[Verse] Remember when the bell would ring our hearts would sink so fast Teachers yell while chalk leaves marks each lesson fails to last We were kids with wide eyed dreams boxed up in rows so tight Imagining the things we'd do if we could take to flight [Chorus] Back to school oh what a joke they never taught us life Chasing grades and football games disguise the inner strife Sitting there with hidden thoughts of worlds beyond the walls In the end we teach ourselves and answer our own calls [Verse 2] Back in class we learned to doubt each question’s marked in red Endless facts that mean so little paths we never tread Skipping lunch to dodge the stress of fitting in the mold Life’s true lessons come from living not from what we’re told [Chorus] Back to school oh what a joke they never taught us life Chasing grades and football games disguise the inner strife Sitting there with hidden thoughts of worlds beyond the walls In the end we teach ourselves and answer our own calls [Bridge] But now we look behind the veil and see the flaws they ignored The things that really shape our days aren’t found on any board Remember when the chalk did fade and lessons turned to lore The heart and mind discover truths that classrooms can’t explore [Verse 3] Remember those old hallways filled with echoes of our youth We learned to love and fight and dream we stumbled on our truth Now we laugh at all those rules that tried to hold us down We fought back with defiant hearts and minds that can't be bound

[male] Be near me when my light is low, When shadows deepen, winds won’t blow. When dreams unravel, thread by thread, And hope’s faint whispers fill my head. When every step feels like a fall, And silence echoes through it all. Be near me then, and hold me tight, A star to guide through endless night. [Chorus] Be near me now, when the world turns away, When my strength has faded, my heart gone astray. Oh, Oh, Oh Oh... Let your presence mend what’s broken in me, A light in the dark, a safe harbor at sea. [male] When blood creeps slow and nerves betray, And life itself seems far away. When every thought, a weight, a stone, And I am left to stand alone. Be near me when the voices fade, When shadows of rejection invade. Stay close, though I am bruised and torn, A spark remains where love was born. Chorus: Be near me now, when the world turns away, When my strength has faded, my heart gone astray. Oh, Oh, Oh Oh... Let your presence mend what’s broken in me, A light in the dark, a safe harbor at sea. [Male] For even when all wheels are slow, A deeper truth begins to grow. Through pain, through loss, the soul can rise, If hope stays near, it never dies. [Male] Be near me when my light is low, And I shall find the strength to go. Through every shadow, every scar, Hope will guide me, near or far.

You're a mean one, Mr. Bogdan, You really are a fright. You're as charming as a cactus, You're as slippery as the night, Mr. Bogdan. You're a rotten apple with a wormy bite! You're a monster, Mr. Bogdan, Your heart's a block of ice. Your brain is full of cobwebs, You've got a heart that's hard as dice, Mr. Bogdan. I wouldn't trust you with a glance or a roll of the dice! You're a vile one, Mr. Bogdan, You have termites in your smile. You have all the tender sweetness Of a crocodile, Mr. Bogdan. Given the choice between the two of you, I'd take the crocodile! You're a foul one, Mr. Bogdan, You're a nasty, wasty skunk. Your heart is full of unwashed socks, Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Bogdan. The three words that best describe you are as follows: Stink, stank, stunk! You're a crooked one, Mr. Bogdan, You're the king of spiteful souls. Your heart's a dense black coal, Full of miserable holes, Mr. Bogdan. Your soul is a swampy mire, Overflowing with unspeakable goals!
He caught you, in his orbit Your feet off the floor, you didn’t mind it You circled there, around his sun A solar flare, and now it’s done We’ve all been there before When you need, give me a call I’ll catch you, before you fall You can cry about, what you lost Your fated love, star crossed You hold your breath, i’ll hold your hand
