That moment is here

The time is now,

WE must pay for it with blood and tears

and the sweat from our brow,

but WE don’t complain WE just lift and WE plow,

it’s the price of WINNING

and WE shall leave no doubt.

I will give MY TEAM the best of me,

making sure that a strong man is standing next to me,

tradition says that greatness is OUR destiny,

but it takes hard work to rebuild a legacy.

WE never worry about tomorrow

WE just focus on today,

making progress is part of the process

for OUR better play.

OUR pursuit started at the roots & now we regroup

as one TEAM, one SCHOOL, a FAMILY

with one dream

to climb to the top and there to remain

by doing things THE BAMA WAY
