The Ground We Build Upon
[Intro – Soft piano]
R-S-S… Layer Two… Foundation…
[Verse 1]
Moral intent, the spark within,
Ethical awareness, where we begin,
Value consistency, word and deed,
Planting a righteous seed.
[Pre-Chorus]
Layer by layer, we build on this,
The foundation none can dismiss!
[Chorus]
Foundation! The ground we build upon!
Moral intent, from dusk till dawn!
Ethical awareness, truth and care,
Value consistency, everywhere!
[Verse 2]
Responsibility, we own our way,
Truthfulness guides us every day,
Personal conduct, strong and true,
Institutional conduct, for me and you.
Relational justice, fair and right,
Social responsibility, shining bright,
Corrective action, when we fall,
Restoration answers the call.
[Pre-Chorus]
Layer by layer, we stand up tall!
The Foundation guides us all!
[Chorus]
Foundation! The ground we build upon!
Moral intent, from dusk till dawn!
Ethical awareness, truth and care,
Value consistency, everywhere!
[Bridge – Call and response, handclaps]

[Final Chorus – Key change, epic]
Foundation! The ground we build upon!
Moral intent, from dusk till dawn!
Ethical awareness, truth and care!
R-S-S, the foundation we all share!
[Outro]
R-S-S!
