THE ARTS WILL GET IT DONE Lyrics by Jon Gailmor and the Staff of the Vermont Arts Council
Life would lack its luster Our world would lose its shine Kids’ imaginations Would shrivel over time
But here’s a grand solution That people everywhere Communicate and celebrate Let’s sing it with a flair
The Arts should have a seat right at the table More than just a garnish on your plate If you really want to stimulate your package The arts will get it done, it’s not too late If your town’s in trouble And jobs are heading south Schools and roads are crumbling You’re living hand to mouth
Revitalize your zip code Your town will come alive Become the main attraction Communities will thrive
The Arts should have a seat right at the table More than just a garnish on your plate If you really want to stimulate your package The arts will get it done, it’s not too late
Sculpt a new beginning Orchestrate in teams Compose a brilliant vision Paint uncommon dreams
Design a dance of daring Create your masterpiece With poetry and passion Your song will never cease
