It's a hope for the future through experience of the past
We give our thanks for the present, our life's journey moving fast
We can touch tomorrow today to make some memories that will never fade away
Two hundred years from the very start of it
Two hundred years you can be a part of it
Two hundred years at the very heart of it
All of us together as one family, we're heading to our destiny
Together making history
Over time those school time memories seem like footprints in the sand
The waves of time do their damage as the water meets the land
We can trace those footsteps of old and grasp the future securely in our hands
Two hundred years from the very start of it
Two hundred years you can be a part of it
Two hundred years at the very heart of it
All of us together as one family, we're heading to our destiny
Together making history
There'll be no loss of direction in this celebration year
'cause we remain strong to the motto of 'Truth Without Fear'
As we leave this place and we journey forward uncertain of what lies before us
There's one truth that we must remember; it's God in whom we trust
Two hundred years from the very start of it
Two hundred years you can be a part of it
Two hundred years at the very heart of it
All of us together as one family, we're heading to our destiny
Together making history
