They founded our town on solid ground
A paper company in Wisconsin
On the canadian shield, Our souls to be healed
By the life that to us was given
What becomes of a town when the houses
Were built out of paper
When the industry moves out in search
Of cheaper parts and labour
When the mine shuts down when the mill moves out
Will the people stay strong or falter
Buildings were made here by volunteers
Supplies came from marathon paper
The company bell rang from the hill
Signalling breakfast, bedtime, lunch, and dinner
Under the sidewalks made of lumber
Children searched for coins fallen from purses
When any of us got lost in the forest
The whole town made sure that we'd be found
And they still do
What becomes of a town when the houses
Were built out of paper
When the industry moves out in search
Of cheaper parts and labour
When the mine shuts down when the mill moves out
Will the people stay strong or falter
Peninsula came home
Home is what you make it
Peninsula came home
Home is what you make it
