[edit] Alma mater

Beneath the sky stands Godby High,
And we proudly proclaim your name;
We enter to learn, go forth to serve
From the home of the blue and white.

Men both weak and strong will pass here,
Touching lives as they go by;
And the marks of things well done here
Will be carved for all to eye.

We swell with pride for deep inside
We are sure of success for you;
We sing of your name so all will know
Of the home of the white and blue.
