Seven Snowbound Seekers

We're seven snowbound seekers
Lord knows we're not sleepers
We're up and ready before the crack of dawn
Marching down the hallways
Singing "des colores"
Glad we left our cars back home.

'Cause here inside a light shines
We don't care about the time
Though you think our art work a crime.

We studied sacraments, ideals
And obstacles to grace
Had good meals
And even had some fun.

There were stories of surprise
And tears that filled our eyes
While prayers lifted us up.

We're thankful for palanca
The rector and the team
The rollos and the snow fresh and clean.

We're seven snowbound seekers
Lord knows we're not sleepers
Glad we left our cars back home.
