UC Merced Has Official Spirit Song, My Merced

Award-winning composer Jimmy Dunne was commissioned to create an alma mater song for the littlest UC, UC Merced.  He did, and it’s called My Merced.  You can take a listen below, and read more about My Merced’s evolution here.

‘My Merced’ lyrics

In the soil a dream was planted
In the rich earth, just a seed
The ground was toiled so tenderly
To cultivate the best in me

And the seed grew to a garden
As far as I can see
She welcomed me with open arms
That gave life to my dreams

Her lantern’s light
Shines so bright
For the world to see
My Merced, UC Merced

My Merced…
From a seed
