Kean University Alma MaterAs we march forward toward our horizon

Lo, we will trust with pride in our educationRaising our flag of Silver and Blue

To Kean we will always be true

The spark of knowledge has ignited within usWe go forward spreading light to all around usOur future is clear and we’re grateful to thee

To Kean we sing our loyalty

And so we rally round and stand here before herThe pride of the Garden State with reverence and honor

Knowing our purpose is strong and true

We lift our voicesAnd we rejoice in Kean University
