The Life of a Student

Ring in, Ring out
The students were running all about
Ring in, Ring out
They’re making their way without a doubt

Children are laughing through the halls
While teachers are teaching within the walls
All is good throughout the school
While no one dares to be a fool

Ring in, Ring out
Their next class now will begin
Ring in, Ring out
Everyone’s quiet as they listen in

Papers and pens are in their hands
Before the teacher makes some quick demands
And soon enough the tests are out
But with all their knowledge there's no need to freak out

Ring in, Ring out
The stress has been beat
Ring in, Ring out
Everyone gathers to eat

As lunch starts the kids all cheer
The tables are full as they get in near
They’re all conversing and having fun
What could be better when the work's all done

Ring in, Ring out
Much too swiftly it’s time for more learning
Ring in, Ring out
Students go back as their minds start turning

The final class is now in session
No one can wait for the end of the lesson
But they put in the work to get it done
Even in class friends still make it fun

Ring in, Ring out
Just as quickly as it begun
Ring in, Ring out
The day is now done
