Text: | Go Forward, Allen's Youth |

Tune: | ST. THOMAS |
1 Go forward, Allen's youth!
The future beckons you.
You've got to have "know-how" and faith
And the strength to follow through.
2 You never will be free
Unless you play your part;
So, get your "input in the pad"
Right from the very start.
3 Freedom is worth the price,
No matter what the cost;
So,"hang in there" and "do your thing,"
Or freedom will be lost.
4 You have expressed your plight
In many different ways;
So, press right on and "dig in" now,
And take the other phase.
5 That phase, that worthy stance,
Is competence in work;
So, come on in, the time is now!
"Get with it," do not shirk!
6 The Lord is on your side,
All captives are set free;
And in His strength you'll overcome;
March on to victory!
