Note: C’rus has made it to graduation, at last. Based on Fire and Rain by James Taylor.

When I saw your eyes that morning I became your own,
But I never knew just what it was that meant.
I knew we'd be a team, and we'd never be alone.
It's so hard to believe I'm where your heart went.

There've been Hatchings and there's been Thread,
There've been Flaming Drills we thought would never end,
There've been injuries that never seemed to mend,
But I knew you'd always be there, my friend.

Now all tasks we have to finish, every firestone sack we fill,
Every single deadly fall we have to fly,
Just brings us closer, but explain no one will.
How can you say without knowing why?

There've been Hatchings and there's been Thread,
There've been Flaming Drills we thought would never end,
There've been injuries that never seem to mend,
But I knew you'd always be there, my friend.

With the graduation we earned our station among the fighting wings.
The drills we learned required skills we never knew we had.
Flying on a dragon, joining in the braggin', we're done with being weyrlings.
Now fighters and dragonriders... why are we feeling sad?

There've been Hatchings and there's been Thread,
There've been Flaming Drills we thought would never end,
There've been injuries that never seem to mend,
But I knew you'd always be there, my friend.
