By Emma Hoff
Verse 1 Verse 2
I was growing up and I found myself scared My rights black squares, but this gets old
Of wandering thoughts He called for his mother
Doubt and faith and what I’d always known We have a hard existing in this world
At the edge of my seat tottering you’re a threat, they don’t see for your soul
Holding on a truth They call you other
That would change my life and all I’d ever known Say not worth it
don’t take space up in our world
Chorus
And she said Bridge
Darling just get up give it a shot Finding hope in the dark places
Fighting fights need already fought Minnesota’s round the way
To love yourself despite all this broken
Falling from their pedestal, the Finding you in all that’s
Guilty verdict, I still feel grey, not black, and white
Like up and running to a place It wasn’t right
For me, for me Highways leading down to justice
Performing but I live the life Call me fool, it’s not the end
Your posts won’t get me through the night
I’m yelling for some just and peace
For us, for us
3“Years”
By Rachana Sherman
Verse 1 Open your eyes
Years are passing by Look into your brain
And my life is like an overdose Tell me what you see
I’m scared I wanna hide Tell me what you, think
From the future, and all of the unknown Reach your hand in
Turn your mindset around
Don’t wanna be the one last to accept
That I can’t go back to my lovely past How tantalizing
But I’m hanging onto hope that Father time is
Time’ll have mercy on my selfish soul Can’t change his mind yeah
Can’t turn back time, yeah
Pre-chorus
You can’t blame me Pre-chorus
For wanting to sit in my comfort zone, not in the You can’t blame me
darkness For wanting to sit in my comfort zone, not in the
For not wanting to venture into the unknown, no darkness
awareness For not wanting to venture into the unknown, no
Can’t help that there’s something I can’t control and awareness
it’s alarming, alarming Can’t help that there’s something I can’t control and
it’s alarming, alarming
Chorus
Running out of time running running out of time x3 Chorus
Running straight ahead and I’m running blind Running out of time running running out of time x3
Running out of time running running out of time x3 Running straight ahead and I’m running blind
Running straight ahead and I’m running blind Running out of time running running out of time x3
Running straight ahead and I’m running behind
Verse 2
Wanting to uncover life’s mystery
But something inside says I don’t wanna see
Careful be careful of what lies ahead
Don’t let hidden futures get into your head

Thank you to our supporters! Studio 345 is a free, out-of-school creative youth development program. It provides unique artistic experiences for students in Grades 9-12 in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Students are given an opportunity to fully explore their creative abilities while being guided by professional teaching artists. As a result, students gain invaluable experiences enabling them to become creative risk takers. Our program is inspired by Bill Strickland’s belief that environment shapes behavior. Strickland was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1947. He struggled in school, but his life changed when he met his art teacher Frank Ross. The bond shared by Ross and Strickland began with a clean slate of molding clay, which started a vision for Manchester Craftsman’s Guild, the inspiration for Studio 345.
