Rise Up
|
You're broken down and tired of living life on a merry go round;
And you can't find the fighter, but I see it in you so we gon’ walk it out. Move mountains We gon’ walk it out. And move mountains. And I'll rise up; I'll rise like the day, I'll rise up; I'll rise unafraid. I'll rise up; And I'll do it a thousand times again. And I'll rise up; high like the waves, I'll rise up in spite of the ache. I'll rise up, and I'll do it a thousand times again For you, for you, for you, for you. When the silence isn't quiet And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe; And I know you feel like dying, But I promise we'll take the world to its feet. Move mountains. Bring it to its feet. And move mountains And I'll rise up... All we need, all we need is hope. And for that we have each other, And for that we have each other, And we will rise, (we will rise,) We will rise, (we will rise,) We will rise up, (we will rise,) We will rise. And I'll rise up... We'll rise up... Oo… Oo… Oo… Oo... |

Lead the Way

Intro
Who will stand and chase away the darkness, Bridge the river that divides humanity? Lead us toward the light of justice as we seek the promise land. Who will lead us…Maybe you can. Chorus 1 Lead the way.... Find the light ... Follow the voices showing you the way There's a place for you and me. Verse 1 The things that make me different are the things that make me me. If we were all the same how boring planet earth would be. Let’s celebrate our differences, our diversity, Listen to each other, stand in solidarity. Chorus 2 Lead the way.... Find the light ... Hear the voices showing you the way Tomorrow is for you and me. Verse 2 I’m thankful to the people who have guided me in life Who shaped me and protected me through adversity and strife: To parents, teachers, authors, friends who helped to pave the way You’ve taught me what a leader is, now I can stand and say. Chorus 3 Lead the way.... Find the light ... Hear the voices showing you the way Tomorrow is for you and me. Bridge And in the darker days, When we are scared, When fear & animosity pollute the air Break us open, help us prepare To love our brothers, help each other, Sisters, daughters, fathers, mothers We can learn to share, Learn to care. Chorus 3 a capella Chorus: 4 Rap Lead the way When you think that the road is rough and you feel like you've had enough Find the light That burns inside of you telling you to push through Hear the voices Shout, let freedom ring, build a bridge t'wards unity Tomorrow is for you and me. Vamp Rap Lead the way Leaders help build a bridge, not a wall Leaders don't need a crown Lead the way To help us all Take the lead if you’re with us Show the way Lead the way. Do the work if you’re with us For a brighter day. Outro Will you stand and chase away the darkness, Bridge the river that divides humanity? If you’ll listen to my questions, if you’ll try to understand I will follow you – and lead you – hand in hand. |
Heal the World

HEAL THE WORLD
Michael Jackson There's a place in your heart And I know that it is love And this place could be much Brighter than tomorrow. And if you really try You'll find there's no need to cry In this place you'll feel There's no hurt or sorrow. There are ways to get there If you care enough for the living Make a little space, make a better place. Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for You and for me. If you want to know why There's a love that cannot lie Love is strong It only cares for joyful giving. If we try we shall see In this bliss we cannot feel Fear or dread We stop existing and start living Then it feels that always Love's enough for us growing Make a better world, make a better world. Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race. There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for You and for me. Bridge: And the dream we would conceived in Will reveal a joyful face And the world we once believed in Will shine again in grace Then why do we keep strangling life Wound this earth, crucify it's soul Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly Be God's glow. We could fly so high Let our spirits never die In my heart I feel You are all my brothers Create a world with no fear Together we'll cry happy tears See the nations turn Their swords into plowshares We could really get there If you cared enough for the living Make a little space to make a better place. Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for You and for me. Refrain (2x) There are people dying if you care enough for the living Make a better place for you and for me. There are people dying if you care enough for the living Make a better place for you and for me. |
Imagine

1. Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try.
No hell below us, Above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today...ah... 2. Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace, you You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will live as one 3. Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will live as one |
