MIGHTY MINDS SONG LYRICS
TEST ANXIETY
Ah_____, Ah______. Ah_____, Ah____.
What a mess, I’m totally depressed.
A week of tests, I can’t believe the stress.
I must confess, I never would have guessed.
These people would be doing this to us.
(CHORUS) We’ve got anxiety.
There’s nothing standard ‘bout anxiety.
The only standard ‘bout anxiety.
It isn’t fair, I’ve got anxiety.
What is it ‘bout society?
They’re testing us from letter A to Z.
All kids beware.
To have success, make it multiple guess.
I must confess, I’m better at recess.
Is this the only way I can progress?
I can’t believe they’re doing this to us.
(spoken) Number 2 pencil, what’s the point?
All of a sudden I’m outta joint.
Reading, writing, ‘rithmetic.
My brain is full, I’m feeling sick.
Columbus sailed the ocean blue, I wonder if he’d take me too.
Testing, testing, everyday. Someone help me get away!
Ah!__________
CHORUS (as above)
All kids beware
All kids beware!
(spoken) I’m stressed!

GIVE ME A BOOK
Give me a book, a book, a real good book.
Give me a book, a book, a real good book.
If you want to go exploring but never leave your chair.
Or learn to run a radio or fly up in the air.
If you need to use a recipe or find your place in history or
Plan to plant a tree…give me a book, a book, a real good book.
If you want a great adventure but you haven’t got a dime.
It doesn’t cost a cent to go “once upon a time.”
If you want a tale of glory or a scary ghostly story, or read
Something really gory, give me a book.
You can soar through outer space, find anything you need.
But, to travel any place, you better learn to read.
When you wake up in the morning or before you go to sleep.
Or, if you’re wide awake at night just counting all your sheep.
By the hook or by the crook, just give it all a little look and
Find a cozy nook. Give me a book. I love to read!

I wanna know about geometry.
I wanna know about the things I see.

WE’LL BE THERE
We’ll be there, you’re never all alone
We’ll be there, you’re never on your own.
Through ups and downs, through smiles and frowns.
We will always be beside you, and we will always care.
Think of us when you’re alone cuz…we’ll be there.
We’ll be there. When you feel you need a friend.
We’ll be there. From the start and to the end.
And as you grow, you ought to know.
You can follow any rainbow, and travel anywhere.
You need never be afraid ‘cuz…we’ll be there.
