I say Will, You say POWER.
I say Will, You say POWER.
WILL. POWER. WILL. POWER. 

We’re William Paterson proud pioneers,
Orange and black the colors ever held dear.
“I say WILL, You say POWER!” is what we cheer to
William Paterson Pioneers. 

We are the “U” that’s found in community,
We strive for honor, justice, and equity.
I’ll stand for you, and you will stand for me as
William Paterson Pioneers.

Trailblazing Pios we are brave Pioneers,
Undaunted we will lead ‘cross any frontier.
We’ll stand committed throughout our years to
William Paterson Pioneers.

I say Will, You say POWER.
I say Will, You say POWER.
William Paterson Pio
William Paterson Pio
William Paterson Pioneers!
