JERUSHA:
Why does it feel like I'm flying?
Someone wake me at last,
For I'm right on the edge of the wide wide world.
As I look at so many faces,
In a place I never dreamed I would be,
There is one empty chair that I simply can't bear to see.
And I'm fighting back the tears.
Yes, I'm fighting back the tears
On graduation day.
Still, this is rather amazing.
Suma Kum Lauda and all,
But it won't mean a thing,
If everyone's legs are small.
And I'm fighting back the tears.
Yes, I'm fighting back the tears
On graduation day.
JERVIS:
I'm here, Jerusha.
I'm standing in front of you now.
I'm here, Jerusha.
I just look like a person you know.
I'm here, Jerusha.
I'm here, Jerusha,
And I'm fighting back the tears,
Yes, I'm fighting back the tears
On graduation day.
JERUSHA: (Together with Jervis)
Well this is your loss Mr. Clothes pole
JERVIS:
Well here I am
JERUSHA:
Mr. Girl Hater, Dear Mr. Smith.
JERVIS:
Right before your eyes.
JERUSHA:
Or whatever you're called,
You did not show.
JERVIS:
I'm right here.
JERUSHA:
You are not here and now I'm...
Fighting back the tears
JERVIS:
Fighting back the tears
JERUSHA:
Breaking through my fears,
For I will stand out through the crowd
