Hold on to our dream

IJ Spirit burning bright
Fill this world with love and light
Light that shines for all to see
Love that sets our spirit free
.
IJ friendships through the years
Born of simple joys and tears
Something tells us deep inside
IJ friends are friends for life
.
Hold on to our dream of peace
Don't stop believing
Our hearts and hands, ever seeking, ever serving
Hold on to the sound
Of our friends all joyously singing
Our voices raised to the Lord our God aboe
Hold on to our dream
.
IJ Spirit burning bright
Fill our hearts with love and light
Light to see ourselves anew
Love begins with me and you
.
IJ voices ringing true
Reaching out and breaking through
Every heart will hear our call
Share our dream of peace for all
.
Hold on to our dream, hold fast to the IJ dream
Hold on to our dream

Jasmine and i were singing this song today. It is simply just so meaningful. Sounds a little spastic here and there. But if you were one of us, you will understand the kind of attachment you feel to IJ schools once you've spent your education years there.
I love the IJ Family.
