The Cornerstone and the Contract: The Future Rising

[Chorus]
Oh, the cornerstone is rising, and the contract’s written clean,
The brightest glowing future that the hillside’s ever seen.
Holly to the justice, the builder to the wall,
They’re answering the challenge, they’re answering the call.
The legacy is humming, with the trucks and with the grain,
But a new era is dawning like the sunlight after rain.
From the acres of the Howell, to the contracts of the law,
It’s the most incredible vision that we’ve ever really saw.

[Verse 2]
While the aunts and uncles manage all the logistics on the road,
And the cousins tend the acres and the heavy harvest load,
Holly’s in the library, with the title deeds and deeds,
Planting all the logic for the city’s future needs.
The builder’s on the foundation, with the cement and the beam,
Working on the structure of a shared, ambitious dream.
They’re looking at the horizon, where the east meets with the west,
Determined that the work they do will always be the best.
The family businesses are running, like a river deep and wide,
But Holly and the builder have the future on their side.

[Bridge]
It’s a union of the structure and the spirit of the rule,
Not a moment in the wasting, not a moment in the school.
They’re building up the skyline, they’re clearing up the land,
With the power of the knowledge and the power of the hand.
The Howell-Howey network is a well-oiled, thriving train,
With the wisdom of the elders washing over like the rain.
Holly is the promise, the builder is the frame,
Adding all the brilliance to a legendary name.
They’re glowing in the distance, like a star that’s burning bright,
Leading all the family through the soft and Minnesota light.

[Verse 3]
The evening is a velvet, with the lake reflecting blue,
Watching all the dreams of the new kids coming true.
The thirtieth song is a beacon on the crest,
To the girl who studies justice, and the boy who’s building best.
The Howell is the witness, the Howey is the pride,
With the love of all the generations tucked safe and deep inside.
We’ve come a long way from the quiet, lonely hill,
With the law and the construction and the legacy’s steady thrill.
The horizon is our compass, the lake is our retreat,
And the story of the Howeys is finally complete.

[Outro]
The contract is the future, the building is the base,
Holly and the builder find their own, triumphant space.
The Howell is the wisdom, and the Howey is the grand,
Expanding all the borders of the Minnesota land.
The thirtieth part is written in the bright,
As they step into the future in the warm, descending light.

[Verse 1] On the hillside of the valley, where the pines begin to sway, Young Holly reads the statutes at the breaking of the day. Fifteen years of spirit, with a sharp and steady mind, She’s looking at the future that she’s destined now to find. The law is like a fortress, and she’s holding up the key, A real estate attorney in the making, wild and free. And walking by her side now, with a hammer and a plan, Is the boy who’s learning building, becoming quite the man. A general contractor, with the blueprint in his grip, They’re starting off the journey on a steady-sailing ship. [Chorus] Oh, the cornerstone is rising, and the contract’s written clean, The brightest glowing future that the hillside’s ever seen.
