Michigan Remember

[Verse 1]
Summer rain, harvest wane,​
Spring of learning come September.​
Celebrate, time will wait
While tomorrow lasts forever.​
Drink of maize Ann Arbor days
And Michigan, remember.​

[Verse 2]
Green to gold, shy to bold.​
Life explodes like rich October,​
What magic place, what time ago
Did wisdom grow from words and numbers?
Where did notes evolve to song?
At Michigan, remember?

[Verse 3]
Strike the red, furl the green.​
Maize and blue flies in November.​
Hallowed halls, tavern walls.​
At the hearthside when the victors
Tales are told, good men and bold
Will Michigan remember?

[Verse 4]
Warm, her eyes. Long goodbyes.​
Crystal laughter one December.​
Misty lights, snow-lit nights.​
Fire of youth now glowing ember.​
Mem'ries fade. The game is played.​
My Michigan, remember.​
