A Song for Southwestern

Dancing With Eagles.

Born from a vision, from dreams of what might be;
Southwestern rose on the prairie – as a place for you and me.
Beneath a wide and open sky it formed with
Faith as a compass and bright hopes like a star;
Like an eagle in full flight, they knew it could go far. //

On wings of eagles, we will soar upwards toward the heights.
Southwestern has a mission, a purpose and a place -
Rising higher, scaling mountains, determined to win the race;
Following the King of Kings, the God of all creation;
No matter the hurdles, no matter the cost,
No matter the thunder, the storms, or the lights. //

So come dance with the eagles
As we wheel among the mighty peaks.
Hear the wind as it rushes and lifts us to the heights –
See blooming clouds and watch the broken lightening as it streaks;
We are flying high into the future – nothing can stop us now.
Faith is our compass and bright hope is our star. //

We are flying high into the future – nothing can stop us now.
All weapons fail against God’s own;
For we stand on a solid rock,
and we do not stand alone;
For faith is our compass and bright hope…is our star.
