Public Access University songs

The Public Access University has a variety of songs which resemble their tradition. The Exposition Cadets Band, plays at least all of the songs listed here.

## One Family (official alma mater)

The song "One Family", is the official alma mater of the university, had been made official in 1967 after an annual commencement celebration. The song is not often played by the university band because of it's lack of popularity.

Behind forests our college stands,
And a hall made of wood is our throne.
Inside there is a great feeling,
We're not alone.
Walk through the hardest soil,
And our Mother you will see.
When life tries hard,
To keep us apart,
We're one family.
And over skies of teal at noon,
Our colors have been gratefully born,
Together with the Lord's own might,
They yield all scorn.
Time may grow old our hearts,
But not our victories.
Our time of death,
Is not finished breath,
For one family.
## Dear P.A.U (graduation song)

"Dear P.A.U.", occasionally sung at graduation ceremonies, is, according to some people, as the definitive college song of the school because it's massive popularity between students. It is also sung after a rugby victory for the Indian Eagles. It has been composed by Frank Botine in 1961, for the graduation ceremony of the class of 1962.

Old P.A.U, we sing to thee,
Here's our sacred appeal.
Never let the combat rasp
Your banner of black and teal.
We salute you, P.A.U,
Guide us through a life so new.
Yours, the spirit, vouch and true.
Dear P.A.U.
## P.A.U. Fight Song (official fight song)

The P.A.U. Fight Song, titled officially, or In The City of No More Town, is the official fight song of the university. It has been the school's only song in the 1950's, until the graduation song had been introduced. The song has been credited to Michael Barrow in 1956.

In the city of No More Town,
Our Alma Mater stands.
Sing for it LOUD!
Sing for it PROUD!
For our Alma Mater so grand.
In the city of No More Town,
Our Alma Mater shall win.
Hit 'em right HIGH!
Hit 'em right LOW!
P.A.U.!
## Soar, Indian Eagles (secondary fight song)

Soar, Indian Eagles is a fight song that is rarely used in sporting events. It has been played in the 1990's every time the association football team makes a score by the band, but now it has been replaced with American pop songs. The song, written by Kenny Fleur and composed by Jay Shiver, has won a national intercollegiate award in music.

Soar, Indian Eagles,
We've got to fight 'till the win is ours.
Soar, Indian Eagles,
Don't let the blue ones steal your powers!
We've gotta cheer, cheer, cheer,
We've gotta steer, steer, steer,
And we will back up for the score.
So, Soar, Soar, Indian Eagles,
You Indian Eagles, Soar!
S-O-A-R, S-O-A-R, SOAR EAGLES, SOAR EAGLES, SOAR! SOAR! SOAR!
S-O-A-R, S-O-A-R, SOAR EAGLES, SOAR EAGLES, MORE! MORE! MORE!
## Who else but Koohkah (cheer song)

Who else but Koohkah is known as the only original cheer song of the university. It has been composed in 1954 by Abe G. Stilton, the creator of Koohkah, which was the mascot of the university in it's first years of life. According to Stilton, Kookah is a "teal bird with black and brown plumage, and it only speaks with "woo"s, wherever he needs to fight." He then made a song for the mascot to self-proclaim it as a "memorial mascot" to the university.

Who else but Koohkah? Who else but Koohkah?
No one but Koohkah! No one but Koohkah!
Who else but Koohkah? Who else but Koohkah?
WOO! WOO! WOO!
Who'll win to Koohkah? Who'll win to Koohkah?
No one to Koohkah! No one to Koohkah!
Who'll win to Koohkah? Who'll win to Koohkah?
WOO! WOO! WOO!
