We walk the same carpet
You don't walk on gold
But you walk with a stride
That is conceded and bold

You hold yourself above
Us "peasants," so young
Up on the wall
Where your certificate has been hung

You've got a degree
We've just been burned
We are still learning
And you've already learned.

But there's still something
That we have and you don't
We've got time to learn
Something that you won't

We can learn to respect.
Our elders and peers
most importantly
Everyone we meet through our years.
Age is but a number
And there's no "above 18" in RESPECT
