Today’s the day we thought would never come

Today’s the day we thought would never come

Through sleepless nights and busy days,

Now our song is sung

With cap and gown worn upon us all

Today’s the day we stand,

Much accomplished, proud, and tall

Our lives are just beginning

There is so much up ahead,

“This is just a stepping stone,”

A wise man once said

We all have separate paths to take,

So let your dreams soar,

And always listen to your heart

above the worlds roar

As we say goodbye to yesterday’s

And shake tomorrow’s hand

We’re striving towards a new goal,

Towards bigger dreams we’ve planned

There are no more popcorn days,

No more show and tell,

Ready to be on our own,

We are ready to excel

We grew up so fast

Too quick some may say,

Promising to make you proud

Of the red, white, and grey

And perhaps life will conquer us

And we won’t be so bold,

Or perhaps we will conquer life

With these memories we hold

Either way we’re here today

With teachers, family, friends,

And we thank you for those memories

As our high school journey ends

So today’s the day we celebrate

Together as a class

Because today is the day

Yes, we made it here at last.
