Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

I'm sure U2, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Boy George, etc. are all bored....soooo.....

Let's all whine about the plight of those who are without FIRST and organize a massive fundraiser concert called "FIRST Aid" (48 has actually staged three such concerts locally) and recruit all these 80's icons to perform and write a song about FIRST ala "We Are the World", "Feed the World", etc.........

Can you imagine people like Andy Baker, Karthik, Copioli, Patton, Cokeley, Dillard, Lavery, Heidi, Woodie, Dean, Morrella, Warren, Boucher, Beatty, Olivera, Grady, etc. holding hands, swaying back and forth to the music, and singing a song like this? I smell music video....

So lame....

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the nerds must come together as one
There are schools that need us
And it's time to lend a hand to FIRST
The greatest program of all

We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
Dean's great big family
And the truth, you know robots are all we need

[Chorus]
We are the nerds
We are the mentors
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're improving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your kitbot
So they'll know that someone cares
And their minds will be stronger and free
As Dean has shown us by giving us AIM HIGH
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]
We are the nerds
We are the mentors
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're improving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me


When your school has no team
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]
We are the nerds
We are the mentors
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're improving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
