lyrics

She turned heads cycling through university
She sat down and rummaged for her flask of tea.
I will not forget the words she said to me.
“The secret to staying young is to have a dream.”

She told me the secret to staying young,
You must have a dream.
When you lose your dream, you wake up old,
Whatever age you seem.

She told me all her life she dreamed of being here,
Later that night, we went out and she drank cheap beer.
She danced on the table and received a cheer.
“Life’s too short, you have to live a lot, my dear.”

All she ever wanted was to graduate,
But she could never afford the tuition rate.
She has top attendance and she’s never late.
“The things I’ve learnt and friends I’ve made were worth the wait”

When she finally wore her academic robes,
That was the last day that she would ever know.
She got an award for her first class degree.
Rosa died happily at eighty three.

Rosa, please rest in peace,
You finished your degree.
Thank you for teaching me,
What life is meant to be.
