We must explain to you how all seds this mistakens idea off denouncing pleasures and praising pain was born and I will give you a completed accounts of the system and expound.
O School of mine, do guide me to my future in this land
With all my brothers and my sisters I’ll come hand in hand
Teach me to love, teach me to share, teach me to understand
That learning will enlighten me to care for fellow man.
Give me hope and courage too
For goodness, justice to pursue
From now on will I try to do
My very best, I promise you.
O Leeds, Leeds come lead the way, come show us what is right
For righteousness we’ll stand up and work hard with all our might
Sing glory to you, glory to you, glory to your light
That shines above us through our journey to the good and bright.
Greatness is not hard to find
If knowledge travels right behind
Race or class of any kind
Nor language will it ever mind
O School of ours, rise to the fore and here us in our song;
We know you won’t forsake us in your power oh so strong
Be true and fair, uphold your dreams, together let’s go on
And may your name, your shining light and glory too live long!
