raincamp - principal Lyrics

I walk these halls with my head in my hands,
How do I make these kids understand,
And how do I make these teachers believe in me?
I do my best to teach education,
But no one's tuning in to my station,
Is anyone out there listening?

But through the noise, I see the spark,
In every kid, there's light in the dark,
It's tough, but I'm still standing tall.
I know this work will pay off soon,
Like flowers blossoming in June,
We'll rise together and answer the call.

'Cause I'm a principal,
And I'm your pal,
And I won't sacrifice my principles,
To teach the things you need to know,
I'm only here to help you grow.

The paperwork's a mile high,
Late-night emails, oh my, oh my,
But I'll still greet you with a smile each day.
From budget cuts to broken rules,
Managing lunch lines, and fixing tools,
But I'll keep cheering you along the way.

'Cause I'm a principal,
And I'm your pal,
And I won't sacrifice my principles,
To teach the things you need to know,
I'm only here to help you grow.

When the tests come around and the pressure's on,
I'll be your guide, stay strong 'til dawn,
We're all in this together, side by side.
Through every stumble, every fall,
We'll rise up higher, we'll stand tall,
And make this school a place of pride.

Yes, I'm a principal,
And I'm your pal,
No, I won't sacrifice my principles,
To teach the things you need to know,
I'm only here to help you grow.

So when the bell rings at the end of the day,
Know I'll be there, come what may,
Together we'll make this school a brighter place,
With every smile and every face.
