“I Am An IJ Girl” Lyrics:
VERSE ONE
Wake up, it’s a new day
It’s time to face the world
Clean up, for a fresh start
For life to unfurl
Putting on my navy blue
Adjusting my belt
Putting on my badge now
Here’s the final touch
VERSE TWO
Who’s that in the mirror?
The girl who’s staring back?
I take a look deeper
And see just what is that
I see a girl of worth
With values so clear
Simple in virtue
Steadfast - in my duties here
CHORUS
I am an IJ girl
I’m not just any girl
The IJ spirit dwells in me
I am an IJ girl
I’m not just any girl
And that is what I’m proud to be -
An IJ girl!
VERSE THREE
Giving of myself to
Serve those in need
Seeing Christ in others
And in every deed
Respect and discipline
A passion for life
Creative, independent
Values - I hold dear with my life
VERSE FOUR
So it is with great pride
I don this pinafore
A symbol of the woman
Founded long before
Like those who’ve come before me
And those to come
We’re one big IJ family
Together - yes, we are one
CHORUS
I am an IJ girl
I’m not just any girl
The IJ spirit dwells in me
I am an IJ girl
I’m not just any girl
And that is what I’m proud to be -
An IJ girl!
BRIDGE MUSIC
CHORUS
I am an IJ girl
I’m not just any girl
The IJ spirit dwells in me
I am an IJ girl
I’m not just any girl
And that is what I’m proud to be -
An IJ girl!
An IJ girl!
An IJ girl!
