The TRUETH Anthem
Our anthem, written from the teaching of Grand Master Won Kuk Kim. We wrote it for the Warrior Ceremony and for gatherings of TRUETH families, for students, parents and instructors to sing together.
Written to be sung slow and steady. Younger students can sing the chorus; older students and families the verses.
TRUST
I step to the mat and I bow,I breathe till my heart settles down.The ones who stand here beside mewill lift me each time I fall down.
Chorus
TRUST in the breath, TIME in the practice,TRANSCEND what I thought I could be.No child is broken, no light is too small,there is something extraordinary in me.
TIME
A white belt, a stripe, then another,each one I have earned with my hands.The masters who walked here before metaught the ones who now teach where I stand.
Chorus
TRUST in the breath, TIME in the practice,TRANSCEND what I thought I could be.No child is broken, no light is too small,there is something extraordinary in me.
TRANSCEND
When the fire inside me runs high,I have learned where to let it go.I stand with my family watching,and the people I love watch me grow.
Final chorus
TRUST in the breath, TIME in the practice,TRANSCEND what we thought we could be.No child is broken, no light is too small,there is something extraordinary in me.
