Lyrics:

 

Listen to our song,

Voices raised as one,

We carry notes along, now the harmony’s begun,

Lovely harmony with the baritones and basses,

Tenors singing higher,

Women’s voices light a fire.

 

Now we sing in unison,

Strength in numbers, one plus everyone,

Now counterpoint to add some flavor,

Each fair note to sing and savor,

Sing and savor, ah!

 

Listen to our song, voices raised to the sky,

Music fills our souls, and not a day goes by,

Not a day goes by when we do not sing a song with joy,

When we do not sing a song with joy.

 

Here’s to voices singing true, and

Here’s to songs both old and new,

Hoping that every song is pleasing to the ear,

We are very glad that you are here,

You are here to listen.

Listen to our song!
