When times get tough, Sacramento State remains
The heartbeat of the city.
No matter the occasion, we bring together all things
Fitting to remedy the situation.
Because through every circumstance,
And every dark cloud,
We must remain Sacramento Proud.
We do so because as Sac State students and alumni,
Being able to fight and overcome adversity
Has been imprinted in our brains,
So much so that it leaves a stain.
Leaving the only option,
To maintain.
So with strength and perseverance...
We will unite stronger than ever...
To prove ourselves as proud Hornets forever.
