Lyrics
2300 Jackson Street 2300 Jackson Street 2300 Jackson Street

Memories of growing up And working hard Our childhood passed us by

Mom and Dad They sacrificed their wants and need So we could reach the light Although the times were tough for us We knew they both worked hard They gave us all their hearts could give And still made room for love We're all united And standing strong And still today We're one big family

2300 Jackson Street Always home 2300 Jackson Street Always home

In harmony, together we'll join Hands and sign Our love across the land

Remember we always said, If we got a change We'll plan our work And work our master plan

Although the road of life is tough It has its ups and downs We are the one and all We can conquer all We are united And standing strong And still today we're one big family

2300 Jackson Street Always home 2300 Jackson Street Always home

Mother and Father They raised us to be The best that we could be Now the stage is set The curtain's up The crowd applauds your name

Then give a smile Let's do your best No matter how far we go

2300 Jackson Street Always home 2300 Jackson Street Always home
