Last Call

[spoken:]
It’s been long time coming, but we’ve made it this far
Others might not understand, but that’s alright, ’cause we know there’s more to it
This ain’t like anything else we’ve ever experienced, and frankly, I find that amazing
Now some could say that it’s a fad, that it’s a trend, that someday, it’ll all fade away
But I don’t believe that. In such a short period we’ve made bonds that will last lifetimes
And I’ll be damned if I allow myself to let go without a fight

This phenomenon is blind to age, gender, race and location
So even though we’ve reached the end, it’s not over yet
We’ll still have each other, and all the friendships, and all the laughs
And when it seems dark, we’ll all be there with outstretched hands
See, life’s a funny thing. It can present you with surprises around every corner
No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but we can hope that it brings us all a little bit closer

[sung:]
This is the last call; this is the final song
This is the last goodbye so give all that you can
Let me hear you now, singing out loud and proud
No more tears will fall, ’cause together we are strong

[spoken:]
We have the power of choice. We have the power to define our own future
We merely have to step up to the plate and take hold of what we care for
Not letting go of our dreams and wishes just because people tell us this all has a lifespan
We all came across this by chance, and I’d be surprised if anyone at the time
Would have been able to predict that it would become what it is today
It’s true, some things will slowly drift beyond the immediate
But as a whole, we’ve cultivated something that defies boundaries

[sung:]
This is the last call; this is the final song
This is the last goodbye, so give all that you can
Let me hear you now, singing out loud and proud
No more tears will fall, ’cause together we are strong

[spoken:]
Now I know I can’t speak for everyone, I can only express my own feelings and views
But I have a pretty good inclination that a lot of you are going down the same road as myself
Ten years, ten short years. If only we had begun at year one
Imagine where we might have been by now. But I digress
As a great man once said, ‘It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.’
We’re being given a fresh start. A new era is fast approaching
But this time around, we are the storytellers

[sung:]
This is the last call; this is the final song
This is the last goodbye, so give all that you can
Let me hear you now, singing out loud and proud
No more tears will fall, ’cause together we are strong
