    Graduation song for the class of 2000 at Verde Valley School
    CD: Verde Valley School 2000-2001 Music Compilation
    Credits: Juan Holladay

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was recorded at Verde Valley School during a rushed schedule. It had to be done in one take--no time for rehearsal--hence the organic sound. I also had a slight cold, so that made singing in key a challenge. You can hear me go out of key in a few spots on the recording. But, I did what I could and the result is very decent.

    Lyrics
    Well you're climbing up ladders
    And you're falling down chutes
    And you're learning what matters
    While you're growing out of your shoes

    And you're jumping over the moon
    And you're running away with the spoon
    And you're nursery rhymes will all end
    Happily ever after so soon

    So welcome
    to the first day
    Of the rest of your life
    Don't think twice
    To choose the right

    (interlude)

    Well you're singing a song of courage
    And you're singing a song of hope
    And you're treading through the water
    To keep your body afloat

    In this sea of indecision
    In this world of constant change
    Pray so that your
    Faith will stay the same*

    And welcome
    To the first day
    Of the rest of your life
    Don't think twice
    To choose the right

    Fall down--get up . . .
    Get up . . .

    *[I have made a change to the second verse since this recording was made:
    "In this sea of indecision/ In this world of constant change/ Pray your faith in grace
    Will remain"]
