Lyric discussion by rockboy52 

I always saw a double meaning in this tune - obviously it covers the movie theme of the students' admiration of their teacher who cared for and enlightened them to move forward in their lives - but I also think that it sounds like a girl saying farewell to her father (sir) as she goes on to the next chapter in her life whatever it may be - either way this song still never gets old for me
