Words

1. We lift our voice to our dear Cleveland;
We lift our voice in joyful song!
We laud her strength and beauty,
A beacon bright and strong.
She guides our hopes, our futures,
And may she shine forever more;
Let's lift our voice to our dear Cleveland;
Dear Cleveland, we adore!


2. We lift our hearts to our dear Cleveland;
We lift our hearts in joyful song!
Where honor, truth, and wisdom
Within her walls belong.
With learning sweet and friendship
Our lives have been blessed o'er and o'er;
Let's lift our hearts to our dear Cleveland;
Dear Cleveland, we adore!

3. We lift our hands to our dear Cleveland;
We lift our hands in joyful song!
With skillfulness and knowledge,
We'll seek to serve lifelong.
We'll strive to help another;
With love and kindness we will pour;
Let's lift our hands to our dear Cleveland;
Dear Cleveland, we adore!

Coda: Let's lift our hands to our dear Cleveland;
Dear Cleveland, we adore!
