Old Photographs
1960s, a handful of names
Nobody thought they'd build much of anything
Now there's a hallway just to hold their story
Young fields, old hearts, quiet kind of
glory It's our own little museum,
small and true Not a plaque for one, a plaque
for all of you
Founders still walkin' through their own front door
Our own little museum, and there's room for more
A rusted meter behind the glass in front
First day badge from the ones who broke the ground
Nothing fancy, no velvet rope inside inside just enough
to remember it was hard and right it's our own
little museum small and true
Not a plaque for one, a plaque for all of you
Founders still walking through their own front door
Our own little museum and there's room for more
A young tech walks through on her lunch break
Sees a photo and swears she knows that face
Same tired eyes,
same proud little grin
Sixty years later still letting her in
It's our own little museum,
small and true Not a plaque for one, a plaque
for all of you
Founders still walking through their own front door
Our own little museum,
and there's room for more
Our own little museum
