Last day in this class
Zoning out at the white board
Turned around at the clock
Time running out
Still not knowing if I will pass
Next year I'll be all alone
Teacher picked up the phone
He said I'm going home
Meeting my family outside the door
I say goodbye to this school
Knowing I felt like a fool
Knew I should’ve tried harder
Without my friends I'll be like a lonely tiger
I say “goodbye to this wonderful school”
