lyrics

Our last year of high school, not what we'd expect
Not flawless and cheerful, but mournful instead
It pulled some together, pushed others away
It taught us to value each hour in each day

I still forget when I see all your friends
Together, I wonder why you're not with them
I still see your face passing by in the crowd
I hope for your voice when they open their mouth

If only you knew what a difference you've made
All the people you've touched, all the lives you have changed
I wish I could tell you how much I regret
Not knowing you better, but I'll never forget

If at ends there are beginnings
And darkness turns to light
And with death comes life eternal
Then spread your new wings and take flight
Above us watching over
Or by our side without a sight or sound
Our teenage guardian angel
Oh we hope we make you proud
