CHIJ - I Am an IJ Girl (feat. CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity) Lyrics

Wake up, it's a new day,
It's time to face the world.
Clean up for a fresh start,
For life to unfurl.
Putting on my navy blue,
Adjusting my belt,
Putting on my badge now -
Here's the final touch.
Who's that in the mirror,
The girl who's staring back?
I take a look deeper
And see just what is that.
I see a girl of worth
With values so clear:
Simple in virtue,
Steadfast in my duties here.
I am an IJ girl;
I'm not just any girl -
The IJ Spirit dwells in me.
I am an IJ girl;
I'm not just any girl -
And that is what I'm proud to be:
An IJ girl!
Giving of myself to
Serve those in need;
Seeing Christ in others
And in every deed.
Respect and discipline,
A passion for life,
Creative, independent:
Values I hold dear with my life
So it is with great pride
I don this pinafore,
A symbol of the woman
Founded long before.
Like those who've come before me
And those to come,
We're one big IJ family
Together - yes, we are one.
I am an IJ girl;
I'm not just any girl -
The IJ Spirit dwells in me.
I am an IJ girl;
I'm not just any girl -
And that is what I'm proud to be:
An IJ girl!
I am an IJ girl;
I'm not just any girl -
The IJ Spirit dwells in me.
I am an IJ girl;
I'm not just any girl -
And that is what I'm proud to be:
An IJ girl!
An IJ girl!
An IJ girl!
