Lyrics

By Jiho Kim, 2026

Verse + Chorus 1

From the Doug firs that crown our eastern hills,
To the green ferns that skirt the creeks below,
Warm-hearted people join with true goodwill
making a place where blessings overflow

We’ll join in song with honest, grateful hearts,
For all who live as members of this town.
It’s proof that the whole is greater than the parts:
Home of the genuine, this Battle Ground.

Verse + Chorus 2

Take a look back into our history books—
our beginning, wrought from a fiery forge.
Two neighboring peoples chose to overlook
reasons to quarrel, and so peace emerged.

And to this day, we aim to live in peace
with all our neighbors—left, right, up and down.
We’re shaping and building strong communities:
Home of the genuine, this Battle Ground.

Verse + Chorus 3

As we work hard to chase the bright unknown,
we will always need help along the way.
With all our people, we are not alone.
hoping tomorrow outshines yesterday.

When our own strength proves not to be enough,
We can rely on neighbors all around.
We’ll grind through to find the diamond in the rough:
Home of the genuine, this Battle Ground. 

Bridge

It’s the land of the free.
It’s the home of the brave.
Stand up! Stand up for Battle Ground!
Let all our voices resound!

Final Chorus

Oh, let’s all sing with honest, grateful hearts,
For all who live as members of this town.
It’s proof that the whole is greater than the parts:
home of the genuine, this Battle Ground.
Home of the genuine, this Battle Ground!
