Students Show “How Far We’ll Go” in Graduation Song

This past 2019-20 school year, our students and teachers displayed their strength and resiliency to learn and educate despite major challenges. We celebrate their accomplishments and incredible spirit by sharing a heartwarming story of how students from El Dorado Elementary School united in one voice through writing lyrics to their very own graduation song, How Far We’ll Go. ETM-LA Music Teacher Westley Steele discussed their inspiration and process with creating their own lyrics to the popular song “How Far I’ll Go” from Disney’s Moana: “The students brainstormed ideas about when they were in kindergarten, playing outside, hanging out with friends, being in the lunchroom, and science projects they did.” The lyrics and soundtrack helped to commemorate the students’ time at El Dorado.  Congratulations to all of our 2020 graduates!

 

 

 

How Far We’ll Go 

Based on Disney Moana Theme “How Far I’ll Go”
Song Lyrics Written by the El Dorado Elementary School Class of 2020

Verse 1

We’ve been 

students at El Dorado 

long as we can remember

Time is really flying by

 

We wish

 We could be here forever

But we need to go farther

It’s time for us to fly

 

Every word we write,

Every problem we solve,

Every book we read

Every road leads back

 

To the place we know

Where we learned it from

Thanks for guiding us

 

Chorus/Hook

 

See the years we have spent at this school

have taught us

All we know, but it’s time to go

If we keep reading, writing, learning, and striving

To meet our goals, if we work hard there’s no telling how far we’ll go

 

Verse 2

We know

Everybody at this school

Works so hard to help us 

El Dorado’s the place to be

 

We know

Everybody at this school

Wants for us to succeed

El Dorado’s the school for me

 

Every word we write,

Every problem we solve,

Every book we read

Every road leads back

To the place we know

Where we learned it from

Thanks for guiding us

 

Chorus/Hook

See the years we have spent at this school

have taught us

All we know, but it’s time to go

If we keep reading, writing, learning, and striving

To meet our goals, we’ll achieve our goals and be just fine

 

See the years we have spent at this school

have taught us

All we know, but it’s time to go

If we keep doing what El Dorado has taught us

Our teachers know, how far we’ll go
