Yonder are the bricks of red

Yonder are  the bricks of red

Girding our dreams and hopes

Alma Mater so dear and old

Whose motto we do uphold

Light!! Light!! Light to lighten!!

Keep it glowing till the end of the world

Light!! Light!! Light to lighten!!

Keep the light of life aglow.

Cherished and taught by her

We are sent out into the world

To break the fetters of pain

And to lift up the weak ad slain

Live!! Live!! Don't just exist!!

Conquer the fold, and lead the whole world

Live!! Live!! Don't just exist!!

Is the silent plea of her soul.

Oh STS how may we

Try to be worthy of thee

Now standing of life's threshold

We pay our homage to thee

Reach!! Reach!! Reach for the heights!!

And when you get there, Reach for the next star

Reach!! Reach!! Reach for the heights!!

Is the challenge that we must take. 

Some things in life are never to be forgotten, never erased. Some words are by heart. So is my school song. Trust me, I typed it in one go, word by word. I sometimes sing the last paragraph. It gives me energy to go on. To live by the promise. To never give up, keep going, even when it gets tough. 

Life maybe really cruel, or maybe so is what you think!! 

You can hear the song: Yonder are the bricks of red - STS School song

This post is dedicated to the A-to-Z blogging challenge - the largest Blog Challenge in the history of Blogkind. My selected theme is "memories of St. Thomas' "- my Alma mater. This is the twenty fifth  post of the challenge, and is linked to the letter Y: Yonder are the bricks of red.
