“High O’er Towering Pines”
High over towering pines our voices swell,
Praising those Gothic spires,
we love so well.
Here sons and daughters stand,
faithful and true,
Hailing our alma mater,
F.S.U. -

And may we ever loyal be;
As in days of old,
Thy daughters bore the torches three.Sons and daughters all,
Will know that at the top we’ll stand;
And Florida State will be,
The very best in all the land. -
