Pay attention now 
As I tell you of my sweet savory treasure 
Deep deep through the forest trees and wild animals 
Lives a place unaffected by the modern world changes
Living as if we solely exist on this land 


My name is Evelyn Lynn 
And I’ve lived in my simple town for 21 years 
Where we milk our own cows 
Breed our own horses, chickens, and even goats
And have mastered the craft of growing wheat and corn


A place with some wonderful people 
glamorous sights 
And books galore 
With music created from tree stumps and bamboo
And people getting together and starting their family 


Where we have beautiful houses built by hand 
With neat little secrets within each one 
Like the secret tunnels under Duncan’s house
Or my favorite place in my house 
The secret gold cabinet chambers hidden behind the walls
Where books stand tall among the walls


The people we’ve met and the people that’ve left 
Have each had wonderful stories to tell 
John grew up helping his family with horses and is now the towns master horse trainer. 
Neveah helped her Dad fix buggies and is now the town mechanic. 
Nélida became the town hero after stopping a bear attack 
Leaving her permanently stuck with a cane 


And now I’ll enter this new exciting part of town 
A part that until now I haven’t been through 
The circulation of courtship 
Getting courted and developing a relationship


It’s a whole new thing for me 
But with the amazing things my town has already 
I’m excited to see what future I can have.
