The Day We Say Goodbye
The time has come to bid our school adieu
And leave behind the memories we’ve made.
We’ve grown so much, it’s true, it’s overdue
To spread our wings and venture unafraid.
Our teachers, friends, and family all stand
To honor us and celebrate this day.
With tears in our eyes and hearts in our hands
We say goodbye, and wish that we could stay.

And cherish all the moments we’ve shared.

And use it well as we go forth prepared.
So here’s to us, the class of twenty-one,

And venture out into the world ahead,
We stop to think of all the ways we’ve grown
And all the moments we’ll remember instead.

Will stay with us through all the years to come.
And though we’re sad to see this time now fade
We know that it’s the start of something fun.

And all the paths that we will soon explore.

From family, friends, and teachers who gave us strife.
But here we are, with caps and gowns so bright
Ready to take on the challenges ahead.
We’ll use our skills to make things better, right
And leave this world a little more well-bred.
For though we’re young, we have the power to change
The world around us, one step at a time.
We’ll be the ones who help make it less strange
And bring about a future more sublime.

As we embark on journeys far and wide.
We’ll never lose the friendships we’ve engrossed
And always hold our heads up high with pride.
For this is just the start of something new
A chance to find our passion and pursue
The dreams that deep inside of us do brew
And make the most of everything we do.
So here’s to us, the class of twenty-one,
Our journey’s just begun, our futures bright as sun.

To show the world just how amazing we are.
