A celebration of promises fulfilled
Of all the things we know
In admiration of the wisdom
That in giving love we show

Expectations of the children
As they learn and view
The revelation from the signs
That brought our people safely through
Determination that we search and find
Based on our true life design

Time is reaching toward the finding
Climbing towards the silver lining
Time is your deciding factor
To love and the goals you're after

No hesitations
About tomorrow
Just jubilation
Over sorrow

Time is reaching toward the finding
Climbing towards the silver lining
Time is your deciding factor
To love and the goals you're after

Revelations brought us through
Jubilations for me and you
Admirations that we give
An expectation of children as they view

Revelations brought us through
Jubilations for me and you
Celebration of promises
Admiration that we give

Revelations brought us through
Jubilations for me and you
Celebration of promises
Admiration that we give
