For the First Time in Forever
For the first time in forever
You find you are alone
For the first time in forever
You find your world has changed
You thought you were ready
You thought it a choice
The independence you craved
You thought you would rejoice
But for the first time in forever
(Or, maybe, just today)
You find that choice you really did crave
Was a challenge all the same.
For the first time in forever
You have to make new friends
And for the first time in forever
You’re struggling to stay afloat
It turns out they weren’t lying when they said college wasn’t a joke
But, now, for the first time in forever
Things will never be the same
You’ve invested in your future
And you’re working toward a change
The ups and the downs are all a part of the game
One day you’ll be better off just the same
The challenge is finding that maybe you’re not alone
Just for the first time in forever you’ve really found your home
You found a passion for something greater
And one day you’ll change the world
For now it’s just a degree
But wait until they see
Just how far you’ve come.
