about

Written by Monty Harper and Mrs. Farrington's 5th grade during a residency at Skyline Elementary in May 2011.

lyrics

Dressing up fancy, brushing my hair
Gotta look my best when I get there
Grandma and sister waiting in the car
Momma taking pictures like I'm some kind of star
Now is time to go you know we can't be late
Today's the big day, I’m gonna graduate

This is my day
This is my time to shine
This is my big moment
and I'm feeling fine
It always seemed so far ahead
But that was yesterday
Now I can say hip hip hooray
Cause this is my day

Standing on stage it feels a bit strange
Thinking bout next year, how will things change?
It took me so long to get to the top
What happens after this? Will the bubble just pop?
I donno how to guess what the future may be
It doesn’t matter right now; the spotlight’s on me!

Chorus

Now the ceremony’s over, having ice cream with my friends
Talkin bout our journey. Did it really have to end?
Class clowns, best buds, field trips to the zoo
Favorite teachers, games at recess, times we didn’t have a clue
And whatever life has waiting for me heading down the line
I always will remember this moment that was mine

Chorus
