Makomis Fire Tower (song)

Song: Makomis Fire Tower
Music & Lyrics: AI

[Verse1]
On its mountain, the old sentinel stood,
A steel-ribbed frame within the fragrant wood.
For decades, watching the vast Adirondack scene,
A silent guardian, watchful and serene.
But time, and changes in the way we see,
Dismantled this old watchman from its tree.
Its pieces stored, a forgotten, metal soul,
Lost to the years and time's relentless toll.
[Chorus]
The Village of Speculator, proud and kind,
Gave Makomis a new purpose to find.
Sacandaga Pathway, the tower near stands,
A historic anchor, touched by helping hands.
[Verse2]
Then, a village with a dream took hold,
To reassemble this story, brave and old.
No winding trail to greet the breathless climber,
Just a new home waiting for the storied timer.
Ascend the stairs, no rugged summit steep,
And watch the secrets that the waters keep.
From high above, Lake Pleasant's waters gleam,
The Sacandaga River, a wintry dream.
[Chorus]
The Village of Speculator, proud and kind,
Gave Makomis a new purpose to find.
Sacandaga Pathway, the tower near stands,
A historic anchor, touched by helping hands.
[Bridge]
So climb the rungs and see the vista wide,
History's story placed within a town so wide.
The Makomis tower, from peak to river bend,
A rescued legend, a community's friend.
The Village of Speculator, proud and kind,
Gave Makomis a new purpose to find.
Sacandaga Pathway the tower near stands,
A historic anchor, touched by helping hands.
