LYRICS

Future Starts Here

[Verse]

Step into the lab where the sparks ignite

Dreams meet the code under neon light

It’s not just machines

It’s a team we build

Future’s a canvas

We’re the brush to wield

[Prechorus]

We’re not alone in this rising tide

Teachers beside us

They’re our guide

[Chorus]

The future starts here

We rise

We shine AI and humans

The stars align

We shape the world

Together we’ll steer

Saddleback strong

The future starts here

[Verse 2]

Tools in our hands but the heart’s the key

Data with a soul is the way to be

Ethics in the mix

We’re setting the tone

Fairness in code makes the future our own

[Prechorus]

This is the moment to take the leap

The bonds we make are the roots we keep

[Chorus]

The future starts here

We rise

We shine

AI and humans

The stars align

We shape the world

Together we’ll steer

Saddleback strong

The future starts here

Rise Together

[Verse 1]

From the hills of Saddleback, dreams take flight,

In the glow of monitors, burning midnight light.

AI in the mix, not to take but to share,

Tools in the toolbox, we craft with care.

Collab with the profs, they the OG guides,

Blueprints of wisdom, keep the compass inside.

[Prechorus]

Not a shortcut, it’s a partner in grind,

We innovate together, expand the mind.

[Chorus]

We rise together, we learn, we grow,

Building bridges where the future flows.

Tech in our hands, but the heart’s the key,

Equity and knowledge, that’s the legacy.

[Verse 2]

Algorithms spark, but the soul’s the spark plug,

Work with the system, don’t be a data thug.

Jobs on the horizon, the world’s a stage,

Skills in the backpack, wisdom on the page.

Coding the future, we writing our fate,

Handshake with AI, not a steel gate.

[Prechorus]

Dialogue’s the path, let the convo thrive,

Teachers and tech, keep the dreams alive.

[Chorus]

We rise together, we learn, we grow,

Building bridges where the future flows.

Tech in our hands, but the heart’s the key,

Equity and knowledge, that’s the legacy.

AI On Our Side

[Verse]

In the classroom, where the future unfolds,

AI sittin’ there, a tool we can mold.

Not the villain, nah, it’s here to assist,

Helps us climb higher, check the to-do list.

Collab with the profs, no battle, no clash,

Buildin’ bridges, not burnin’ to ash.

Data in my backpack, knowledge in my grip,

Ready for the world, equipped for the trip.

[Prechorus]

No shortcuts, we work and we grind,

AI’s the boost, but we still bring the mind.

It’s a partnership, not a one-man ride,

We level the field, AI on our side.

[Chorus]

AI on our side, we rise, we rise,

Saddleback squad, eyes on the prize.

Together we grow, with teachers we thrive,

Future’s in our hands,

AI on our side.

[Verse 2]

Job market loomin’, tech’s movin’ fast,

Adapt or get stuck, stuck in the past.

But we ain’t scared, we sharpen the blade,

AI the assist, but skills get us paid.

Ethics in the mix, equity the goal,

Everyone eats, not just a few bowls.

From Saddleback halls to the boardroom suits,

We planting seeds now, watch the world bear fruits.

Saddleback Surge

Intro:
Yo, check the mic, one two, this ain’t no ordinary crew
Saddleback College, where the future’s breaking through
From the OC sun to the digital frontier
Hear the rhythm, feel the vibe, let’s make it clear

Verse 1:
Sunrise over Mission Viejo hills, another day begins
Textbooks open, minds awake, where the journey spins
Late night study, early morning grind, pushing past the fear
Every lecture, every lab, making knowledge crystal clear
From the quad to the library, the hustle never stops
Building dreams, connecting dots, reaching for the tops
Got that hunger in our eyes, that fire in our soul
Saddleback spirit rising, taking full control.

Chorus:
Saddleback Surge, yeah, the energy’s alive
AI Minds, future bound, watch us truly thrive
Melodic rhythm, anthemic sound, we’re breaking every chain
Vaquero vision, on solid ground, rising through the rain
From the code we write to the dreams we chase, we’re building something new
Saddleback strong, leading the race, for me and for you!

Verse 2:
They talk about the future, well, the future’s in our hands
With algorithms humming, across these digital lands
From machine learning to the blockchain’s intricate design
We’re not just learning lessons, we’re drawing the new line
AI’s the tool, the canvas wide, for every thought we sow
Innovating, elevating, watching our ideas grow
Solving problems, sparking change, with logic and with grace
Saddleback’s legacy, setting the pace, in this digital space.

Chorus:
Saddleback Surge, yeah, the energy’s alive
AI Minds, future bound, watch us truly thrive
Melodic rhythm, anthemic sound, we’re breaking every chain
Vaquero vision, on solid ground, rising through the rain
From the code we write to the dreams we chase, we’re building something new
Saddleback strong, leading the race, for me and for you!

Bridge:
It’s more than just a degree, it’s the family we create
The bonds we forge, the lessons learned, sealing our own fate
United by a purpose, a passion deep inside
With every challenge conquered, with every rising tide
We lift each other higher, through every doubt and strife
This is our moment, our chapter, the anthem of our life.
From the campus halls to the world beyond, our impact will be vast
Saddleback’s spirit, built to last, a future built to cast.

Chorus:
Saddleback Surge, yeah, the energy’s alive
AI Minds, future bound, watch us truly thrive
Melodic rhythm, anthemic sound, we’re breaking every chain
Vaquero vision, on solid ground, rising through the rain
From the code we write to the dreams we chase, we’re building something new
Saddleback strong, leading the race, for me and for you!

Outro:
Yeah, Saddleback! AI Minds! Future’s bright!
Keep that fire burning, day and night!
Vaqueros up! Let’s go!
The future’s calling, let the knowledge flow!
Peace out!
