Lyrics:

I can persevere, and no hard work can frighten
Give me challenges, and I will work to crush them
‘Cause I am independent,will rise to anything you give

I build my school up and keep my mind in the now
I am optimistic, spread kindness all around
‘Cause I am neighborly and will help us all succeed

And a pioneer is what I am
A pioneer

I’ve got my pride, and I will show it all to you
I’ve got my pride, and I will show it in my school
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide

I’ve got my pride, and you can have it too
I’ve got my pride, a pioneer through and through
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide

I like my schoolmates, they are the best around
I show empathy, help my friends when they’re down
‘Cause I’ve got endurance, and keep grinding all the time

I reflect and compare, think all of what I’ve learned
Ask me where I come from, I’ll say I’m from McVay
‘Cause I am amazing and can show what I can do

And a pioneer is what I am
A pioneer

I’ve got my pride, and I will show it all to you
I’ve got my pride, and I will show it in my school
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide

I’ve got my pride, and you can have it too
I’ve got my pride, a pioneer through and through
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide

I’ve been working hard
Show McVay how it’s done
When I grow old
I won’t forget where I’m from
I like being best
I’ve learned a lot, a ton
When I grow old
I won’t forget where I’m from

I’ve got my pride
My pride

I’ve got my pride, and I will show it all to you
I’ve got my pride, and I will show it in my school
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide

I’ve got my pride, and you can have it too
I’ve got my pride, a pioneer through and through
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide
I’ve got my pri-i-i-i-i-ide
