This is a song, I sing for you.

It's to say how much I'll miss you.

This is the last chance I'll have to say goodbye...

 

We've all had fun, these last few months,

We've shared some laughs, we've had some good times,

But the time has finally come to say goodbye...

 

We've seen Rome and we've seen Greece,

We've seen Egypt and the Middle East.

"It was fine, it was good", but now it's over...

 

We flew East, into the night,

We saw India in the morning light.

Time went fast, but now it's past, and now we've got to travel on...

 

Nepal was cold, Hong Kong is bright,

Our money's gone, but still I feel alright.

Another plane, another place, another story to be told.

 

We move on, Taiwan is here.

We all have memories that we hold so dear.

Christmas came, time went well, and now the Group is finally one...

 

Amid my friends, I see the sun,

We spent time, yet things were left undone.

Another flight, East we flew, another country has begun.

 

Japan is here, a New Year came,

And yet the feelings I have still remain.

Where have we been?  Where will we go?  And yet the questions still the same...

 

How can we live with thoughts we know,

When it's homeward bound that we must go.

We've seen life, that's less than ours, but then who are we to say?

 

Oh we are young, and life is new.

The challenge here has left us much to do.

Until our time, with what I have, and what I've seen these past few months...

 

Now the times have past,

But the memories, they will always last.

I met you, and you met me, and now it's time to carry on...
