The road unwinds before usAnd we must venture onTowards the bright tomorrowWhich faith and hope enthrone.

We shall not stay nor lingerWe shall not shrink nor failBut hand in hand togetherStrike out along the trail.

And on our backs the armourForged in our college daysAnd in our eyes the light of truthThis college sets ablaze.
