“Oh, Columbia” Music and words by Tom Kitt (b. 1974), Columbia College, 1996 Vocal performance by Brandon Victor Dixon, Columbia College, 2007 Musical performance by Belinda Whitney and Kristina Musser, violins; Tia Allen, viola; Sarah Hewitt, cello; and Ann Klein, guitar I’d do anything to be by your side I’d travel the world both far and wide Through gathering storms and the rising tide Columbia, oh Columbia But now the skies are the brightest blue And voices echo down the avenue It seems that everything reminds me of you Columbia, oh Columbia Stand up, stand tall Don’t let yourself give way Tomorrow’s still the future Today is still today From Low steps to the campus store We feel your spirit in our very core So roar you lion, roar you lion, roar …

Columbia, oh Columbia Stand up, stand proud The day has just begun Though we can’t always sing together We can still sing as one So, raise a glass to our old Broadway Where we shall raise one together some day, And toast our Alma Mater, now and for aye …

Columbia, oh Columbia, oh Columbia Now and for aye.
