in ball we defend

stepping on the field in our garnet & grey,
training for weeks for this very day,
game after game, we only get better,
for each drip of sweat is how we measure.
and practice after practice we train even harder, 
so together as a team we only go farther. 
we watch tape after tape, to study our rival,
then step on the field to fight for survival.
we line up for battle and fight for our war,
keep pushing through till we can’t anymore.
we aim to win and always stick together 
on and off the field, birds of the same feather. 
and everywhere we go, we strike fear where we stay,
with our gee gee pride, bleeding garnet & grey.
on the field and off, we’re there for our brothers,
unable to ever replace one another,
and just like champions we never give up,
we go to war fighting for the vanier cup.
we won’t move when pushed, we stay standing strong,
not letting anyone take what’s been ours so long,
we fight for every inch we take on that field,
for the more inches we take, victory revealed
and no one will tell us who & what we can be,
because we want this more then our enemy. 
we leave everything on the field and never surrender,
born soldiers we fight and only get better. 
no margin for error, in ball we defend,
with the heart of a lion we fight till the end.
