Southeast Uplift

[VERSE 1]
Imagine a place
Where you can thrive
And you can pursue your dreams
Where flowers bloom
And coffees brew year-round
Where everyone’s an artist
And everything is cool
With only a few exceptions
Where everyone’s a foodie
And everyone is moody
And full

[JINGLE 1]
We’re South of the Banfield, East of the
Willamette River
In Portland Oregon – We’re SouthEast Uplift

[CHORUS]
We’re South [South!]
East [East!]
UPLIFT

[REFRAIN]
We’re South of the Banfield Highway
East of the Willamette River
North of Johnson Creek
West of 82nd

[JINGLE 2]
We’re here to lift you up
We’re here to lift you up
In Portland Oregon
We’re Southeast Uplift

[VERSE 2]
I know of a place
Where you can be free
And you can love everybody
Where flower buds bloom
And beverages brew all day
Where everyone’s a musician
And everyone is cool
With only a few exceptions
Where you can be a foodie
And the weather is moody
Yet mild
