Lyrics
Wake up early, got the gown on the door Shoes shined up like they never did before Whole family in the stands with the signs Auntie brought a horn and she's right on time Name in the program, I read it twice Four years of grinding, now it's paradise Nerves in my stomach but my feet know the way Big day, big day, hip hip hooray Line up, line up, wait for the call Stand up straight, I'm about to ball Walk the stage, hear my name Nothing in this life is gonna be the same Walk the stage, hear them cheer All the hard work finally here Hands up, hands up, throw the cap Everybody sing it, we don't look back Walk the stage, hear my name Walk the stage, hear my name Late nights cramming with the energy drinks Group chat saved me when I couldn't think Best friend next to me, we made it through Shared the notes and the pizza too Teacher shook my hand and said good job I tried not to cry, nearly started to sob Phone cameras flashing like a city at night Confetti falling in the golden light Line up, line up, wait for the call Stand up straight, I'm about to ball Walk the stage, hear my name Nothing in this life is gonna be the same Walk the stage, hear them cheer All the hard work finally here Hands up, hands up, throw the cap Everybody sing it, we don't look back Walk the stage, hear my name Walk the stage, hear my name Hold it, hold it, one more breath Look at everyone who got me past the rest Mama, Papa, this one's for you Every single thing that you pull through Walk the stage, hear my name Nothing in this life is gonna be the same Walk the stage, hear them cheer All the hard work finally here Hands up, hands up, throw the cap Everybody sing it, we don't look back Walk the stage, hear my name Walk the stage, hear my name
