    I cried. I am a senior this year and it is so sad that it has had to end like this. To my fellow seniors, we are in this together. My hearts go out to all of you. We have worked so hard for our moment to be snatched from us. This song is amazing.

      My son is a 2020 senior ... and it's rough for them. Prom, graduation, and college visits ... all of these were denied to them. He can't hang out with his friends (hasn't seen them in person in over 2 months). It is surreal for the kids and they know that they've missed out on a lot. My son was actually born just a handful of days after 9/11. In our state, the cut off is the end of September. This song is amazing.

    March the 13th, 2020, 3:25 PM. They had just cancelled our musical Mamma Mia! Which we had worked SO hard on since November of 2019. Right before I walked out the door, I looked at one of my best friends and said "See you Monday", About an hour later we got a Call from Our School Supervisor saying school was cancelled, Monday never happened

    • @TheEnchantedOak
      @TheEnchantedOak Před 4 lety +4

      I'm sorry that you never got to do the musical. The same thing happened for me but with my last choir festival which was also supposed to be on the 16th and we all rehearsed the songs on Friday and were really excited for Monday. Then later that day we got a message from the choir teacher saying our festival was canceled :(

No graduation, but they and many friends kids worked hard, taking classes online, having their mom help with “homeschooling” because of the pandemic. Congratulations Class of 2020, you are unique. Sorry you can’t have the graduation you all deserve. If you could do this, you can do anything!!! I wish the best for you all. Blessings to all!

    Poor kids. Knowing they are being drafted and going to fight for our country. Many of them will never see their families again. Sure their names will be memorialized on a wall but that is no substitute for their lost chance at life. Never getting to become a parent, never growing old with their spouse, never even getting the chance to really live their lives. Hug your senior tonight becuase you dont know how long until Uncle Sam takes them from you and sends them to a place from where they never return. The class of 2020 has suffered like no other and we have to remind them of how special they are because they are being forced to fight this war. I cant think of anything more tragic that could happen to a group of seniors in high school. Class of 2020... the lost senior class. Rest in peace, your bravery in this time will never be forgotten.

There are so many unknowns with this pandemic and life hasn't been fair to anyone. I really hope we see the end of the virus within the next year.

    Lyrics of to the class of 2020
    For 18 years we've watched you grow as proud as we can be Crawling,Walking,123 and all your ABC's throught the awkward years and intense debates to a young adult became now you faced with a pandemic that none of us have faced.
    To the class of 2020 our hearts go out to you we cant begin to even know the heartache you've been through.You've run the race you've finished strong even though it may not seem so raise your heads and tip your caps and go and chase your dreams.
    Were all in this together I've heard so many times
    I know it may not seem that way but its more than just a line we've got your back were on your side hang in there will get through and when this all is over,you'll get your payment due
    To the class of 2020 our hearts go out to you we cant begin to even know the heartache you've been through you've run the race you've finished strong even though it.may not seem so raise your heads and tip your caps and go and chase your dreams
    One things sure and one things right not another class compares oh class.of 2020 oh class of 2029 oh class of 2020.... Go and chase your dreams

    March 13, 2020 2:30 pm I got an email saying school is closed for the rest of the year. We were so close to winning BOTC
    I can't believe this happened to us since we were so close to graduating. I never got a chance to go high school dances, Senior prom was the one dance I can go to. That was a bust. At least I got to see everyone before school ended.

    Is there any way to get the soundtrack of this? We would like for a parent to sing this at the kid's graduation?

    Can you forward the music sheet for guitar?. My son plays guitar and is part of the Class of 2020. Thank you for such a beautiful song and so appropriate to remember that the Class of 2020 will not have the life experiences of their last months of high school as they try to survive this pandemic.

      We don't have any sheet music as my pianist just creates all of this in his head and plays by ear, but I do have an MP3 of just the piano music I can share with you that may help him pick up the chords. Go to my Facebook page and send me a private message there and I can send you the file: facebook.com/ryanstockhamusic/
