Lyrics

All are architects of fate,

working in these walls of time;

some with massive deeds and great,

some with ornaments of rhyme.

For the structure that we raise

time is with materials filled;

our todays and yesterdays

are the blocks with which we build.

Build today, then, strong and sure,

with a firm and ample base;

and ascending and secure

shall tomorrow find its place.
