The days get longer
The talks get shorter
Those last few moments
When everything we have worked for
Finally comes to its final hour
That moment when we wave everyone
Good bye

Our Friends head their own way
Down a road unknown
To the land of the unknown
All alone but never alone
No journey is ever gone alone

Our parents cry
As they kiss their babies good bye
We are adults now,
But are forever babies in their eyes
Scared of the journey we are taking
Never alone, always by our side

We take these steps on our own
But not totally alone
These people we leave behind
Still a part of our lives,
This journey is ours
Our steps begin here.
