We sat together into the night

Waiting for the morning of

Graduation day.

And offered prayers to lead us forth

Along the road and light our way from

Graduation day.

And who would win, and who would lose

And who would choose to take the road

That led beyond to where

No one before had ever gone.

And in my dreams I garnered fame

And was able to lead the world to

Something new and so I thought on the

Eve of graduation day.

And when the ceremony was over

And we bid our last goodbyes

Some moved on or stayed behind

And never tried to leave the

Graduation day.
