Song 8: We Are Edison
Stem S:
Born with a mind full of hunger to know why - asking the questions, I am Edison
Artsy S:
Firm on the ground but my focus is the sky - I am a dreamer, I am Edison
Artsy S:
I will press on through failures along the way.
Stem S:
I will believe there’s light at the end of the day.
Artsy S:
Now I will rise to the challenge of our times. I will not back down, I am Edison
Students:
We are the builders who will build a better world
Every step forward – We are Edison
We are the scroll, we’re the future to unfurl
Light in the darkness – We are Edison
We will press on through differences that may come
We will believe there is goodness in everyone
Now we will rise to the challenge of our times
We will not back down – We are Edison
Teachers:
We are the champions of a great and worthy cause
We are the teachers – We are Edison
We are the seekers who find treasures in our flaws
We have discovered – We are Edison
We will not hide these difficult times we face
We will believe there’s hope in the dreams they chase
Love is the call and the challenge to us all
We will not back down – We are Edison
Students:
We are young - we are bright
now we will rise up and challenge the night
We are here - we are now
seizing this moment - we will not back down
We are Edison
Stem S:
Firm on the ground, but our focus is the sky - we are the dreamers
Students:
We are Edison
Teachers:
We are Edison
