**Title: March of the Storytellers** **Verse 1** Left foot, memory, right foot, rhyme Line up your words and keep in time One beat for the where, one beat for the when Tap out the who and we’ll march again Turn up the truth, turn down the noise Stack your tales like building toys Step by step, let the pictures grow Every little detail in a row **Chorus** This is a story telling drill, drill, drill Marching every moment up the hill, hill, hill Left, right, left, make the scene stand still ’Til the story in your mind starts to spill, spill, spill We don’t rush, we don’t stand still We just work that storytelling drill **Verse 2** Warm up the “once upon a time” in your chest Breathe in the problem, breathe out the quest Who wants what? What’s in the way? Say it loud enough to light the day Questions line up like boots on the floor Why did it start? Who opened the door? Snap that scene like a snapshot frame Give every face a name, a name **Chorus** This is a story telling drill, drill, drill Marching every moment up the hill, hill, hill Left, right, left, make the scene stand still ’Til the story in your mind starts to spill, spill, spill We don’t rush, we don’t stand still We just work that storytelling drill **Verse 3** Drums in your heartbeat, beat that pace Run with the plot, don’t lose the chase Turn up the trouble, wind up the stakes Feel the earth tremble when the ground breaks Count to four when the tensions climb One for the secret, two for the crime Three for the choice that changes the game Four for the fire that calls your name **Pre-Chorus** Line by line, let the footsteps fall Tiny truths turning into something tall From a whisper in the dark to a battle cry From a single spark to a burning sky **Chorus** This is a story telling drill, drill, drill Marching every moment up the hill, hill, hill Left, right, left, make the scene stand still ’Til the story in your mind starts to spill, spill, spill We don’t rush, we don’t stand still We just work that storytelling drill **Bridge** Call: Who’s your hero? Response: Make ’em real! Call: What do they want? Response: Let us feel! Call: Where do they stand? Response: Set that ground! Call: When does it change? Response: Turn it ’round! Call: Why does it matter? Response: Say it clear! Call: How does it end? Response: Bring it near! Every line a step, every beat a clue The story starts marching right out of you **Breakdown** Left foot, setting Right foot, stakes Left foot, choice Right foot, breaks Clap for the moment, stomp for the twist Drill ’til no detail’s ever missed **Chorus (Extended)** This is a story telling drill, drill, drill Marching every moment up the hill, hill, hill Left, right, left, make the scene stand still ’Til the story in your mind starts to spill, spill, spill We shape the shadows, bend the light T
