Talent show teacher: Next up we have Emily Smith singing! Emily: Running through the rain, feeling every drop Trying hard to keep my heart from every stop Looking for a way to clear my mind Hoping I'll find the peace I need to unwind Girl 1: Everything around me feels so gray Trying to hold on to something bright in every way I'll keep going till I find my way Through these tough times, here to stay Girl 2: Take a moment to just breathe And let the world just be Feel the wind and hear the trees Close your eyes, let go, and feel free Girl 3: But in this crazy world we live in It's hard to find the quiet Sometimes you just have to take a step back And breathe in the magic Talent show teacher: Now we have Samantha Davis on the piano!
