From U P, for others

[Verse 1] We came by different pathways, Yet found our way as one, Beneath the Oblation, Beneath the morning sun. We learned to seek the truth, To ask, to dream, to grow, And carry what we learned To places we would go. [Pre-Chorus] For every road before us Could open into more— A chance to lift another, A hand to reach the shore. [Chorus] From U P, for others, We rise, we rise as one. From U P, for others, Our work is never done. With courage in our choices, With hope to light the way, From U P, for others, We bring our learning to life today. [Verse 2] We walked beneath the acacias, Where dreams were taking flight, Where questions opened windows And knowledge brought the light. The years have carried us To places far and wide, Yet what we learned at U P Still walks with us inside. [Pre-Chorus] And every life we touch Can open something new— A path for those who follow, A door we leave ajar. [Chorus] From U P, for others, We rise, we rise as one. From U P, for others, Our work is never done. With courage in our choices, With hope to light the way, From U P, for others, We bring our learning to life today. [Bridge — spacious, sincere] Maybe the measure of a life Is what remains with time— A lesson passed, a hand held close, A door held open wide. What opened doors for us, We’ll open wide again. What U P has placed within us We’ll pass from hand to hand. [Final Chorus — widest, freer] From U P, for others, We rise, we rise as one. From U P, for others, Our work is never done. With courage, hope, and purpose, Together we proclaim: From U P, for others, We carry on the flame. From U P, for others, Across the years and miles. United in excellence, In service, side by side. Wherever life may lead us, Whatever roads we cross, From U P, for others— We light the way for those who follow. [Outro — soft harmonies] From U P… For others… We carry the flame. From U P… For others… We light the way.
