Sipping on moonlight
Standing like a giant
Screaming on top the Everest
So many places where we could be
So many possibilities
We are reckless
We are ambitious
We are young
Living in dreams
Dreaming in reality
Indulging in wild fantasies
Walking down the aisles
Talking about our deepest desires
It’s the crossroad of our lives
It’s the time when we take off
It’s the place where we say goodbye
Some stayed behind
Some are oceans away
Some are still next door
Four years are long
Four years are short
Four years are just enough
Where are your dreams
What are your desires
Who are you now
