Enter the Gates of
Charleston
Enter the gates in
wonderment
Expect a tremendous surprise
Learn how history was truly spent
Watch it unfold before your eyes
The first thing you
will observe
Is the fragrance of the air
As it permeates every nerve
You realize why you are there
Enter the gates of
antiquity
Preserved by caring hands
Giving up it's past with generosity
Thus, the Holy City still stands
Standing through
flood, earthquake and wars
through storms the gates held fast
Left so we can enjoy the shores
Creating memories that will surely last
Enter the gates with
expectation
Explore with an open mind
Reach for their wonders without hesitation
Treasure what they left behind
