Graduation Songs

Like any typical EDubb event, our chorus was rehearsing up to the last minute. Of course, we started at the last minute, but that's pretty typical too! Ms. Smiley picked a couple of great songs this year, as she usually does, and our Select Group (consisting of graduating members of chorus and a small group of underclassmen to round out our numbers) did a great job!!

Within These Walls©

We have been together for all these years, standing strong united through the laughter and tears.
Now it's time to go our sep'rate ways, but we are bonded by the mem'ry of our days
within these walls (these walls); there was safety and love within these walls (these walls);
there was learning, there was yearning for tomorrow.
And now the day has come to leave all but our mem'ries within these walls.

Now we face the future with confidence, hoping and believing we can make a difference.
We'll be growing stronger day by day, building on the firm foundation that was laid
within these walls (these walls); there was safety and love within these walls (these walls);
there was learning, there was yearning for tomorrow.
And now the day has come to leave all but our mem'ries, our memories.

Within these walls (these walls); there was spirit and joy.
Within these walls (these walls); there was honor,there was loyalty and longing.
And now the day has come to leave all but our mem'ries, within these walls.
Within these walls! Within these walls...

Place In This World©

The wind is moving, but I am standing still;
a life of pages waiting to be filled.
A heart that's hopeful, a head that's full of dreams
but this becoming is harder than it seems.
Feels like - I'm
looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find
my place in this world, my place in this world.
Not a lot to lean on I need your light to help me find
my place in this world, my place in this world. If there are millions down on their knees,
among the many, can you still hear me?
Hear me asking, "Where do I belong?
Is there a vision that I can call my own?"
Show me - I'm
looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find
my place in this world, my place in this world.
Not a lot to lean on I need your light to help me find
my place in this world, my place in this world.

Looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find
my place in this world, my place in this world.
Not a lot to lean on, I need your light to help me find
my place in this world, my place in this world,
my place in this world...

I didn't write these songs, as you can see. I only put them here so people could see what we sang at our graduation. If you're affiliated with anyone listed above or have anything to do with the song and you've got a problem with this, by all means, email me! No harm was meant and I'm sure no harm will come to these songs!
