The Mighty Filberts: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I wrote this song for my school children because I find the official Oregon State Song to be inappropriate for school children to sing. I wanted my students to learn a song that celebrated the beauty of our state.


I brought eight of my very best students to the recording studio to sing on the chorus.


Suzanne Chimenti

Oregon, You Are My Home


Mountains that beckon to heaven
Oceans with emerald foam.
*Rivers that roar on the green valley floor
Oregon, you are my home


You are my home,
You are my home
*Rivers that roar on the green valley floor
Oregon, you are my home


The pioneers came for your beauty
Your prairies, the Indians roamed
*There's desert sand to the east of your land
Oregon, you are my home


CHORUS


Eagles fly through your canyons
And soar over volcano domes
*Salmon swim free on their way to the sea
Oregon, you are my home


CHORUS


Oregon, you are my homeland
and no matter where else I roam
*My heart will be near your evergreen trees
Oregon, you are my home.


CHORUS
