Lyrics

(Verse 1)
They gather at the clubhouse, where the Lions all unite,
On McIntosh Avenue, they meet on Monday night.
Since 1948, they’ve answered every call,
With hearts full of service, they're a beacon to all.

(Chorus)
We are the Lions, hear our mighty call,
Serving our community, big and small.
Hand in hand, together we stand,
With the Orange Park Lions, united and grand.

(Verse 2)
They plant the flowers for Earth Day, they clean the town so bright,
Beautifying spaces, they turn day into night.
From eyeglass donations to feeding those in need,
They work with love and passion, never driven by greed.

(Chorus)
We are the Lions, hear our mighty call,
Serving our community, big and small.
Hand in hand, together we stand,
With the Orange Park Lions, united and grand.

(Bridge)
At Grove Park Elementary, they made a difference there,
Providing meals and haircuts, showing how they care.
From helping stray kittens to sheltering the lost,
The Lions' love and kindness never counts the cost.

(Verse 3)
In the heart of Orange Park, their service shines so true,
Through rain or shine, they’re there, always pushing through.
With each donation gathered, each life they strive to touch,
The Orange Park Lions prove that little things mean much.

(Chorus)
We are the Lions, hear our mighty call,
Serving our community, big and small.
Hand in hand, together we stand,
With the Orange Park Lions, united and grand.

(Outro)
So here’s to the Lions, let’s give them a cheer,
For 75 years of service and many more each year.
They are the heart of the town, they are the pride and the grace,
The Orange Park Lions Club, making our world a better place.

The melody, beat and chord pattern work nicely together. My only suggestion for your consideration is the chorus. If you want something easy for the members to learn and sing along, you might consider using the same chorus throughout. Of course, it's your song and your club, so you have final say on the song's construction.
