Graduation Song - You've Been a Part of Me
You’ve been a part of me
My co - teacher requested me to write the lyrics for our graduation ceremonies. So this is the song. I hope I'm doing justice to the life and struggles of the students.
I have been a fledgling, so young so naïve
In pursuit of knowledge that I want to achieve
Friendship was formed along the process
Loyalty and faithfulness I want to possess
Those hard lessons in life that make me scratch my head
I find so cumbersome that I refuse to tread
Experiments that show us the way
Singe my hair I want to say
Chorus
You’ve been a part of me
You’ve stayed within me
You permeate my whole being
With the examples you want me to see
Struggle is an avid companion, my everyday tool
Perseverance pushes me, makes me strong and whole
Values are my beacon, the air I breathe
That I don’t ever want to reckon with
Inching my way, aiming for the top
Every time I fall, I want to stop
But there you are, nudging me to move on
Each step I miss, you replace it with passion
Chorus
You’ve been a part of me
You’ve stayed within me
You permeate my whole being
With the examples you want me to see
Reaching for the summit is my ultimate dream
You’re always here, like a gold old team
Now I’m on the threshold, we’re about to part ways
I refuse to go, I just want to stay
But moving on is an integral part of being alive
This has been the reason why I survive
Bidding adieu is the hardest thing for me to do
Rest assured those memories I’ll always keep, I won’t let go…
Chorus
You’ve been a part of me
You’ve stayed within me
You permeate my whole being
With the examples you want me to see
The Journey

Wow Raci,
Amazing work/creation.
You have penned down the emotions of a "today's" student as well. With so much competition, these poor children are constantly under scrutiny.
As i said it once...saying it again...your students are lucky to have you!!
voted up as awesome/beautiful.
what a beautiful song you've written; lucky students to have this presented to them on their graduation!
I love The Journey--I've never heard it before and it gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing this. I will have to get myself a copy of this very inspirational song. I voted this hub up and across. :)
Raci, You are the poem and you are the poet. You are the experience and you are the experiment. You are the song and you are the singer. I mean to say that your song coupled with your endearing presence gives meaning to the Hub Pages and much solace to at least one hubber!! How lovely you write! Take care,
MAKUSR
