[Verse] After school hours I see the sunlight dim Chalk dust lingers As I clean up again [Verse 2] Papers scattered Lessons in my head Voices echo From things the kids said [Chorus] After the bell rings The silence sings I’m here alone Working in the quiet zone [Verse 3] Teacher's shadow Stretching cross the floor Grading late nights Giving a little more [Bridge] Lights are low In this empty hall Carrying the weight Of it all [Chorus] After the bell rings The silence sings I’m here alone Working in the quiet zone
