Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the valley, where the rivers meet
A village stood, proud and complete
Shawnee people, Chinoudaista they'd say
Living in harmony, day by day
[Chorus]
But time moves on, as it always will
Leaving behind echoes of the hill
Memories fade, but we won't forget
The spirit of Upper Shawneetown yet
[Verse 2]
George Washington, he came to see
The abundance of life by the Kanawha, free
Buffalo roaming, wild game abound
And grassy ponds with swans and ducks renowned
[Bridge]
Point Pleasant it became
We must remember another name...
[Chorus]
But time moves on, as it always will
Leaving behind echoes of the hill
Memories fade, but we won't forget
The spirit of Upper Shawneetown yet
[Verse 3]
A chief stood strong, his spirit aflame
With a vision to protect, to preserve their name
Cornstalk, they called him, brave and fierce
Defender of his people, their pain he could hear
[Verse 4]
Settlement grew in the valley so fair
Cornstalk's boldness dwindled ne'er
He rallied the tribes, united as one
To halt the invasion, to fight 'til it's done
[Bridge]
Point Pleasant it became
We must remember another name...
[Chorus]
But time moves on, as it always will
Leaving behind echoes of the hill
Memories fade, but we won't forget
The spirit of Upper Shawneetown yet
[Bridge 2]
But before his death he spoke a curse
His words were bold and terse...
[Verse 5]
"I was the border man’s friend
Many times I would save and lend
I came to the fort and you murdered me.
For this, the curse of the Great Spirit rest upon this land once free.
[Verse 6]
May it be blighted by nature.
May it even be blighted in its hopes.
May the strength of the peoples be paralyzed
by the stain of our blood.”
[Chorus]
But time moves on, as it always will
Leaving behind echoes of the hill
Memories fade, but we won't forget
The spirit of Upper Shawneetown yet
[End Bridge]
Point Pleasant it became
Would they remember another name?
Would they remember Shawneetown's Spirit,
Or the Name of Jesus, would they hear it?
