Defend Your Answer (Stephanie)

Defend Your Answer (Stephanie) lyrics & image by Stephanie & ChatGPT music by Suno AI Defend Your Answer (Stephanie) The classroom clock is ticking loud Pencils scratching through the crowd A question sits there on the page Like a tiny test of courage and rage “Explain your work,” the teacher said “Use your words inside your head” But one kid stared with battle eyes And drew a scene of last-stand skies Dust clouds rising in the sand A little soldier makes a stand Chorus Defend your answer, hold the line Even if the odds aren’t kind When the question’s staring back at you Do what only you can do Raise your voice, make your claim History class or spelling game If the world asks you for proof Stand your ground upon the roof Instead of numbers, neat and plain He drew a hill, a trench, a flame A stick-figure shouting through the smoke A desperate, determined joke “Sarge, I don’t know how much longer We can keep these answers stronger!” But still he pointed to the ground Where the word ANSWER could be found Chalk dust drifting through the air A rebel drawing everywhere Defend your answer, hold the line Even if the odds aren’t kind When the question’s staring back at you Do what only you can do Raise your voice, make your claim History class or spelling game If the world asks you for proof Stand your ground upon the roof Some kids write in quiet rows Some let their imagination go And sometimes genius looks like art With messy lines and a fearless heart Defend your answer, brave and loud Even in a quiet crowd When the paper turns to battlefield Your creativity’s the shield Raise the flag of what you know Let the wild ideas flow And if a teacher sees the view— They might just give an A to you.
