Verse 1
The crest upon the stone is set,
A future we cannot forget.
From eastern shores to dreaming spires,
We fuel the intellects and fires.
A table built on trusted lines,
Where academic merit shines.
We analyze the global grace,
To find you in that higher place.
Chorus
Doors are opening wide,
Oxford waits for you inside.
Hold the gold of Cambridge bright,
Step into the global light.
Chart the course to where you stand,
Take your future by the hand.
Doors are opening wide,
Oxford waits for you inside.
Verse 2
The index shows the path is clear,
With data from the finest year.
Top schools ascending to the peak,
The global standards that we seek.
From Shenzhen to the Shanghai light,
The vision is intensely bright.
Where education breaks the mold,
And stories of success unfold.
Chorus
Doors are opening wide,
Oxford waits for you inside.
Hold the gold of Cambridge bright,
Step into the global light.
Chart the course to where you stand,
Take your future by the hand.
Outro
The global index shows the way,
Your future starts today.
Your future starts today.
