SCARLET & GOLD
By Rick Vale
Good-bye, my friend, I leave you. Not a smile or a tear undone.
For looking away at the end of the day, we see the setting sun.
But now we turn together, our backs against the night, and forward we go,
in our hearts we know, tomorrow we'll see the light.
AND WE WILL BE TOGETHER, ONCE AGAIN BEFORE WE GROW OLD.
AND IN OUR EYES REFLECTS THE SUNRISE THE COLORS OF SCARLET & GOLD.
Good-bye, my friend, I love you, smile, not a tear, I go for now I see what
was given to me; the freedom to learn and to know.
YES, IN OUR EYES REFLECTS THE SUNRISE THE COLORS OF SCARLET & GOLD.
