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.

So good for the soul
Spring has come to Indiana
To make the wounded whole.
