Tassels sway in the whispering air
Dreams we chased are standing right there
Books closed tight but the story's alive
Caught in a moment where futures collide
Caps in the air we're touching the sky
Leaving the ground but never goodbye
Steps so heavy yet hearts so light
Graduation feels beyond the night
Echoes bounce from these hollow halls
Frames of time hang on these walls
Yesterday’s struggle today’s proud flame
Born in the fire of life's hard games
We built this ladder from tears and sweat
Climbing high we ain’t there yet
Oh the bittersweet’s got us in its grasp
Holding on tight as the moments flash
Caps in the air we're touching the sky
Leaving the ground but never goodbye
Steps so heavy yet hearts so light
Graduation feels beyond the night
Friends like roots but the wind will call
We march on but we won't let them fall
Streetlights hum under stars so wide
Diplomas in hand but our souls still ride
Caps in the air we're touching the sky
Leaving the ground but never goodbye
Steps so heavy yet hearts so light
Graduation feels beyond the night
The night
The night
The night
The night
