PURPLE & GOLD

THE HALLS WE RAN,
ALIVE AND WILD,
OUR YEAR H'AS COME,
OUR EMOTIONS MILD
UNITED AGAIN,
FOR ONE LAST CAUSE.
FOUR YEARS HAVE PASSED,
THERE WAS NO PAUSE.
WE CAME HOME AGAIN
SHOWED OFF OUR PRIDE,
TOOK HOME THE GLORY,
THE SET OUT FOR THE RIDE,
INTO 2004,
WE'RE OFF WITH A BANG.
SETTING TRENDS FOR ALL,
ALL WHO THINK THEY CAN HANG.
YET CLOSER WE MARCH
TO THE END OF OUR WALK.
FACES SOON FADE,
LIKE THE FADING OF CHALK.
SO WE RENT OUT OUR SUITS,
GIRLS BUY THEIR DRESS.
STEP INTO THE ROOM,
READY TO IMPRESS,
THEN IMPRINT THE MOMENTS,
DEEP WITHIN OUR MINDS.
THINKING YEARS FROM NOW
WHERE ARE THOSE FRIENDS OF MINE?
SHORTLY AFTER THAT NIGHT,
THE ONE REMEMBERED MOST,
IS THE DAY WE STAND TALL.
THE DAY THAT E HOST,
FOR OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS.
WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES
KNOWING MONTHS FROM NOW
WE'LL BE SAYING OUR GOOD BYES.
SO IN OUR CAPS AND GOWNS,
OUR HEARTS RUN FAST.
WE WALK THE STAGE,
WANTING THE MOMENT TO LAST.
WE'VE REACHED A PEAK,
IT'S OUR TIME TO BE BOLD,
BUT NEVER WILL WE FORGET,
THE BELOVED PURPLE & GOLD!
