Erie

It's ok to love Erie. It's ok to love your community

It's ok to want togetherness and unity.

It is ok to want violence to cease, be reduced to the fiction you see on t.v.

It's ok to want peace not to be a distant memory.

It is only right to care for one another.

To have love for your neighbor, for one another.

It is a great thing to promote un* it* ty

wanting a safer, happier place for you* and* me!

You should be commended for being involved

Vote, go to those meetings, that's how community problems are solved.

It's not old fashion to want to keep our hometown closeness, but upward mobility

it's ok to want respect, employment, good schools for your city

It's positive thing to stick together, rid ourselves of descriptions, which gave our city a bad name.

Let's get rid of Mistake on the Lake , out with Dreary Erie,

Change the negative mind sets, create new theories

What do we in Erie want to be known for?

A small city with a lot of big things in store.
