Our Town
This town is our town, there’s something special here.
This town’s a good town, with dreams to last for years.
This town is our town; we can take it slow,
And keep on being beautiful as we grow.
We love deep, green forests, and fields where we can play.
Quiet haunts for nature, and farms with fields of hay.
Stonewalls built with sturdy hands still grace our rural roads.
And give us inspiration as we come and go.
This town is our town, there’s something special here.
This town’s a good town, with dreams to last for years.
This town is our town; we can take it slow,
And keep on being beautiful as we grow.
We’re proud of our fine schools, good water, and clean air.
Our children and elders are loved and nurtured here.
We can guard this treasure from the burdens that can fall.
Taxes soar when we allow suburban sprawl.
This town is our town, there’s something special here.
This town’s a good town, with dreams to last for years.
This town is our town; we can take it slow,
And keep on being beautiful as we grow.

Singer songwriter Kate O’Connor, a board member of the Belchertown Land Trust, Inc. has composed this song celebrating Belchertown. In the master plan survey, the overwhelming majority of citizens said they want to maintain our rural character and scenic beauty. The song is based on these sentiments. The Land Trust plans to make a recording of the song. We will be looking for help with recording the song, and will need musical talent, singers, percussionists, and possibly rappers. All residents are welcome to get involved. For more information, contact us.
