Ring the Bell, Ring It Loud

Lyrics
Last day of school, the hallway's loud The sun is spilling in Lockers swinging open Let the freedom days begin Mrs. Reyes is wiping the board With a smile in her eyes Every little one who passed her door Is growing up so wise Ring the bell, ring it loud Send the whole school running out Hands up high, feet on the ground Summer is coming into town Ring the bell, ring it loud Clap your hands and shout it out We made it through, we made it through Ring the bell for me and you Take the posters off the wall Fold your sleeves up tall Take the memories in your pockets And leave the worries in the hall The bus is idling at the curb The driver's tapping the wheel Everybody's singing And you know exactly how we feel Ring the bell, ring it loud Send the whole school running out Hands up high, feet on the ground Summer is coming into town Ring the bell, ring it loud Clap your hands and shout it out We made it through, we made it through Ring the bell for me and you Look back once at the door Then look up at the sky Everything we learned in there Is going to help us fly Ring the bell, ring it loud Send the whole school running out Hands up high, feet on the ground Summer is coming into town Ring the bell, ring it loud Clap your hands and shout it out We made it through, we made it through Ring the bell for me and you Ring it loud, ring it loud Summer is coming into town
