From her steel that traveled from Pennsylvania
to the people who voted to fund her construction,
she stands as a testament to cooperation—
what we might yet build from imagination. 

But the glory goes to those brave workers
who dared build the impossible bridge.
Day and night they labored for four years.
They risked plummeting into dark waters
so that generations might easier cross her
silvery, glistening waves to this very day. 

She is the great steel handshake
uniting the people of this region together.
The marvel of her beauty shines through the fog,
calling out to travelers near and far.

This glorious guardian of the golden gate
decked in orange like a kiss from the sunset—
she stands there strong and proud,
bridging the past and future of our state,
beckoning us onward for adventure is our fate.
