It's that time of year,
we must ready our weapons,
we must ready our minds.
Our thoughts below a higher mind.
Us, young and meek, learning.

We attend school with witty remarks and sociable drama.
Summer, a quick memory with stories that will live on.
We reboot our mind to a new environment.
Education just a marker mark on the board.
Testing, the ultimate challenge of memory.

Off we step to the future.
Once we leave that stage our path is set.
That podium, tall and wise, full of 13 years
Of those 13 years,
what will you remember?
