Your first day of kindergarten starts soon
We have a lot to teach you, just look at our wounds
Your dad and I know whats its like
We know it's scary but you'll be alright

You're gonna make so many friends
They're all gonna care about you
You're gonna have fun and play your days away
Then you'll come home and we'll be fine

Nobody's gonna make fun of you
And nobody will ever hurt you
If something goes wrong you can talk to a teacher
Or better yet, wait till sunday and ask a preacher

We're your parents of course we'll help you with the homework
Dad couldn't come home today he got stuck at work
No I wasn't crying, just remember what I've told
You can sleep in my bed if you ever get cold

They told me

When high school starts just be yourself
You don't gotta worry about your mental health
People will accept you for who you are
There's enough room in space to shine for every star

The classes you pick do matter
For others you should always bend just don't shatter
You're gonna need a letter of recommendation
And You gotta stay in contact during summer vacation

You don't have to party or even socialize
One exaggerated phrase is time flies
If you need to talk just know I'll always be here
What? No, none of us can see your fear

When you look back you'll find
Smiles cracking in your mind
What you'd give to go to the back of the line
Just to pass them all one more time

Everyone lied
