Verse 1 In 1899, with a vision in sight, A sandstone hall rose in the mountain light. With teacher’s dreams and hands to guide, They built a school with steadfast pride. Chorus Lumberjack roots, strong and true, Planted deep beneath skies so blue. Through trials and years, we hold the flame, N.A.U. rises, proud in name. Verse 2 In the heart of the Peaks, through drought and strife, They forged a path to transform life. Bartering goods, they kept dreams alive, Their spirit of learning began to thrive. Chorus Lumberjack roots, strong and true, Planted deep beneath skies so blue. Through trials and years, we hold the flame, N.A.U. rises, proud in name. Bridge Through winter’s chill and summer’s glow, The seeds of knowledge began to grow. A normal school for a brighter land, Built with grit and guiding hands. Chorus Lumberjack roots, strong and true, Planted deep beneath skies so blue. Through trials and years, we hold the flame, N.A.U. rises, proud in name. Outro So here’s to the start, to dreams so bold, A story begun in the High Country’s fold. With roots so deep, our spirit imparts, N.A.U. lives in all our hearts.
