An End of the Year Address for Our Form Fives.

They said that all that glittered was not always gold And even your star-struck eyes couldn't be sold for much of a profit; we were worth a little bit too much even if half of us couldn't be bothered to give a piece of the soul to the great big unknown so you danced to the music and stayed within your zone but your hips didn't quite move and your behind didn't quite shake Exam season had you thinking that the last turn-up was a mistake So you turn't down for everything to become a Top Achiever and gave your soul to Cambridge because it's clear that you're a dreamer And that's why your eyes became so suddenly star struck And how suddenly a past paper was worth a little bit too much But it was worth it because Even if one year of your life passed you by... Even if one year of your life passed you by... Even if one year of your life passed you by.... ...You still wrote your candidate number in sneakers looking fly. So even though not all of us can become an A* That doesn't mean that not all of us in life cannot go far As written in the constellations are the particles of our star-dust the whole is more than the sum of its parts and so are you my little star-struck former IGCSE candidate. See? You really were able to manage it.
