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
