    “Gmorning!
    You're gonna make mistakes.
    You're gonna fail.
    You're gonna get back up.
    You're gonna break hearts.
    You're gonna change minds.
    You're gonna make noise.
    You're gonna make music.
    You're gonna be late, let's GO.

    Gnight!
    You're gonna fall down.
    You're gonna be tested.
    You're gonna learn about yourself.
    You're gonna get brave.
    You're gonna take stands.
    You're gonna make waves.
    You're gonna make history.
    You're gonna need rest, REST UP.”
