Stephen Sondheim
The Hills of Tomorrow
[OLDER FRANK, spoken]
And so, as valedictorian of the Class of 1955, I choose now to acknowledge the debt I owe all of you. 

[OLDER & YOUNGER FRANK, spoken]
And most important the debt I owe my generously talented friend and classmate Charles Kringas...

[YOUNGER FRANK, spoken]
...With whom I wrote the commencement song you are about to hear. My final thought is a simple but mighty thought. It is the obligation we have been given. It is to not turn out the same. It is to grow, to accomplish, to change the world. 

[STUDENTS]
Behold the hills of tomorrow!
Behold the limitless sky!
Fling wide the gates
To a world that waits!
As our journey starts
Behold! Our hearts
Are high!

Beyond the hills of tomorrow
Are skies more beautiful still!
Behold! Begin!
There are worlds to win!
May we come to trust
The dreams we must
Fulfill!
