Graduation day,
Finally you’re there, hats in the air.
Reaching for the ring, grab the wheel
Up another rung on the ladder.

Did you say goodbye, look your mom in the eye?
Let your toes sink in the sand, what’s the rush?
Ah……… what’s the rush?

Promotion day,
Did what you had to do, rising to the top.
Reaching for the ring, grab the wheel,
Up another rung on the ladder.

Did you say goodbye, look your dad in the eye?
Open up in the open air, what’s the rush?
Ah……… what’s the rush?

Final days,
Nothing more to do, dust in the wind.
Vanished are the rings, gone the wheel,
No more rungs, no more ladders.

Did you kiss them all? What will you miss?
How brief the time we have here, I wonder what’s the rush?
Ah……… what’s the rush?
