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
