Masa telah pun beredar
Detik usaha dikenang
Ku tetap akan bertekad
Untuk kecapi kejayaan

Kami hadapi apa saja
Segala rintangan diharungi
Tidak kira bila masanya
Ke kan pegang pada keazaman hidup
Sentiasa...

Chorus:
Ku Tempuhi Segala Cabaran
Dengan keyakinan di sanubariku
Bagai menggenggam bara api
Sanggup berkorban Di mana jua
Hingga menjejak kegemilangan

Pada permulaan perjalanan
Bagai hanyut dilautan sepi
Tetap merentasi halangan
Itulah semangat daku pada bila-bila masa
