Well here we are again / another year has come to an end / now it’s time to celebrate with your family and friends / because you made it / went and got yourself educated / aren’t you glad that you did all of that homework that you hated / _ it wasn’t easy and not always too fun / but you gotta admit it feels good to be done / _and now it’s time to say good-bye to this place / maybe that’s the real reason for the smile on your face / but I know you had a good time this year / making memories / the kind that will never disappear / like the time that you laughed so hard that it hurt / or when you got in trouble ‘cause you didn’t tuck in your shirt / _but there’s still a lot of work to do / see the world is dire need of people like you / who will do what’s right when nobody else cares / and who’s willing to take what they got and to share / you got a good education / Now do something with it / find a need and fill it…
You can change the world
You can make things right
You can be the one who makes a difference
Puts a little bit of joy in someone’s life
You can be somebody’s hero
Put a smile back on their face
You can do something absolutely amazing
Make this world a better place
Don’t listen when they tell you you’re too young
And there ain’t nothing you can do
You can change the world
And I know that maybe there are some of you here / who are kinda worried ‘bout what’s gonna happen next year / feeling a little nervous / ‘cause you don’t know how it’s gonna be / but take it from me / you’re gonna thrive and succeed / you’ve got all that you need / so there’s no need to be scared / if you can make it here / you can make it anywhere / but I’m gonna miss you / that much I can’t deny / but I’m a tough guy / so you probably won’t see me cry / but I wish you could stay another year or two / well not everybody / maybe just you and you / _but before you go / promise me this / that making someone smile is there on top of your list / of the things that you do everyday from now on / that way I won’t feel so bad next year when you’re gone / ‘cause I know you’ll be out there somewhere doing something great / and I can’t hardly wait to see / just what kind of place this world’s gonna be/ see guys I’m counting on you / there’s no limit to what you can do…
