Graduating Berklee students played "Answer", an original song written by contemporary performance (production concentration) graduate student Steve Umculo at the Commencement Concert 'La Nit de Berklee' held on July 8th, 2017. The concert was held in front of the Hemisfèric in the City of Arts and Sciences. Sixteen acts of graduating students performed on a floating stage in the middle of the enclosure’s artificial lake, and culminated with this great, collaborative finale.

LYRICS:

T-t-t-t-take it out on me
So we can settle all these scores
Please search for empathy
To find the answer you look for
And just say what you mean
This clock’s tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin'
We could obey anarchy
To repair these broken seams

Nah-ooo-woah
Nah-ooo
Yeah

Ch-ch-ch-ch-change your plans be free
You need to walk before you crawl, yeah
Grab ahold and jump with me
You need to leap to take control, yeah
And just say what you mean
This clock's tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin'
We could obey anarchy
To repair these broken seams

Nah-ooo-woah
Nah-ooo
Yeah

Yeah, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know if I believe
These things so torn, yeah
Please tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me if our aim is to retrieve
Feelings forlorn
Just say what you mean
This clock’s tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin'
We could obey anarchy
For these broken seams

And I say heeeeeey
This clock’s a-tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin’ (x5)
And I say heeeeeey
Nah-ooo, yeah

(Ah, ah)
(Tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin’) x2

I don’t wan’na go, I don’t wan’na go, I don’t wan’na go home
Let’s change the tone
(Tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin’)
Jump with me, jump with me, jump into spaces you don’t know
We don’t have to be alone
(Tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin’)

Nah-ooo
(Tickin’ and a-runnin’ and it won’t stop comin’)
Nah-ooo
