Matthew 28:18-20

Ant JinEars, we build it right! With grit and grind both day and night!

[Verse] Skipped down the lane with a whistle and a grin Saw her smilin' bright just as I walked in Hands in pockets swingin' side by side Do what diddy diddy Watch the good times glide [Chorus] Do what diddy diddy Come on let's go Life's a parade Join the show Clap your hands and tap your toes Do what diddy diddy Feel the glow [Verse 2] Shoes are shinin' bright with every step we take Laughin' out loud No room for a mistake Hearts are beatin' fast in perfect rhyme Do what diddy diddy Let the love chime [Chorus] Do what diddy diddy Come on let's go Life's a parade Join the show Clap your hands and tap your toes Do what diddy diddy Feel the glow [Bridge] Under the moon where the stars align Whistle tunes and we'll be just fine Dippy doo da Day or night Do what diddy diddy Hold on tight [Chorus] Do what diddy diddy Come on let's go Life's a parade Join the show Clap your hands and tap your toes Do what diddy diddy Feel the glow

Verse 1 I stay out too late I have something in my brain There's something that I've learned, mm-mm There's something that I've learned, mm-mm Verse 2 We've told so many tales, From the past until today, Literary changes, but still remain, mm-mm They will never fade away, mm-mm Verse 3 In pre-colonial, Can't stop, won't stop yellin', It's like we've got these riddles in our minds, Folk songs and epics shine. Verse 4 'Cause the propaganda's gonna rule, rule, rule, rule, rule And the Spaniards gonna fall, fall, fall, fall, fall Literary forms will change, change, change, change, change Write the truth, write the truth (hoo-hoo-hoo) Verse 5 The language gonna shift, shift, shift, shift, shift From Spanish to Tagalog, log, log, log Baby, we’re just gonna share, share, share, share, share Literary forms, literary forms (hoo-hoo-hoo) VERSE 1 When you need information, My one solution—this module, 'Cause you can learn, Yeah, yeah. VERSE 2 Poetry is what we learn 'bout, Right there, we have elements, All these elements we found here, You can use when making a poem. VERSE 3 And I say, "Do you know this? Do you think it's easy? Do I make you feel confused?" And you're like, "No, not really," 'cause... VERSE 4 Oh, I think that I found the poetry elements, There's speaker, senses, and images, Oh, I think that I found the poetry elements, There's diction, alliteration, repetition.

[Verse] John Wilson walked the Flint streets Dawn till dusk Boots hit the pavement Never did he rush A figure of grit In a town carved by steel Legends grow tall But his story's real [Verse 2] He wandered through the alleys And the broken bricks With a soul so bright Despite the hard-knit mix Folks whispered 'bout his travels And the miles he'd tread Every path he walked Flint held in thread [Chorus] Oh John Wilson Where you're roaming today With every step you take The legends never fray From riverbanks to market stands Your spirit's on display John Wilson’s journey Forever he'll stay [Verse 3] Old timers tell tales 'neath the smoky bar light Of the man who'd walk Through the day and the night No car or bike Just soles worn thin John Wilson walked Where dreams begin [Verse 4] In a city gripped by shadows He was a moving light Through winters harsh And summer's burning bright A beacon of endurance With stride so true In Flint Michigan The legend grew [Chorus] Oh John Wilson Where you're roaming today With every step you take The legends never fray From riverbanks to market stands Your spirit's on display John Wilson’s journey Forever he'll stay

[Verse 1] Big John Wilson Flint-born soul Walkin' through the city with a heart of gold Carryin' a stick Like a staff of old Stories 'bout him The legends they unfold [Verse 2] John moved like a shadow in the early dawn Streets of Michigan knew he'd soon be gone With every step His courage shone In every wind's whisper You could hear his song [Chorus] Oh Big John Wilson The man with the stick A spirit so strong Not easy to break Through snow and sunshine He'd make his way In tales of Flint His name will forever stay [Verse 3] The children would cheer When they'd see him walk Passing their homes He'd sometimes stop and talk Sharing wisdom Never bound by clock In his eyes You saw a spirit that couldn't be locked [Verse 4] The factories roared But John’s steps were loud In a town of labor He stood out from the crowd With his unyielding spirit He'd make folk proud The essence of Flint Oh he wore it like a shroud [Chorus] Oh Big John Wilson The man with the stick A spirit so strong Not easy to break Through snow and sunshine He'd make his way In tales of Flint His name will forever stay

[Verse] Lights are flashin' colors poppin' Crowd is ready never stoppin' In the spotlight standin' tall Who's the spookiest of all? [Verse 2] Buttons click and wheels are spinnin' Winner's grinnin' and we're chillin' Eighties vibes with neon flair It's a party everywhere [Chorus] Skeleton of the week Who's the one we seek Dancin' bones that freak It's the skeleton of the week [Verse 3] We got Frankie bringin’ thunder Sassy Sally from down under Murky Mike with moves that slay Shake it loose and dance away [Bridge] Ghostly cheers electric feel Spooky nighttime spins surreal Tune in tight don’t miss the chance See those bony bodies dance [Chorus] Skeleton of the week Who's the one we seek Dancin' bones that freak It's the skeleton of the week

*(Verse 1)* I was just a girl, barely ten years old, With ragged dolls and secrets that I never told. In the kitchen, I could hear the thunder crack, Dad’s voice roaring like a freight train on the track. Mom’s tears fell like summer rain on dusty floors, I gripped my teddy tight, wishing I could close those doors. *(Chorus)* Make the yelling stop, it cuts me like a knife, Why do we fight the ones we love in this bitter life? This isn’t how love’s supposed to feel, With every scream, I lose another piece of real. Oh, can’t you see, this heart’s breaking apart? Love’s bitter rain isn’t what I dreamed in my heart. *(Verse 2)* I remember the smell of burnt toast, that morning shade, Voices clashing like thunder in the quiet cascade. My hands shook around my cereal bowl, With every harsh word, I lost a little more of my soul. “Why can’t you see me?” I whispered to the air, In this war of love, it seems nobody cares. *(Chorus)* Make the yelling stop, it cuts me like a knife, Why do we fight the ones we love in this bitter life? This isn’t how love’s supposed to feel, With every scream, I lose another piece of real. Oh, can’t you see, this heart’s breaking apart? Love’s bitter rain isn’t what I dreamed in my heart. *(Verse 3)* Once I saw them dance, in a soft golden light, Underneath the stars, everything felt so right. But shadows grew long, and the laughter turned cold, The warmth I felt slipped through my hands like gold. Now I’m staring at the walls of our broken home, Wondering where love went, why I feel so alone. *(Chorus)* Make the yelling stop, it cuts me like a knife, Why do we fight the ones we love in this bitter life? This isn’t how love’s supposed to feel, With every scream, I lose another piece of real. Oh, can’t you see, this heart’s breaking apart? Love’s bitter rain isn’t what I dreamed in my heart. *(Bridge)* When did love become a battlefield? When did our hearts stop being healed? Every tear’s a memory, every fight a scar, Can we find the way back to who we really are? *(Chorus)* Make the yelling stop, it cuts me like a knife, Why do we fight the ones we love in this bitter life? This isn’t how love’s supposed to feel, With every scream, I lose another piece of real. Oh, can’t you see, this heart’s breaking apart? Love’s bitter rain isn’t what I dreamed in my heart. *(Outro)* So I stand in the silence, hoping for a change, Searching for the love, but it all feels so strange. Maybe one day, we’ll find the way to mend, Until then, I’ll keep dreaming of love without an end.

[Verse] Well, I got home from work, boots covered in mud, Hoped to unwind with some virtual blood, But when I fired up that trusty console, PlayStation Network said, "Sorry, no go." [Chorus] Offline again, it's a digital drought, Can't slay no dragons or knock opponents out, Sony, oh Sony, it's feeling quite grim, This network's a joke, one sad little whim. [Verse] Tried other games, but they ain't the same, When the network's down, there's no one to blame, I pay my dues, ain't this supposed to be grand? Now I'm stuck in reality, wasn't in my plan. [Chorus] Offline again, it's a digital drought, Can't slay no dragons or knock opponents out, Sony, oh Sony, it's feeling quite grim, This network's a joke, one sad little whim. [Bridge] Guess I'll go back to board games with the wife, Or read a book, yeah, might enrich my life, But online battles are calling my name, Just wish PlayStation could up its game. [Verse] The weekend's here, I got hours to spend, Gaming with buddies, that's the trend, But that old error screen's giving me the blues, Time to find something else to do.

[Verse 1] Step right up the lights down low Spotlight shining watch the show Skeletons in the closet deep Time to see which one we'll keep [Chorus] Who’s the skeleton of the week Secrets hidden shadows speak Ladies lift your voices high We’ll reveal no alibi [Verse 2] Spin the wheel the numbers glow What's the tale we need to know Buried truths from everyone Join the chant the night's begun [Chorus] Who’s the skeleton of the week Secrets hidden shadows speak Ladies lift your voices high We’ll reveal no alibi [Bridge] Every whisper every lie Falling in the open sky Judgment day’s a breath away Sing it loud don’t fade to gray [Verse 3] Raise the curtain let it fall Truth or dare we've heard it all Mysteries and laughter mix Who’s the one we’ll never fix

(Capodastro on fret 2, chords: Em – C – G – D, with variations on Bm and Am for added excitement.) [Verse 1] You remained like an unfinished verse, On a sheet crumpled by the wind, We got lost somewhere between yes and gone Like two shadows on the same ground. [Pre-Chorus] But what to do with memories Why don't they want to leave? It clings to the soul as if It would have been made of cold wax… [Chorus] And if time takes us far, And if tomorrow we don't know each other anymore, You know that beyond the clouds and the night, You still live in my heart. [Verse 2] Today I saw you in a dream corner, It was like you were smiling, but you were too far away, You told me that this longing has no bottom, But it still hurts, even after one night. [Instrumental Bridge] (fingerpicking guitar, calm atmosphere, Bm – C – G – D chords) [Bridge] Maybe someday, in another season, We will be us again, without spaces and time, But until then, baby, just know That I'm still writing to you in the rain and the elements... [Chorus] (with more intensity, trembling voice, felt) And if time takes us far, And if tomorrow we don't know each other anymore, You know that beyond the clouds and the night, You still live in my heart. [Outro] (light piano, reverb guitar, warm, almost whispered vocals) In my heart… In my heart… you live
