DEDICATED TO THE GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER ELEMENTARY
PROMOTION CLASS OF 2005
VERSE 1 D G C F
The first time I held you in my arms,
Quite enamored by your babyish charms.
Don’t know why those times didn’t last,
I didn’t realize time slips by so fast.
I remember holding your hand,
The first time we played in the sand.
Your first step onto the bus,
The way you simply gave me your trust.
CHORUS Bb C D C
And I will…
Lift you up,
Give you strength.
In your choices you have my faith.
But if you should,
Make mistakes,
We’ve a bond that will never break.
VERSE 2
Your first report card, all smiles.
The first time you ran a mile.
Your first friends and your first fights.
How you learned wrong from right.
And now as time rolls on,
The child I knew is gone.
Young men and women stand here,
Hold them close, keep them near.
CHORUS REPEAT 2x
