Sung to the tune of Miley Cyrus’s The Climb

Lyrics:

I can almost see it
My check sheet clearing
I learn so much everyday
I cannot believe it
The struggles I'm facing
The verb tense changing
The pacing and the plot are
Really racing
And I've gotta make my
Characters seem alive

There's always gonna be another run-on
There's gonna be a stems list, too
I have to get the best word choice
And look at my comma use
Ain't about how fast I finish
Ain't about what's next to be assigned
I must use my mind

The books we're reading
The plays we're speaking
Are very complex and
So intriguing
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
Will prepare me for high school
And college and life
And I've gotta make my
Characters seem alive

There's always gonna be another run-on
There's gonna be a stems list, too
I have to get the best word choice
And look at my comma use
Ain't about how fast I finish
Ain't about what's next to be assigned
I must use my mind

There's always gonna be another run-on
There's gonna be a stems list, too
I have to get the best word choice
And look at my comma use
Ain't about how fast I finish
Ain't about what's next to be assigned
I must use my mind

Keep on thinking
Keep climbing
Use your brain
You really must
Really use your mind
Use your brain
Use your brain

For My reading/writing class we could write a song about the class for extra credit. Here's my song it is sung to the tune of Miley Cyrus's The Climb.
