Lyrics Sample 

Time has come to move along,

Learn to sing a different song.

There’s different places, different faces;

Time to move along.

People come, people go,

Say goodbye, say hello,

There’s different places, different faces;

Time, time to move along.

I gotta say, there’s something cool,

Moving to a brand new school.

More to learn and more to do,

More to challenge me and you.

At times although it may be tough,

And the changes may be rough,

We have friends to pull us through,

Do the best that we can do.

Time has come to move along... (etc.)
