[Intro]
In the land where the rivers flow,
A young man rises, ready to go.
From Oklahoma's heart to Kansas fields,
William’s dreams are strong, destiny yields.
[Verse 1]
A Choctaw son with Zacatecas pride,
Long hair waving, standing tall by his side.
Graduation cap tossed high in the sky,
Rolling into Emporia, it’s time to fly.
With his Nissan Cube, music up loud,
K-Pop beats, he’s feeling so proud.
[Pre-Chorus]
Late nights at Little Caesars, pizzas and dreams,
Gaming through the hours, or so it seems.
With each slice he makes, the future’s in sight,
Emporia Hornets, he’s ready to fight.
[Chorus]
Hey, William, you’re the one,
Chasing down the morning sun.
In a world that’s yours to claim,
Let your heart ignite the flame.
Emporia's calling, treat him well,
Handsome young man, you’ve got a story to tell.
[Verse 2]
Navigating college, new friends to find,
With open arms and an open mind.
His dark skin shines beneath the sun,
Crafting a life that’s just begun.
Every video game, every laughter shared,
Building sweet memories, no longer scared.
[Pre-Chorus]
Late nights at Little Caesars, pizzas and dreams,
Gaming through the hours, or so it seems.
With each slice he makes, the future’s in sight,
Emporia Hornets, he’s ready to fight.
[Chorus]
Hey, William, you’re the one,
Chasing down the morning sun.
In a world that’s yours to claim,
Let your heart ignite the flame.
Emporia's calling, treat him well,
Handsome young man, you’ve got a story to tell.
[Bridge]
So lift your gaze, the sky is wide,
With every heartbeat, you’ll decide.
From Oklahoma roots to the Kansas land,
Unfold your dreams, take a stand.
[Chorus]
Hey, William, you’re the one,
Chasing down the morning sun.
In a world that’s yours to claim,
Let your heart ignite the flame.
Emporia's calling, treat him well,
Handsome young man, you’ve got a story to tell.
[Outro]
So here’s to you, with open skies,
With hope in your heart, let’s rise, let’s rise.
A Choctaw boy, a new dawn in sight,
William’s journey, shining bright.
