[Verse 1]
New shirt
Stiff collar
Name tag shining
Hands still sweat
Gate man nods
“You’re welcome”
My heart marching like a cadet
Dorm bell ringing loudly
Trunk on my head
Dust in my shoes
Senior shout
“Form one
Hurry!”
I just smile
What else to do
[Chorus]
First day at Osei Tutu
Sky so wide
Dreams brand new
I don’t know the paths
I don’t know the rules
But this ground feels made for me too
First day at Osei Tutu
Scared and proud in brown and blue
If I lose my way in these crowded halls
I’ll still find my future here with you (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Dining hall
Long tables
New friends laughing over bread
Twist my tongue on their hometown names
We trade jokes instead of dread
Classroom chalk dust floating
Teacher writes
I try to keep pace
Hear my name in morning roll call
Like they carved it in this place
[Chorus]
First day at Osei Tutu
Sky so wide
Dreams brand new
I don’t know the paths
I don’t know the rules
But this ground feels made for me too
First day at Osei Tutu
Scared and proud in brown and blue
If I lose my way in these crowded halls
I’ll still find my future here with you
[Bridge]
Lights out in the dorm block
Whispers running bed to bed (shh)
I’m far from home but somehow
It feels like home instead
[Chorus]
First day at Osei Tutu
Sky so wide
Dreams brand new
I don’t know the paths
I don’t know the rules
But this ground feels made for me too
First day at Osei Tutu
Scared and proud in brown and blue
If tomorrow comes a little less strange
Then I know I’m growing into you
