in Hammond

Wabash or Bloomington,

Let your life be reexamined,

And not do as you have done.

If you live in Lake Station,

Salem or Shipshewana,

Spring is a revelation

To flora and to fauna.

If you live in Newcastle,

Columbus, or Kokomo,

Grab that graduation tassel,

And say thank you as you go.

If you live in Arcadia,

Aurora or Avon

Thank the Lord who made ya

For the ground that you stand on.

And tomorrow evening

Thanks be to God,

Some of us are leaving

To spend a month abroad.
