Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Oh, we are young and we are glad, We aim to spread good cheer And point our lives to the gospel light,
For we are, we are, We are the Targeteers.
2. We’ll set our target goal sky-high; We’ll aim all through our years To live the way that Jesus lived,
For we are, we are, We are the Targeteers.
3. We’ll follow those who love the Lord, Who live his teachings here, Whose aim it is to do his will,
We’re eager, joyous; We have faith; We are the Targeteers.
