Last Graduation
by Bryan Duncan

Album: The Light Years

You've been invited to remember the alumni
You check the calendar, electing to go
Let's buy a tie just to honor this reunion
I'll show the side of me I want them to know
When they say,

'Where have you been since the last graduation?
How have you changed the world you are in?
Is life a party or a sad revelation?
What do you do with the time of your life?'

You find it hard to aviod interrogation
You clear your throat to tell them a lie
Why should I deal with this corss-examination?
What does it matter what I do till I die?
Still it haunts you...

'Where have you been since the last graduation?
How have you changed the world you are in?
Is life a party or a sad revelation?
What do you do with the time in your life?'
What have you done with your life?

They voted you 'most likely to succeed in'
You were headed straight to the top
Where did the time go, what were the reasons?
When does this questioning stop?

What have you done with your life?
What have you done with your life?

Now you're invited to a final invocation
There'll be a time you're elected to go
You won't be able to cancel this appointment
You aren't at liberty to say yes or no
And you'll hear,

'Welcome tonight to the last graduation
How have you changed the world you were in?
My only Son is the hope of your salvation
What did you do with Him
In your life?'

And you'll hear,
'Welcome tonight to the last graduation
How have you changed the world you were in?
My only Son is the hope of your salvation
What did you do with Him
In your life?'

What have you done with your life?
Welcome tonight
To the last graduation
Welcome tonight
The last graduation
Welcome tonight
(The last)
The last graduation
To the last graduation
(The last)
