The World Is Waiting
At times like these, it's hard to know the proper things to say
I think and plan but nothing seems to come out the right way
A part of me jumps for joy and a part of me wants to cry
But how can I say my new hellos when I haven't yet said goodbye?
I wish that I could tell you that we'll never ever have to part
But know that I'll always have a piece of you with me in my heart
Change is happening every day and sometimes I'm afraid
But change is growth and growth is life - it's how our dreams are made
If today is the first day of the rest of your life
Tell me what are you gonna do?
How will you make your dreams come true?
If today is the first of a life full of new beginnings
Tell me what are you gonna do?
The world is waiting for you
If you focus on the endings, then I think you've got it wrong
So take a moment to listen to the words within this song
We take our separate paths and won't meet til who knows when
But I know now that every ending's just the chance to begin again
If today is the first day of the rest of your life
Tell me what are you gonna do?
How will you make your dreams come true?
If today is the first of a life full of new beginnings
Tell me what are you gonna do?
The world is waiting for you
And if for a moment, I ever lose my way
I will be strong when I look back on this day
If today is the first day of the rest of your life
Tell me what are you gonna do?
How will you make your dreams come true?
If today is the first of a life full of new beginnings
Tell me what are you gonna do?
The world is waiting for you

Those are the lyrics to the song I wrote for the 6th grade to sing at graduation. It's the first bit of music I've written since getting out of grad school and the first true *song* I've completed in almost three. The song's been a huge success at school with every kid and every teacher who's gotten to hear it.
I have a lot on my mind right now, but between classes, report cards, graduation rehearsals, teacher appreciation dinner, the pier fundraiser, my massive (104,000+) GW fic and new dolls... I just don't have the time to write yet. Hopefully, once graduation is over next week, I'll be able to give a more detailed explanation of what we've been up to and what's happening next.
