The final bell rang loud and clear
We walked away with messed up cheer
Backpacks full and hearts unsure
The world ahead,
both raw and pure When the bell rang,
we didn't know
How fast the winds of time would blow
A wave, a smile,
a soft goodbye
Beneath that wild and endless sky
Your shadow slid behind the gate
While I stood still to hesitate
We thought we'd meet in days or two
But growing up,
pulled me from you When the bell rang,
we didn't know
How fast the winds of time would blow A wave,
a smile,
a soft goodbye
Beneath that wild and endless sky
Now photos fade
in corners worn
The pages yellowed,
gently torn
But I still hear
from far away
That bell we heard
on our last day When the bell rang,
we didn't know
How fast the winds of time would blow A wave,
a smile,
a soft goodbye
Beneath that wild
and endless sky
