Verse 1
There's a place in the mountains that's near to our hearts.
Its beacon of knowledge shines forth
To empower and strengthen us right from the start
As we journey on our chosen course.

Chorus
Mountain State—shines on in the darkness.
Mountain State—your flame burns bright.
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
This university will always be home.

Verse 2
Your wisdom and guidance have changed many lives
Making hopes and dreams come true.
You inspire, encourage and prompt us to strive
As we're learning, all our lives through.

(Repeat Chorus)
