A GATHERING OF PEERS

We are all gathered here
  to celebrate
Something special:
   the night we all graduate

It’s more than a parchment,
  that we stand to receive
It’s something from within,
   it’s the words "I believe"

I believe I’ve come far
  and I still have a road ahead
I believe I can make it
   because in me I have led

The skill I’ve been taught
  in receiving this here diploma
Allows me to stand amongst anyone
   whether from La Jolla or Pt Loma

Being surrounded tonight by
  our loved ones, friend is a high
But you haven’t seen anything yet,
   watch us soar, watch us fly
