Each sweat that’s poured, each effort shed
Through blaring heat or midnight’s dread
Each tick of clock with every block
And tiredness seeped to sleepless child
The age is young but the mind is old
Dreaming to achieve and certificates to hold
With every penny spent an worn shoes and clothes
Preserving to deliver a key to futures mold
Driven by delight to achieve a single sight
Goaling to thrive to risk each moment time
When the time is gold, arrive on time when told
Left shackles of trouble at home
Trough the worst times, through the storm
One day we’ll stand on the big dome
With thundering applauses, warm hugs and smiles
The story how to receive the diploma is alive
