And they are inside your head
You got a voice that says
You won't get past this one
You won't win your freedom

It's like a constant war
And you want to settle that score
But you're bruised and beaten
And you feel defeated

This goes out to the heaviest heart

Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over yet

Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Yet, woah
Yet, woah

Oh, game set match
It's time to put it in your past, oh
Feel the winter leavin'
It's redemption season
Long live the young at heart (here we are)
Cheers to a brand new start (here we are)
We're revived and breathing
To live a life of freedom

Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over yet

Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Yet, woah
Yet, woah

And life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (here we are)
Oh no never give up (here we are)
Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (here we are)
We will never give up (here we are)

And oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over yet

Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Yet, woah
Yet, woah
Yet, woah
Yet, woah

Listen as your day unfolds,
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears,
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view,
My oh my, heh, hey

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Time asks no questions,
It goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it, if you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

Remember, listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears,
My oh my heh, hey, hey

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

I was reminded of Sinita's determination to show resistance to Trujillo's reign in the lyrics to "It's not Over Yet". 'It's like a constant war / And you want to settle the score': she wants to settle the score of her family's deaths.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that reminded me of the book "Into Thin Air" is in "It's Not Over Yet". It says "when you think you're finished it's not over yet" I relate this to ITA because of the base camps due to them climbing forever just to get to another camp. In "You Gotta Be" they say "you gotta be cool" I bring this to ITA because it is cold on Mt. Everest.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "It's Not Over Yet" relates to the character Lío Morales in ¨In the Time of the Butterflies. Lío doesn´t give up on his agenda. He continues to fight against Trujillo´s regime. Although he is a minor character, his willingness to go against Trujillo is highlighted on multiple occasions.

# data[].attributes.body
In "It's Not Over Yet" it says "It's redemption season" and this obviously is similar to the comeback that Jon takes to climb Everest. This song also shows his mental attitude of going through with the climb even though of the physical and mental stress he is being put through.  This also can be seen as when the song says "even when you think you're finished/ it's not over yet" it is referencing the different camps set up between the summit and the base camp at mountains base.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "It's Not Over Yet" relates to In the Time of Butterflies by showing how obstacles will still have to be faced after you overcome them. In life you will always have a constant problem or struggle that you are trying to overcome. Patria had to overcome the obstacle of losing her baby and she still has to face more challenges after that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that "You Gotta Be" relates to the novel Things Fall Apart. More specifically Okonkwo and his family, because they display all of the characteristics that you gotta be. They are tough, strong, bold,  and wise.

# data[].attributes.body
¨Its Not Over Yet¨ relates to Jon, the main character in ¨Into Thin Air¨, because of his climbing. The song talks about reaching your limit, then passing it. While Jon has climbed other mountains and has been successful in climbing them, he wants to go big and climb Everest.  There are no limits is what the song tries to show, and what Jon tries to succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "You Gotta Be'"relates to Dede In the Time of the Butterflies. She's struggling with how the government treats her and the citizens of the Dominican Republic. So the line, "Try and keep your head up to the sky", is exactly what Dede is and her sisters are trying to do.

# data[].attributes.body
It's not over yet relates to the characters in "In the Time of the Butterflies". This is because they are dealing with the ruling of a bad leader. He is controlling what they can and can't do. This song says "hope is rising, never give in" and I think that that relates to a lot of things that are going through the heads of the characters. I am sure that they have thought of just giving up and giving into Trujillo, but the girls have chosen to keep on fighting.

# data[].attributes.body
"Challenge what the future holds"
This quotation reminds me of the community's dependence on the information given by the  Oracle of the hills.

"Read the books your father read" I chose this quote because the dynamic in Okonkwo's community is to respect and take after your father. We see this when Nwoye listens to his fathers stories of war and violence as opposed to is mothers fables that he used to love.

"You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser" This quote DIRECTLY reflects the culture in Umuofia.  The men in the village try to not show fear or weakness.

"Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace"  This reminds me of Ikemefuna because he was killed because he was weaker in the eyes of the elders.

"Others may take a different view" Okonkwo would NOT agree with this quote, he believes you must follow tradition and everyone should have the same worldy views as him. Obviously, this isn't the case as he tends to respond to this violently.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "It's not over yet" relates to Marguerite in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings because she keeps on fighting despite after all she's been though. She is judged by white people because of her skin colour and is treated like a servant. The lyrics "You won't win your freedom/It's like a constant war" can be related to her fighting constant racism.

# data[].attributes.body
It's not over yet relates to Into Thin Air because the song and the book both tell about a challenge and how to get past it. They both have elements of being brave against the challenges you face.

# data[].attributes.body
"Challenge what the future holds and try to keep your head up to the sky" I think this line represents Jon Krakauer in Into Thin Air as he is climbing up and down the mountain preparing himself for the summit of Everest.

# data[].attributes.body
"It's Not Over Yet" relates to the Mirabel family because when it says "And they are inside your head, you got a voice that says you won't get past this one, you won't win your freedom," it can relate to how Trujillo is in everybody's heads and that no one is truly free. The song says that you have to keep fighting, which is much like the people of the Dominican Republic at this time trying to fight for freedom. Then, when "You Gotta Be" says "You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold ," it reminds me of how Sinita tried to kills Trujillo during their performance and how bold her move was.

# data[].attributes.body
Its not over yet relates the Things fall apart because a lot of tragic things happen in the village. This is represented by "and even if you think you're finished its not over yet. Also "and they are inside your head" relates to Things Fall Apart because the who village is based on superstition and other beliefs like ancestral spirit. "Out of the dark, into the light" reminds me of when ezigbo was chasing the priestess through the night and the sun came up.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "its not over yet" relates to Into The Air. It reminds me of the climbers and their determination to climb Mt Everest. The adventure isn't over even when you think it is. The line "Its not over yet" is a good example of how it relates.

# data[].attributes.body
This song its not over yet reminds me of into thin air as Jon is climbing Everest. There is struggle and he might have hit his limit but it's not over yet. He needs to keep his hope rising and keep fighting to make it up to Everest and back down. He might be bruised and beaten but he cannot give up if he wants to succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
The second song, You Gotta Be, relates to Rachel from Moloka'i because she is pushed back by having leprosy, but she is determined to overcome it and keep herself together. The line in the song "challenge what the future holds" represents Rachel as she knows she probably has a small chance of fighting off leprosy but she will fight it as much as she can. "Lovers, they may cause you tears" represents how Rachel feels after her mom cut the ties between the two because she tried to give her other kids a better life, and left Rachel feeling abandoned.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "You gotta be" relates to Into thin Air because the characters in Into Thin Air have to climb Everest even when the conditions are at it's worst. This makes the climbers have to be stronger and tougher in order to climb the mountain. Also, the guides had to be stronger than they felt because they had to be strong for the inexperienced climbers. I think that this song can relate to both the climbers and the guides

# data[].attributes.body
"Ixt's Not Over Yet" makes me think of Into Thin Air  because it mentions  "We're revived and breathing". This quote reminds me of the high altitudes and the air that is difficult to breathe.  Also it says "Keep on fighting" which makes me think of the push to get up the mountain.

# data[].attributes.body
"It's Not Over Yet" relates to In the Time of the Butterflies in the sense that Dede is the last of the sisters reciting her life and what seems to be her sisters as well. She hasn't given up  and wants to put what happened in the past such as the thing with that guy that her and one of her sisters fell for.
The lyric "keep on fighting" reminds me of when they were at odds against Trujillo. they often reffered to the the "Yankees" who has fought when here to be free

# data[].attributes.body
The first song reminds me of Doug Hansen from Into thin air because of his strong determination towards climbing Everest after failing the first time. The song relates to Doug's will to "keep on fighting" and "Never give up".

# data[].attributes.body
"never give up" i guess relates to "i know why the cage bird sings" because of maya since after all shes been through in the book she's still going. you could also make that parallel to any of the characters and maybe even to some of the events in the book. i have nothing else to say about this.

# data[].attributes.body
"It's Not Over Yet"
This song reminds me of the struggles that all of the characters in the book have faced already. The line "you won't win your freedom" makes me think of Trujillo. Trujillo isn't letting people have their freedom because he is killing them. The line "Long live the young at heart" reminds me of María Teresa because she is young and innocent. She keeps all of her young qualities alive and showing.

# data[].attributes.body
The song ¨It´s Not Over Yet¨ relates to ¨Into Thin Air¨, because even though he wants to quit and go back down, he must keep going. And even though ¨you think you´re finished¨, your not on the summit yet and you must ¨keep on fighting¨. Jon can ¨never give up¨ until he reaches the top of the mountain, and even though he´s ¨hit his limit¨, he must keep climbing to the top

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that "You gotta be" relates too Into Thin Air because it says  "you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together" and all of these traits are required too survive on Everest. Fischer doesn't follow one of these about staying together and the he has too keep going up and down the mountain too save his people. You also must stay calm like when Jon's team saw the avalanche early on or when the needed oxygen they didn't freak out.

# data[].attributes.body
"its not over yet" relates to Okwanko trying to have an uprising against the white people who take over his village. He destroys a christian church and ends up being arrested by the government. He never gives up and he keeps fighting for his village.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "It's Not Over Yet" can relate to Uncle Willie in 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" because he continues to function with a disability.  He stays strong in the face of discrimination against him due to his skin color and disability.  He remains prideful and doesn't deny his disability to others.

# data[].attributes.body
The song it's not over yet relates to the book's main character in
"Into Thin Air" Jon Krakauer. The reason this connects in the fact that in the book he describes climbing as very difficult and that it is very hard not to give up, these could be described as the voices in "It's Not Over Yet" telling you to give up. The lyrics say "It's like a constant war" This could relate in the fact that on Everest you never truly get a break, your tired when your climbing and when you rest your always cold and sicknesses and injuries spread very quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the song "You Gotta Be" best relates to my book because throughout Maya Angelou's life her grandmother teaches her to be strong, wise, and calm. She is taught to be respectful and the lyric "try and keep your head to the sky" explains one of the things her grandmother taught her. She was told to always keep her head up no matter what.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "You Gotta Be" can relate a lot to the Book  "Things Fall Apart" because it shows what the village expects for mean to be: bold, strong, tough, etc... And how their entire reputation is based off of factors just like these. And also shows their sort of way of facing challenges and solving problem. Basically everybody has to strong and tough in Umofia.

# data[].attributes.body
"It's not over yet" relates to "into thin air" because of how it says that you have to keep fighting even when you feel defeated. When Kraukauer was on Everest he thought he was done once he reached the summit, but it was all just beginning. As well as it says that even when you think it's over it's not. As Jon was coming down the mountain he was tired and was so close to base camp the blizzard hit and he was stranded for hours on the mountain.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the first song "It's not over yet" relates to I know why the caged bird sings because of Uncle Willie's disability. Also it relates to Maya because she never gives up despite all the things she's been through

# data[].attributes.body
The song it's not over yet relates to the main character in Into thin air. Because he has to deal with a difficult task to climb Everest and it's saying everyone else has given up but you need to keep going.

"It's Not Over Yet" relates to "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" main character, Maya because after she is raped, the physical pain places such a toll on her, and even the emotional effects weigh her down to the point where she feels guilty for her rape, causing her to become kind of isolated from her family. in the song it says, "But you're bruised and you're beaten and you feel defeated" and this is exactly how Maya is feeling because she is in such pain that it is hard for her to go on.

# data[].attributes.body
"It's Not Over Yet" relates to "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" because in the song it says that there is a voice inside your head and you won't get passed whatever problem you are facing. In the book Maya feels guilty for getting raped. she also feels like it is her fault and that is the voice inside her head. it is telling her that it is her fault and she is feeling hurt and beaten like the song. she is isolating herself from her family.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "It's not over yet" relates to the characters in the book "Into Thin Air". I believe this because the song celebrates the accomplishments of the members on the expedition, while still reminding them to not give up and overcome their difficult challenge.

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view,
My oh my, heh, hey

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together

Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it, if you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

Something that reminded me of the book "Into Thin Air" is in "It's Not Over Yet".  It says "when you think you're finished it's not over yet" I relate this to ITA because of the base camps due to them climbing forever just to get to another camp. In "You Gotta Be" they say "you gotta be cool" I bring this to ITA because it is cold on Mt. Everest.

The song "It's Not Over Yet" relates to In the Time of Butterflies by showing how obstacles will still have to be faced after you overcome them. In life you will always have a constant problem or struggle that you are trying to overcome. Patria had to overcome the obstacle of losing her baby and she still has to face more challenges after that.

I believe the song "You Gotta Be" relates to the book "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" because in the song they talk about being brave and strong and stuff. This relates to young Maya Angelou because growing up in the South as a black person means you have to be brave and willing to stand up for yourself in some situations.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the song "You Gotta Be" relates to the book "Things Fall Apart" because I think this was Okonkwo believed when he was growing up. He didn't want to end up like his father, so he had to be "bold", "tough", and "wise".

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that the song "It's not over yet" related best to the book I am reading "Into Thin Air" because they have to keep climbing, past the same path over and over again to acclimatize. The song says "to everyone who's hit their limit, its not over yet". This relates because they are climbing and it must be hard for them because it is very physically taxing. They must feel like they are done, like they do not want to do this anymore because of how hard it is. It also says "And even when you think you're finished" Which also can also apply for the same reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
The song "It's Not Over Yet' relates to "Things Fall Apart" because there are a lot of bad things that happen in the book, but afterward they get replaced by better things. In the song, it says
"Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet." This relates to the book because Okonkwo, the main character, is always facing challenges, and hits his limit constantly, but always bounces back

The song "It's Not Over Yet" relates to the book "I Know Why the Cagebird Sings"because with everything that Maya has gone threw in the book so far she keeps on going and doesn't give up and keeps her head up.

The song "It's not over yet relates to the book "Into thin Air". This is because the book is about pushing past the obstacles and getting what you want. As said in this line "its not over yet keep on fighting". Krakauer keeps on fighting and pushing to get to the top of Mont Everest.

The song "Its Not Over Yet" relates to "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" because the main character goes through many challenges regarding her skin color.

"You gotta be" relates to "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" because the lyrics say "you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

All I know, all I know, love will save the day" And Maya goes through a traumatic experience but stays strong and calm despite this. She has to move back to Stamps and she continues to be tough and brave. Also the end says love will save the day and I think for Maya the love from Jesus and her belief in him keeps her safe and secure.

I think the song "You Gotta Be" relates to the Mirabal sisters'  fight against the regime. The first verse, especially the lines "Challenge what the future holds" and "Stand up and be counted" support this, as they represent a fight against something. In this case, the sisters are challenging their futures by fighting Trujillo's dictatorship and the regime.
