May we all Keep Portland Weird by serving with acts of kindness.
Passing out bags on a parade route,

Sipping drinks made from the homeland,
Swapping stories to understand each other better.
May we all Keep Portland Weird with making memories together.
Breathing the same pine scented air,
Walking in the same neighborhoods,
Taking in the same sights and sounds.
May we all Keep Portland Weird by building relationships to last a lifetime.
