We write our own story,
We own our own glory,
So write the story you can't erase.
And create the memories that last forever and a day.
For we carry light within us that shines,
Brighter than the galaxies we see.
Walk the path of destiny hand and hand.
And fill up your glass of purpose with passion.
Just say a little prayer with will.
For where there is a will, there is a way.
