[Verse 1]
The dust motes dance in the last light of day
Sun paints the window pane
A memory in gold
Another year
Another turning page
Stories whispered
Brave and bold
[Chorus]
Oh
The last bell rings
A final
Soft goodbye
Oh
The last bell rings
Beneath a fading sky
Oh
The last bell rings
And tears might start to fall
Oh
The last bell rings
For one and for all
[Verse 2]
Remember the chalk dust
The scraped knees
The shared dreams
Little notes passed
Beneath the teacher's gaze
Worlds built in whispers
Or so it often seems
Lost now in the coming haze
[Chorus]
Oh
The last bell rings
A final
Soft goodbye
Oh
The last bell rings
Beneath a fading sky
Oh
The last bell rings
And tears might start to fall
Oh
The last bell rings
For one and for all
[Bridge]
Where do we go
When the gates finally close?
The path ahead
A winding
Unknown road
Carry the laughter
The thorns and the rose
A brand new journey
A brand new load
