I know the time
to go back to school is getting closer
By the way the air around me feels
By the way the morning sounds
By the way the sunlight
shines in the afternoon

I know the time
to go back to school is getting closer
because it takes more effort
to get up in the morning
Because my bedroom is filled
with school supplies
Because everyone goes to sleep
alittle earlier

I know the time
to go back to school is getting closer
because there is a feeling deep inside me
sad that the summer must end
But happy and excited
looking forward to something new
