Alma Mater

As our lives are slowly winding,
Bringing friends so true.
Of all the friends that we are finding,
Our dearest friend is you.

CHORUS:
Alma Mater, Alma Mater,
The name so sweet to hear.
We will always sing thy praises,
Always hold you dear.

From the walls so dearly cherished,
Goes our happy song.
May thy virtue never perish,
May thy praise live long.

High School life at best is passing,
Gliding swiftly by.
Let us pledge in word and deed,
Our love for Grayson High!
