Farewell

[Instrumental]  [Verse 1] Beneath the old oak tree, where laughter once rang free, In the halls where we roamed, now echoes of our glee. The clock strikes the hour, as memories come to be, We stood side by side, now we chase our dreams.  [Chorus] the winds of youth, they scatter us wide, the ships of dreams, set sail, they ride, the songs of friends, forever ensconced, Oh,the paths we tread, diverge in stride.  [Verse 2] Pictures capture the time, our youthful faces aligned, Empty classrooms now silent, save for the echoes that bind. We hug, we say goodbye, with tears that won't confine, For our dreams take flight, on wings that are designed.  [Chorus] the winds of youth, they scatter us wide, the ships of dreams, set sail, they ride, the songs of friends, forever ensconced, Oh,the paths we tread, diverge in stride.  [Bridge] Farewell, dear campus, farewell, dear friends, it's time, Our stories like stars, they twinkle in the climes, No matter where we go, this bond we'll always find, Graduation's not the end, it's the start of what's to come. not the end, it's the start of what's to come. [Chorus] Oh, the winds of youth, they scatter us wide, Oh, the ships of dreams, set sail, they ride, Oh, the songs of friends, forever ensconced, Oh, Graduation, the paths we tread, diverge in stride.  [Outro] Let's carry hope with us, bravely we move forward, Through rain or shine, we'll stand tall, we'll be restored. Graduation, we don't say goodbye, For in our hearts, we're forever tied.
