11. The Next Stage
Dan DiMonte

I’m surrounded, I mean absolutely stifled
By those stiffs in their caps and gowns
This polyester sea is overpowering me
And I feel like I’ll surely drown

The stranger sitting next me had a look on his face that said,
“It’s time to leave this place”
Then he turned my way and this is what he said to me
He said,

Hey man I hope you’ve got a plan
‘Cause I left mine hanging on a lecture hall seat
Who knows what we’ll say or the music we’ll play
Or the crazy people we’re gonna meet
I say if you’ve got the wheels and I’ve got the time
Then it’s time to step onto the next stage of our lives

When I’m onstage it’s unlike any other feeling
I’m manic, yet euphoric at the same time
I hope you know what you want out of your life
‘Cause I know what I wanna do with mine

Oh I got my diploma and I got congratulations
And took all the handshakes
To what degree does this little piece of paper prove
That I’ve got what it takes?
Suddenly I notice the polyester sea has parted in front of me
Me and that stranger, we going for a ride

Hey man I hope you’ve got a plan
‘Cause I left mine hanging on a lecture hall seat
Who knows what we’ll say or the music we’ll play
Or the crazy people we’re gonna meet
I say if you’ve got the wheels and I’ve got the time
Then it’s time oh it’s time, to step the next stage in our
Lives, lives, step onto the next stage of our
Lives, lives, step onto the next stage
I say if you’ve got the wheels and I’ve got the time
Then it’s time to step onto the next stage of our lives
