Fight Songs

  1. Goal Horn and Goal Song

    “Bro Hymn” by Pennywise

    To all my friends, present past and beyond
    Especially those who weren’t with us too long
    Life is the most precious thing you can lose
    While you were here the fun was never ending
    Laugh a minute was only beginning
    Canton, Colvin, Nichols, this one’s for you

    Ever get the feeling you can’t go on
    Just remember whose side it is that you’re on
    You’ve got friends with you till the end
    If you’re ever in a tough situation
    We’ll be there with no hesitation
    Brotherhood’s our rule we cannot bend

    When you’re feeling too close to the bottom
    You know who it is you can count on
    Someone will pick you up again
    We can conquer anything together
    All of us are bonded forever
    If I die you die that’s the way it is

    To all my friends, present past and beyond
    To all those who weren’t with us too long
    Life is the most precious thing you can lose
    While you were here the fun was never ending
    Laugh a minute was only the beginning
    Canton, Colvin, Nichols, this one’s for you
