End of an Era (Graduation)

Looking at the clock

Minutes counting down

Until the end of an era

A new chapter begins

Welcome to the real world

Not the stuff you see on TV

The world you want to embrace

The world you don't want to fear

The knowledge to take you higher

Jammed into your brain

Time to put it to good use;

Looking at the clock

Minutes down to zero

Time to move forward

The only direction

Heading towards the door

Stopping for a moment

Looking back at the past

All the memories earned

All the friends made

All the friends lost;

Looking through the window

A window to the future

It's foggy and uncertain

But you clean the glass

See the path you want to take

See your dreams unfold in front of you

Push the door open

Take a step outside

Into the future

A future you will conquer.
