• The sun is shining
    And birds are singing
    In my ears an alarm is ringing
    It's just another day
    In my own wonderland
    That you call life

    I tumble out of bed
    And stumble out the door
    So now I'm on my way
    Could I ask for more
    If I had just one wish
    But there's nothing better than this

    Cars are honking
    Kids are laughing
    All the while I'm not stopping
    As I run down the street
    I feel so light on my feet
    While I on my skin I feel the sun's heat

    I see the school up ahead
    And my heart fills with dread
    Why couldn't I just be dead
    Then I shake the thought from my head
    As I slow down
    And my smile turns into a frown

    And my happiness fell
    I was officially in hell
    Would I even survive?
    Only time could tell
    I felt like I was stuck in jail
    Locked away in a dark cell

    Then I spot my friends
    I see their waving hands
    I look at their bright smiles
    Now I know showing up was worth while
    So then I make my way over
    As the day starts to grow older

    Once school is over, it's over
    There's not another year
    Make it last while you're here
    Now, for the last time, I share my goodbyes
    As we hold our diplomas, each of us cries

    Now that we're older, so much older
    We have all been touched by time
    Here each of us lay, all together
    Thinking back to the good old days
    When we were younger, so much younger
    When he had held so much time in our hands
