Lyrics to a song written by teacher Joe Burton and dedicated to the student club entitled "This is Our Time." Lyrics follow.
This is Our Time
How can it be?
One thousand years
And still our hearts
Have room for no one
Through all the years
And all the cheers
This New Year’s Eve
Is just a moment
This is our time
This is our place
We stand for all
The worn and hungry.
A child that sleeps
In empty hallways
Can’t help but dream
Of better places
I promise this:
I pledge my life
To make a home
For all the homeless.
This is our time
This is our place
We stand for all
The worn and hungry.
This New Year’s Day
Brings a new morn
To those who dream
And dare to question.
