TO BE OUR BEST
Kevin Bates SM

Many hearts from many lands
Many families here,
In many languages we sing
One song of life we share

Refrain:
Growing to be our best,
Learning every day
Like Mary carrying God’s Word
We learn and love God’s way.

Our Lady of Dolours
Has memories for us
New memories we now create
New spirit now will grow.

Respecting all our differences
We celebrate as one,
We dance and sing, we learn and pray,
Our best is just begun.

Parents, teachers, children all
Bring life and joy and care.
We build a space where all belong,
Our school’s great gifts we share.

To God we lift our hearts and minds
As Mary used to do,
Rejoicing, dancing, running free,
Our song is clear and true.
