Hold me close

[Verse] In a town where whispers turn to shouts People stand in line with hopes and doubts The future's wrapped in a paper slip Candidates boast with a confident grip [Verse 2] Promises painted on every wall In the heart of the city and the quiet hall Faces shine under the neon glow Truth's a shadow only time will show [Chorus] Ballot box dreams in the hands of the crowd Voices rise up clear and loud Spin that wheel and make a choice In this land we find our voice [Verse 3] Debates held under bright spotlight Truth or fiction in the dead of night Smiles that hide the deepest fear What's ahead unseen but near [Chorus] Ballot box dreams in the hands of the crowd Voices rise up clear and loud Spin that wheel and make a choice In this land we find our voice [Bridge] Promises are made with ease But reality's the toughest breeze Through the storm we find our way Shine a light to a brighter day

(Verse 1 - Tessa’s Perspective) In the quiet of my office, I see you every day, A storm of anger in your eyes, a heart that's lost its way. You came to me for healing, for a chance to find some peace, But somewhere in our sessions, my own heart found release. You’re broken and you’re hurting, but there’s so much more inside, A strength within your darkness, a love you try to hide. (Chorus) Oh, Alex, I see the man beneath the pain, The one who’s fighting hard through all the rain. You’re not just my patient, you’re the love I’ve come to know, And in this healing journey, I’ll never let you go. Oh, Alex, oh, Alex, together we’ll find the light, In the depths of your darkness, we’ll make it through the night. (Verse 2 - Alex’s Perspective) I’ve been angry for so long now, a fire I can’t control, But you’ve been there to guide me, to help me heal my soul. You see beyond my fury, you see the man I can be, And in your eyes, I’m finding the strength to set me free. I know it’s not professional, the way you make me feel, But in your arms, Tessa, I’m starting to heal. (Chorus) Oh, Tessa, you’re the calm within my storm, You hold me close, keep me safe and warm. You’re not just my therapist, you’re the love I’ve come to need, And in this healing journey, your love is my creed. Oh, Tessa, oh, Tessa, together we’ll find the light, In the depths of my darkness, we’ll make it through the night. (Bridge) I know we’re walking a thin line, But love doesn’t always follow the rules. In your touch, in your voice, I find the strength to choose. We’re healing together, breaking down these walls, In the midst of our battles, it’s your name I call. (Chorus - Both Perspectives) Oh, Alex, I see the man beneath the pain, The one who’s fighting hard through all the rain. Oh, Tessa, you’re the calm within my storm, You hold me close, keep me safe and warm. We’re not just therapist and patient, we’re the love that’s come to grow, And in this healing journey, we’ll never let each other go. Oh, Alex, oh, Tessa, together we’ll find the light, In the depths of our darkness, we’ll make it through the night. (Outro - Both) In the quiet of our hearts, love finds a way to mend, Two souls intertwined, on each other we depend. Oh, Alex, oh, Tessa, together we’ll find the light, In the depths of our darkness, we’ll make it through the night. Together we’ll find the light, together we’ll make it right.

[Verse 1] She’s a wildfire burning through the night, A spark in the dark, setting everything alight. Leather boots, red-hot soul, She’s the kind of trouble that swallows you whole. I’m locked in, can’t escape, Riding this lightning, feeling no shame. [Pre-Chorus] She’s got the power, I’m just a wire, Plug me in, set me on fire. [Chorus] It’s high voltage love, running through my veins, Can’t shut it down, can’t pull the chain. She’s a live wire, sparking the flame, High voltage love, driving me insane. [Verse 2] She’s a cyclone spinning out of control, A devil in heels with a heart of gold. Got me hooked like a live grenade, Counting down, but I’d never walk away. She’s the edge, she’s the thrill, Every touch is a shock, every kiss a kill. [Pre-Chorus] She’s got the current, I’m just a fuse, Hit me once, got nothing to lose. [Chorus] It’s high voltage love, running through my veins, Can’t shut it down, can’t pull the chain. She’s a live wire, sparking the flame, High voltage love, driving me insane. [powerful electrifying Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Feel the heat, feel the rush, Every jolt is more than enough. No off switch, no turning back, This is the ride on the lightning track. [Final Chorus] It’s high voltage love, running through my veins, Can’t shut it down, can’t pull the chain. She’s a live wire, sparking the flame, High voltage love, driving me insane.

[Verse] We met where the trumpets sang so sweet, In the jazz band, where our shy glances meet. Middle school notes swayed us left and right, Who knew then, you'd be my guiding light? [Verse 2] Homework battles and late-night calls, High school dances, we faced it all. With band practice taking up our days, In those moments, love found its ways. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks. [Verse 3] Strumming strings and tapping feet, Our hearts made a beat so bittersweet. Five years later, under the moon's soft arc, We're dancing together in the deepest dark. [Bridge] Rings on our fingers that tell our tale, From youthful dreams to a love that prevails. Side by side, we're stronger by far, Our love shines brighter than any star. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks. Rings on our fingers that tell our tale, From youthful dreams to a love that prevails. Side by side, we're stronger by far, Our love shines brighter than any star. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks.

Down in Mansfield, on a campus so bright, There’s Donna Hight, keeps the students in line, Dean of the school, got that boss lady grace, She runs the whole show with a smile on her face. But at night when she’s home, and the work day is done, She’s got a partner in crime, a love that’s second to none, It’s Alex Naples, her sweet McDonald’s wife, A 70s soul who’s lived a colorful life. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls.

Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Verse 2 Now Alex is a student, on the road to teach, Middle childhood dreams, she’s got that wisdom to reach, With a heart full of passion and a mind full of plans, She’s ready to shape the next generation of hands. But she don’t just work the counter, no, she’s got more to give, She teaches the kids the way she’s always lived, In a world full of change, love’s the thing that stays, Like a vinyl record spinning those sweet 70s days. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls.

Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Bridge In the small-town air, they’re a beacon of pride, No secrets to hide, just love on their side, From Mansfield to the drive-thru, they’re makin’ their mark, Like a sweet summer firefly lighting up the dark.

(Verse 1 - Wyatt’s Perspective) I’ve been hiding in the shadows, Tangled up in all my fears. Trying to fix what’s broken, Trying to heal through all the tears. You see me when I can’t see myself, You hear me when I’m too afraid to speak. But I’m just a boy with so much to prove, Trying to find the strength to be weak. (Chorus) But, oh, Shelby, you’re the light that shines through the storm, You hold me close when I feel so lost and torn. I’m not perfect, I’m falling apart, But you love me like I’m worth the fight, And I’m starting to believe in my heart. Oh, Shelby, oh, Shelby, You’re the reason I’m starting to see. (Verse 2 - Shelby’s Perspective) Every day I try to heal you, But I’m the one who’s falling too. Your broken soul feels like home to me, And I’m caught between the lines of you and me. I’ve sworn to help you find your way, But somewhere along, I started to stay. I know I’m your therapist, but I’m feeling more, This love we have I can’t ignore. (Chorus) But, oh, Wyatt, you’re the dream I can’t let go, You’re the one I want to see, the one I want to know. I’m not perfect, I’m lost in your light, But you make me want to fight for what’s right. Oh, Wyatt, oh, Wyatt, You’re the reason I’m falling too. (Bridge) I know it’s complicated, And this love is never clear, But when I see you smile, It’s the only truth I hold near. I’m falling for you, Wyatt, And maybe I’m scared to say, But with every moment, with every breath, I’m losing myself in the way you make me feel this way. (Chorus - Both Perspectives) Oh, Shelby, you’re the light that shines through the storm, And I’m trying to believe in all that you’ve sworn. I’m not perfect, I’m falling apart, But with you, I’m starting to see the start. Oh, Wyatt, you’re the dream I can’t let go, You’re the one I want to see, the one I want to know. Oh, we’re not perfect, but in each other, we’ll find the light, We’re fighting this together, we’ll make it through tonight. (Outro - Both) Oh, Shelby, oh, Wyatt, In your arms, I’m starting to breathe. Together, we’ll heal, together we’ll rise, This love will set us free.

A 4-Minute Math Jingle: Systems of Linear Equations (Tune: A catchy, upbeat melody) Intro: Let's dive into a world of math, Where equations intertwine, a fact. Systems of lines, a tricky sight, But fear not, we'll solve them right! Verse 1: Two-Variable Systems Two lines intersect, a point they share, A system of equations, beyond compare. Elimination or substitution, the choice is yours, To find the solution, we'll explore. Multiply, add, or subtract with care, Until one variable's left bare. Back-substitute, the answer's near, A point of intersection, crystal clear. Chorus: Systems, systems, oh so sweet, Solving equations, a clever feat. Lines and planes, a tangled maze, But with algebra, we find our ways. Verse 2: Three-Variable Systems Three equations, three unknowns, A puzzle to solve, a challenge to own. Eliminate one variable, step by step, Reduce the system, a mental adept. Two equations, two unknowns remain, Solve as before, free from pain. Back-substitute again, the final piece, A triple of values, a solution's release. Chorus: Systems, systems, oh so sweet, Solving equations, a clever feat. Lines and planes, a tangled maze, But with algebra, we find our ways. Bridge: Graphing systems, a visual delight, Intersecting lines, a guiding light. Parallel lines, no solution in sight, Coincident lines, infinite delight. Chorus: Systems, systems, oh so sweet, Solving equations, a clever feat. Lines and planes, a tangled maze, But with algebra, we find our ways. Outro: Practice makes perfect, so let's persevere, Mastering systems, year after year. With each equation, a step we take, A journey of knowledge, for goodness' sake!

[Verse] Hard knock life, but I rise from the rubble, Diamonds in the rough, shine double, Folks tryna stunt, I'm steady on my hustle, Weak get cracked, strong handle the muscle. [Verse 2] Mirror, mirror, who's the realest in the room, Growth spurt mindset, I’m in full bloom, Punchlines hit heavy, heavy as a monsoon, Made it from the bottom, now we touch the moon. [Chorus] Resilient heart, beat the odds, standing tall, Cracks in the armor never made me fall, Own that worth, paint future on the wall, From dust to dawn, the conqueror’s call. [Verse] Scribbled destiny, pen moves fierce, No looking back, vision crystal clear, Doubt tried to grip, but I'm the puppeteer, Cut the strings, and the path I steer. [Bridge] Nights dark as coal, burned bright by dreams, Glory paved road, tougher than it seems, Resilience my anthem, perseverance beams, Grown from the trenches, now I lead the teams. [Chorus] Resilient heart, beat the odds, standing tall, Cracks in the armor never made me fall, Own that worth, paint future on the wall, From dust to dawn, the conqueror’s call.
