Hallowed be the concrete halls

Where we hung construction paper dreams upon the walls

Stained with pictures that we drew

When staying in the lines was all we ever knew

When it was

​

Elementary, elementary

It was all so simple then

Elementary, elementary

It takes me back to when

Your journey starts, your future's here

The time has come to face your fears

Elementary, elementary

My dear

Takes a village so they say

And every leaf on every branch along the way

To make you who you're meant to be

And pave the road that you will one day travel free

For now it's

Elementary, elementary

It was all so simple then

Elementary, elementary

It takes me back to when

Your journey starts, your future's here

The time has come to face your fears

Elementary, elementary

My dear

With each and every passing day

The past it slips further away

And memories begin to fade

But for now don't be afraid

For now don't be afraid

For it's

Elementary, elementary

It was all so simple then

Elementary, elementary

It takes me back to when

Your journey starts, your future's here

The time has come to face your fears

Elementary, elementary

My dear

Your journey starts, your future's here

The time has come to face your fears

Elementary, elementary

My dear
