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
