We had a blast it went too fast We wish it could last School is over It's a new day. Wish we could stay Going away from Skyline Island So say goodbye to Skyline Island Time to go our separate ways For many years we've grown and learned there We're gonna miss our Skyline days We played in the sun we had some fun Now we must run Summer is calling Now we must flee, so we are free Happy to be Moving forward So say goodbye to Skyline Island Time to go our separate ways For many years we've grown and learned there We're gonna miss our Skyline days Although we have mixed emotions, It's time to celebrate We're nervous wrecks, so hit the decks It's time to graduate Say goodbye to Skyline Island Time to go our separate ways For many years we've grown and learned there We're gonna miss our Skyline days

Every day I learn, learn, learn A new way I can burn, burn, burn I wanna see the light I want my freedom My heart's on fire My heart's on fire My heart's on fire and it's burning brighter Can I change my fate, fate, fate? I cannot stand to wait, wait, wait Who will I become? I wanna see my future My heart's on fire My heart's on fire My heart's on fire and it's burning brighter I have talent but I don't know what it is How can I let it out? How can I set it free? I have talent but I don't know what it is Won't somebody help me? My heart's on fire My heart's on fire My heart's on fire and it's burning brighter My heart's on fire My heart's on fire My heart's on fire My heart's on fire

Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - and survive Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - look alive Do the Back to back scratch. Grab yourself a buddy Stand up and wiggle like a pig getting muddy Do the Let It Go Blow. Push out the power, Throw the snow, Raise the ice tower Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - and survive Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - look alive Do the Boogy Man. Hands over head Stumble around like you're just half dead Do the Crazy Gator. Fall to the ground Lie on your back, shake your body all around Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - and survive Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - look alive I got the weirdest moves in the whole fifth grade No you don't your skillz are starting to fade My moves are wackier than yours and that's a fact No your weird moves are just an act I put my thumbs in my ears and hang upside down I can do the baby crawl with a wah wah sound I can point my toes up toward the sky I can dance with just my eye You know what? We've both got moves Let's just get down to the groove Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - and survive Drop that Wacky Wack Drop that Wacky Wack - look alive

I've got the eye of the veggie. I can make it, I'm strong. My roots are growing very long. I've got the eye of the veggie. I'm growing, with pride. My leaves are spreading green and wide There's something you need to know It takes a long long time to grow You just have to go with the flow Or you will feel frustration You may be in a drought And you won't be able to sprout But don't begin to doubt Improve your situation I've got the eye of the veggie. I can make it, I'm strong. My roots are growing very long. I've got the eye of the veggie. I'm growing, with pride. My leaves are spreading green and wide You shouldn't even blink At what other people think Just give yourself a wink And show determination Whenever your roots are bound And it's got you feeling down Just turn your day around And have a celebration I've got the eye of the veggie. I can make it, I'm strong. My roots are growing very long. I've got the eye of the veggie. I'm growing, with pride. My leaves are spreading green and wide My leaves are spreading green and wide
