[CHORUS]
There’s so many animals
There’s so many kinds
What is your favorite?
We’ll tell you about mine!
[VERSE]
Cats are furry
Claws so sharp
But not like the jaws on a Great White Shark!
Have you heard of the falcon, known for its speed?
It goes 240 mph and it’s not picky when it feeds
[CHORUS]
There’s so many animals
There’s so many kinds
What is your favorite?
We’ll tell you about mine!
[VERSE]
Armadillos are cute but very strong
Cause they have a shell so nothing goes wrong!
Look up in the tree, do you see those toes?
If you look a little higher, you’ll see that cute Koala Bear nose!

Oh the fish got swept in
By the filter, oh by the filter
Oh the fish was killed

Where did the fish go? Oh, oh
Flush it down, down, down

‘Til he was eaten, oh eaten
The fish was killed

Flush it down, down, down

[VERSE 1]
Nzali: A way to show my beauty
Inside and out
A way to show my
Feelings without having to shout
GV: A way to show what’s inside
Without any words
A way to show what’s inside
I’m finally heard
Fae: A way to show what’s inside
Without any doubt
A way for my voice to be heard
Not shut out
[CHORUS]
Art is my voice, art is my soul
Art is the one thing that keeps me whole
Art is love, art is life
Art is light, light, light, light, light!

Fae: A place to write my feelings out
While eating my sauerkraut
GV: A place to have my feelings heard
Knowing that my feelings hurt
Nzali: A place to show my feelings while
Always putting on a smile
[CHORUS]
Art is my voice, art is my soul
Art is the one thing that keeps me whole
Art is love, art is life
Art is light, light, light, light, light!

[VERSE 1]
Playing around, breaking the rules
Doing some chores, going to school
Mama says go to bed
I stay up all night
Thinking about what’s in my head
Hoping I don’t catch a fright
While I’m sleeping through the night
[CHORUS (2xs)]
Childhood rocks!
Childhood rules!
If you don’t like it, you’re a fool!
[VERSE 2]
We eat a lot of sweets, while hiding under our sheets Kids are super, super elite
Kids need to be fun, kids need to be loud
Kids need to be very, very proud
Sometimes we get in a fight
But we do what’s right
And then everything’s alright!
[BRIDGE]
You think that being a kid is tough
We think that being grown up is rough
We get to play and slay all day
And this is why we say!

[VERSE 1]
The darkness of the room
White light burns my eyes
Am I in heaven, did I die
Poked and prodded from all sides
[CHORUS]
The bars on my cage
Are no better than a maze
I’m trapped in this rage
Time stills as I age
The days pass by
While I’m stuck in a haze
[VERSE 2]
Someone comes with a syringe
Stressed out, what’s happening to me?
As I’m taken I cringe
Will I survive? There’s no guarantee
[CHORUS]
The bars on my cage
Are no better than a maze
I’m trapped in this rage
Time stills as I age
The days pass by
While I’m stuck in a haze
[BRIDGE - Em Am 4x]

[VERSE 1]
I’m sick of living
In a place of bullies
I’m sick of living
In a place of worries
I don’t wanna be
Made fun of anymore
I wish I was better
I wish I was cooler
[CHORUS]
Can I be free?
I wanna be loved
Can I be right?
I wanna be strong
Whoahh
[RAP]
We are the soundtrack breakers
The record makers
Say what you want, you aint gonna fake us
Let alone break us
[VERSE 2]
I’m braver than
The ones who hurt me
I’m kinder than
The ones who desert me
I deserve better
I am better

Something’s coming, something big
You better go run and hide (2x)
You better go run and hide
[VERSE 1]
You don’t know that it’s coming
You don’t know that it’s there
It’s coming to sweep you up
It coming to give you a scare
It’s coming to knock you down
It’s going to be a nightmare (2x)
[CHORUS]
Something’s coming, something big
You better go run and hide (2x)
You better go run and hide
[VERSE 2]
It’s getting closer
You want to run
You want to hide
Can’t look it in the eyes
Soon to be your demise
You wish you could be home
Not alone, not alone
[BASS SOLO]
[BRIDGE]
You gotta face it down
You gotta stand your ground (4x)
You gotta face it down
[LAST CHORUS]
Something’s coming
Something big
Don’t go run and hide

Don’t. Go. Run. and hide.
It’s coming (4x)

[VERSE 1]
People walking not stopping
Having a good, good time
But the music’s stopping
My beat is dropping, dropping
The vibes so
It’s time to stand
Just take my hnd
Oh dear a building falling near
[CHORUS 1]
Run, run, run (give or take) 2x
Why did it stop
How did it get this way
But I will try to save the day
[VERSE 2]
Now I see this girl just like me
She likes to dance so I take her hand
And then we stand then I see
She’s young as can be
[CHORUS 2]
Run, run, run into the woods
Why did it stop
How did it get this way
But I will try to save the day
[VERSE 3]
Now we’re running, running towards the woods
Towards the savior
There it is filled with goods
I finally saved her
