An Echo: On Graduation Day
Location
Child: Echo:
Why is it that they shed so many tears? Fears
I'm graduating with honors is that not ok? Hooray
How, oh how will I gain information? Education
What happened to the girl who lost her inspiration Impregnation
Then why do they fear me gaining knowledge? College
Tell me why do I suffer such a lost Cost
Do I rob a bank and just go No
Then who will make my dreams come true You
Who will find the cure for cancer? Answer
My answer is that it could be me See
But only, only if I had the money Oh Honey
We all deserve it at the very best Yes
Then why am I being put to this test Guess
Is it because I refuse to give up? Yup
Before I cross the stage I have something to say Say
What if "can't afford college" is all they'll say Pray
