FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

I was recently going through an old box of CD-Rs, DVD-Rs and Zip drives and found a few old projects from the golden age of new media. Here's one. 

This was the first song I wrote, a soundtrack for Bryan Green's animation, First Day of School, created in 2001. He animated in Adobe Flash and output to video. We later added the song and character voices.

First Day of School

I don't want to go to school on a school bus
Momma please don't make me leave.
Will the kids say, "Hi" when I sit down?
Or bless you when I sneeze?

It's a beautiful day.
As we drive away
I can see my dad wave,
"Goodbye, goodbye son.
You better come back a man."

Do birds ride on a school bus
On their way off to school.
Do they raise their wing when they're called on?
Or dare to break the rules?

It's a beautiful day.
As we drive away
I can see myself wave,
"Goodbye, goodbye school,
as I fly right on top of you."

It's a different view
when you see the things that they do to you.
I can see my house
from here.

It's a beautiful day.
As we drive away
I can see my dad wave,
"Goodbye, goodbye son.
You better come back a man."
