Rise Into Tomorrow

(hmmm-mmm) Packed the boxes, cleared the shelf

Looking at a younger version of myself

In the hallway mirror by the door

I don't walk those hallways anymore

And the tassel hangs

on the frame

Everything

is about to change (oh-oh)

Here's to the long drives under the stars

To finding out exactly who

we are

We took the stage and we

turned the page Now we're stepping out of the cage

My cap

and gown are on the bed

Every word

my teachers ever said

Is spinning like a carousel inside

Take a breath and step outside

We laughed until we cried

Standing side by side

Now the future's open wide (yeah)

Here's to the long drives under the stars

To finding out exactly who we are

We took the stage and we

turned the page Now we're stepping out of the cage

We made

it through

Here's to me,

and here's to you (hmmmm)
