“A Place Called Katywil”
Takin’ my family up to old Colrain
To a place called Katywil
Greeted by three dogs with tails a-waggin’
And a tall, handsome guy, named Bill
Had never really thought about the prospect
Of living in community
We left with a great sense of wonder
Thought of the possibilities
Livin’ off PV
Turn off the TV
Hope the Sox are on the radio
Garden work in the sunshine
Sure makes me feel fine
It’s a place where your soul can grow
Working together up at Katywil
Gives us a sense of community
Caring neighbors is my idea
Of Homeland Security
If you’re looking for sustainable living
These folks have a lot to show
Plenty of room to stretch your wings
And watch our children grow
Shadows from moonshine
Stars fill the skyline
Gaze into infinity
Meadows of butterflies
Flit into blue skies
Such an opportunity
Katywil is the place
For a life you don’t need to chase
Katywil is the place, where I can be me-e-e
Katywil is the place for us to be
