Notre Dame, our Mother, Tender, strong and true. (chorus) Proudly in the heavens, Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame. Gleams the gold and blue, Wake up the echoes cheering her name. Glory's mantle cloaks thee, Send a volley cheer on high, Golden is thy fame, Shake down the thunder from the sky. And our hearts forever. What though the odds be great or small? Praise thee, Notre Dame. Old Notre Dame will win over all, And our hearts forever. While her loyal sons are marching Love thee, Notre Dame. Onward to victory.
