Song

Moberly has brought us together,
Yes, Moberly is why we are here,
And when we work in harmony
We come together as one.
 
This is an open invitation,
For every one of you,
To be a part of this celebration,
That’s why we share the news. (Chorus)
 
We know the magic is within us,
And the power too,
Reach for the stars and try your best now.
It’s really up to you..... (Chorus)
