Students to print off the best work for an exhibition

(Chorus) Oh, Mandy, you're not alone, In this symphony of life, you've got a tune to own. Through the clouds that linger, and the nights so long, Sing a song of hope, let it make you strong.

(Verse 2) In a room of whispers, where silence is her foe, Mandy paints her canvas, with colors yet to show. Anxiety's a tempest, depression a quiet war, But she's finding courage, like never before.

(Chorus) Oh, Mandy, you're not alone, In this symphony of life, you've got a tune to own. Through the clouds that linger, and the nights so long, Sing a song of hope, let it make you strong.

(Bridge) In the heart's secret garden, where emotions intertwine, Mandy dances in the rhythm, like a bloom in time. Anxiety's a whisper, depression fades away, She'll find her way to sunlight, in a brand new day.

(Chorus) Oh, Mandy, you're not alone, In this symphony of life, you've got a tune to own. Through the clouds that linger, and the nights so long, Sing a song of hope, let it make you strong.

(Outro) As the sun begins to rise, breaking through the night, Mandy finds her anthem, taking flight. In the music of survival, in the song of grace, She'll find her way back home, to a brighter, hopeful place.
