5th Grade Promotion Songs

We picked up sand from the playground

And put it in an hourglass

Now it’s gone from the top to the bottom,

But we knew elementary school couldn’t last

As long as Mom and Dad wanted it to

The sun is always rising on a sky so blue, it seems

When just over the horizon are your dreams

But I won’t be going by myself; I’ll have my family

And if I feel a little lost, they’ll be there for me

I can’t wait to get started

I can’t wait to be on my way

Others have gone before me

I’ve waited for years for this day to come.

There’s a smile in everything that I say.

The sun is always rising on a sky so blue, it seems

When just over the horizon are your dreams

But I won’t be going by myself; I’ll have my family

And if I feel a little lost, they’ll be there for me

We picked up sand from the playground

And put it in an hourglass

Now it’s gone from the top to the bottom,

But we knew elementary school couldn’t last

But hope does. And smiles do. And dreams do.

So I hope you come along with me

Help me find my dreams

‘Cause I’m not going alone

I’m with a team

And the sun is always rising.

And the sun is always rising.
