1t Isn't Your To,Un--It's You

If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new
It's knock at yourself when you knock
your town.
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the dead
And if while you make your personal stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to see.
1t isn't your town-its you.
