[female vocals] Standing
With
Teachers (
a
Teacher's
Day
song,
in
the
style
of
Skylar
Grey)
[Verse 1] Headache
in
the
morning,
migraine
every
day,
I
ask
for
a
leave,
and
it
gets
thrown
away.
I'm
the
one
who's
rehabilitating
minds,
But
nobody's
asking
how
I'm
doing
half
the
time.
Truthfully —
we're
the
most
neglected
in
the
room,
They
say
we
don't
matter
'cause
they'll
just
replace
us
soon.
Thousands
waiting
on
the
line,
hungry
for
the
chance,
So
they
hold
that
over
us
instead
of
second
glance.
[Pre-Chorus] Sunrise
to
sunset,
no
room
to
breathe,
Papers
stacked
up
higher
than
the
things
I
believe.
Still
I
show
up,
still
I
stay,
Still
I
give
the
best
of
me
away.
[Chorus] Oh,
we're
standing —
standing
with
the
teachers,
Sixty
years
of
shaping
every
reacher,
every
dreamer.
We
touch
the
hearts,
we
build
the
bridge,
we
light
the
way,
Nobody
sees
the
weight
we
carry
every
single
day.
Oh,
we're
standing —
even
when
they
doubt
us,
Building
up
the
world
and
no
one
talks
about
us.
So
today,
just
today,
let
the
whole
world
say —
We
see
you.
We
see
you.
Happy
Teacher's
Day.
[Verse 2] A
surgeon
saves
a
heart,
gets
paid
before
the
sun,
We
save
a
thousand
futures,
don't
get
paid
for
one.
Same
names
get
the
honor,
year
on
year
on
year,
While
the
rest
of
us
keep
working,
disappearing
here.
No
side
hustle,
no
way
out,
financially
we're
stuck,
Programs
pile
up
on
us,
low
impact,
bad
luck.
Admins
can't
see
past
the
numbers
on
a
sheet,
Don't
see
the
sacrifice
beneath
our
tired
feet.
[Pre-Chorus] Sunrise
to
sunset,
no
room
to
breathe,
Papers
stacked
up
higher
than
the
things
I
believe.
Still
I
show
up,
still
I
stay,
Still
I
give
the
best
of
me
away.
[Chorus] Oh,
we're
standing —
standing
with
the
teachers,
Sixty
years
of
shaping
every
reacher,
every
dreamer.
We
touch
the
hearts,
we
build
the
bridge,
we
light
the
way,
Nobody
sees
the
weight
we
carry
every
single
day.
Oh,
we're
standing —
even
when
they
doubt
us,
Building
up
the
world
and
no
one
talks
about
us.
So
today,
just
today,
let
the
whole
world
say —
We
see
you.
We
see
you.
Happy
Teacher's
Day.
[Bridge] Beautiful
themes,
year
after
year,
But
themes
don't
pay
the
bills,
they
don't
dry
the
tears.
Just
say
it
plain,
just
make
it
true,
Stand
beside
us —
not
just
a
word
or
two.
Not
just
today.
Every
day.
Every
day.
[Final Chorus — big, stripped down building back up] Oh,
we're
standing —
standing
with
the
teachers,
Sixty
years
of
shaping
every
reacher,
every
dreamer.
We
touch
the
hearts,
we
build
the
bridge,
we
light
the
way,
Nobody
sees
the
weight
we
carry
every
single
day.
Oh,
we're
standing —
even
when
they
doubt
us,
Building
up
the
world
and
no
one
talks
about
us.
So
today,
just
today,
let
the
whole
world
say —
[Outro] We
see
you.
We
see
you.
Happy
Teacher's
Day.
[Outro] We
see
you.
We
see
you.
Happy
Teacher's
Day.
