To the tune of "7 years old" by Lucas Graham, by Miss Marcakis
Once I was twelve years old, my teacher told me,
"Get your homework in on time or you’ll be sorry"
Once I was twelve years old
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
Checking insta to see if we’re in the latest picture
Made a business #div2cares to make that steady figure
Once I was twelve years old, my teacher told me,
“Keep passions in your life or you’ll be gloomy.”
Once I was twelve years old
I always had that dream, like my mama before me
So I started UBC, I started volunteering
Something about teaching kids just always seemed to cheer me
‘Cause all your drive and unique talents really inspire me
Once I was twelve years old, our stories got told
Throughout our lessons we became a family
Once I was twelve years old
I only see your goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I’ll help you when needed, your teacher forever
And even though I won’t be here next, I hope I’ll see you later
Once I was twelve years old, student news got told
I was writing about early man, Egypt, and Greece
Once I was twelve years old
Soon I'll be thirty years old, I will be so old
I've travelled around Surrey and I'm still roaming
Soon I'll be thirty years old
I'm still learning about life
Through lessons the children teach me
So we can dance to all my songs
And I can tell them stories
I taught them democracy
Science World taught us chemistry
Leading Sports Day stations on fleek
That last balloon really got me
Soon you'll be going to high school, you will have a lot of fun
Remember to study and eat a somewhat healthy lunch
It’ll make me so happy when I hear of your success
I wish you all could come and visit once or twice a month
Soon I’ll be going to high school, will I think it’s really hard?
Or will I make a lot of new friends who can support me?
Soon I’ll be going to high school
Once I was twelve years old, my teacher told me,
"Get your homework in on time or you’ll be sorry"
Once I was twelve years old
