Look at You Now
For every late night that got you here
Press play to hear this song.
Why this song was made
This graduation song celebrates a student who completed her degree while working evening shifts. Her friends make it to recognise the unseen effort behind the photograph in a cap and gown.
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1]
There were notes beside the till and books upon the late-night train,
A borrowed charger, cold leftovers, questions scribbled out again.
You called me from the bus stop saying maybe this was wrong,
Then got up in the morning and kept bringing yourself along.
[Chorus]
Look at you now, let us make a little noise,
For the days you kept going without finding your voice.
Hands up; take this moment; let the happy tears come down,
We know what it took; we're so proud of you now.
[Verse 2]
Your mum is taking photographs of absolutely every stair,
Your friends are waving, cheering from the stair.
The name they read is yours; you walk across that little stage,
With a thousand unseen mornings turning over on the page.
[Bridge]
You don't need every answer to what happens after this,
Today can just be dinner, silly dancing, one big wish.
Let tomorrow have its questions; let tonight belong to you,
And all the ordinary stubborn things you found a way to do.
[Chorus]
Look at you now, let us make a little noise,
For the days you kept going without finding your voice.
Hands up; take this moment; let the happy tears come down,
We know what it took; we're so proud of you now.
