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.
