May we pause and recall sweet memories I hose days we once called endless . Of the days we’ve spent at Brown 1 ligh. How we’d love to relive them all. Yes, only twelve short years ago But there aie many steps on the ladder of life, Our school days had their start, And our climb has just begun, But now as the crossroads of life draw near So we have no time to falter And friends for so long must part, Until our job is done. Some will go up the highway to fame, Now, our Father, as we leave behind While others may onward roam; 1 hese days we've learned to love, But no matter where our pathways lead. Guide and help us in all that we do Brown I ligh will always be home. To keep our eyes on I bee above.
