I am proud to be in your presence tonight
Fellow Texians, lend me your ear;
Was the grace of God brought us through the fight
And it is destiny now brings us here
Let us take off our hats to our brothers in arms
And the chances that they never had
We are blessed in the bounty of Texas tonight
Let us drink to those who marched that road to Goliad
Oh, I see the toil on each weary brow
But I know better days lie ahead
Where great men will build empires from the soil
Where the blood of our compadres was shed
So let us send out our hearts to our brothers in arms
And the choices that they never had
We are blessed in the bounty of Texas tonight
Let us drink to those who marched that road to Goliad
