*It is interesting to note how many people think that the official state song of Texas is "The Eyes of Texas," which is "only" the official Alma Mater of the University of Texas, while the official state song is in fact "Texas, Our Texas, the words to which I have posted here.

TEXAS, OUR TEXAS
Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty State!
Texas, our Texas! So wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, Withstanding ev'ry test;
O Empire wide and glorious, You stand supremely blest.
[Refrain]
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, Thro'out the ages long.
Texas, O Texas! Your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far.
Emblem of freedom! It sets our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
[Sing Refrain]
Texas, dear Texas! From tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes! We come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.
[Sing Refrain]
