I have something I want you to hear
This place is not something to fear
I might look imposing, but that’s just my clothing
Underneath, I'm really quite bare
I’ve stood here for many a year
I’ve seen laughter and quite a few tears
The faces have changed, but the essence remains
Many lifetimes have sat in these chairs
Some say I’m the ultimate test
That I accept only the best
But that’s quite untrue, I promise you
Struggling is part of the quest
Every year without fail
The learned and the learning share tales
Memories they'll not have again
Stories that never grow stale
Soon, you will understand
I'm not a difficult man
But time flies so fast, the present's soon past
The hourglass is shifting its sand
So goodbye’s just hello
More flood in as most go
The old bid the new ones adieu
It’s an endless, unstoppable flow
So thanks for your time
It was truly sublime
The future’s unknown and quite dark
You’ll soon see I...was a walk in the park
