College Song and Hymn

College Song – We are Star of the Sea

By Robyn Horner

They went by sea,

From Ireland to a land still green,

With a vision, a dream,

And by the shore, these women built

The dream they saw,

Women living for more.

CHORUS

In our deeds, not mere words.

We are one community,

Who we are and who we’ll be,

We are Star of the Sea.

In our deeds, not mere words.

We are one community,

Who we are and who we’ll be,

We are Star of the Sea.

Foundation Strong, the generations

Followed on,

Just as now we belong.

The just, the true, the inward

Freedom that they knew

Carry on, red and blue.

CHORUS

In our deeds, not mere words.

We are one community,

Who we are and who we’ll be,

We are Star of the Sea.

In our deeds, not mere words.

We are one community,

Who we are and who we’ll be,

We are Star of the Sea.

We’ve come so far, we’re reaching

out for who we are

In the story of the Star,

And who we’ll be will touch more

Lives than we can see,

So we strive to be free.

CHORUS

In our deeds, not mere words.

We are one community,

Who we are and who we’ll be,

We are Star of the Sea.

In our deeds, not mere words.

We are one community,

Who we are and who we’ll be,

We are Star of the Sea.
