Ancestors
Verse 1
Ancestors that came before us
Forged the way ahead
They fought many battles
They could have turned way instead
Chrous
Strong in determination
To do better than before
They showed us their strength
And courage for sure
Bridge
It’s our turn now
To light the way
To make tomorrow brighter
Than it is today
Verse 2
We are the futures’ ancestors
What legacy will be leave behind
Will we be fondly remembered
As compassionate and kind
Chorus
Strong in determination
To do better than before
We’ll show them our strength
And courage for sure
