Through the Years

(click on the black spot to hear the song)

I can't remember when you weren't there When you didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been to everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years Through all the good and bad I know how much we've had I've always been so glad to be with you Through the years ...?

The Graduation song of the Pioneers:

Time After Time

Out back when time was still our own We lingered long until we've known That time's a little out of hand And we still have some test to stand.

The mighty wind may come and go But we're strong enough to stand it's blow Against all odds we will not rest With all our might we'll give our best.

chorus: In God we trust He is our strength The journey's long just count the length But we will never tire you see Cause He is there for you and me We'll share the time through thick and thin And in the end we'll always win.

Just look at how our future stands In the midst of all these fertile lands But now we have to part dear friend And journey on until life's end.

But don't you worry don't feel sad 'Cause parting ways won't be that bad When you will know that as we part You'll find yourself right in my heart.

coda: But we will never tire you see Cause He is there for you and me.

- composed by: Lyann

We'll Never Say Goodbye

We've shared the days of laughter We shared the nights of sorrow And in the morning after We face a bright tomorrow Side by side we're always there Spirits flying higher Long as I can hold your hand We'll never say goodbye.

We walk the halls of learning And serve with our tradition The flame of truth is burning To cloud upon our vision Look at how the future gleams Bold against the sky Long as I can share your dreams We'll never say goodbye.

There's little to be sure of But we would last forever For know we know the pure love We feel when we're together Then if someday we should fall We will not say die Long as you are in my heart We'll never say goodbye.

Long as you are in my heart We'll never say goodbye.
