Chorus
We are the children
We stand together
We sing with one voice.
We sing for you
We are the children
we are the future.
One voice together,
Don’t you know what one big
voice can do.
(we are the children)
(we stand together)
(we sing with one voice)
(we sing for you)
(we are the children ooh ooh)
(One voice together)
(One big voice can do)
Verse 1.
We stand before you
(before you)
Our voices one
(voices one……..)
Sharing the joy, sharing our song,
(sharing our song)
From many lands
we have all come;
(we have all come)
Today we stand, together as one.
Chorus
Verse 2.
We sing of hope,
(sing of hope)
We sing of peace,
(sing of peace….)
We celebrate in harmony,
We sing out strong,
(in harmony)
Our hearts or full, we sing our song, we sing for you.
Chorus
Coda
One Big Voice can do…….
I’ll Be There For You
So no-one told you life was gon-na be this way.
Your jobs a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear.
Well it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but...
Chorus
I’ll be there for you... when the rain starts to fall.
I’ll be there for you.... like I’ve been there before,
I’ll be there for you.... ‘cause you’re there for me too...
You’re still in bed at ten and work began at eight.
You’ve burnt your breakfast so far, things are going great!
Your mother warned you there’d be days like these.
But she didn’t tell you when the world has brought you
down to your knees, that......
by The Rembrandts
no –one told you
love life’s DOA
not your day, week, month
not your year but..
I’ll be there for you...
I’ll be there for you...
I’ll be there for you...
work at eight
things are going great
when the world brings you
to your knees that..
Chorus
Bridge
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with,
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with,
Even at my worst I’m best with you!
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
Chorus
I’ll be there for you... when the rain starts to fall.
I’ll be there for you.... like I’ve been there before,
I’ll be there for you.... ‘cause you’re there for me too...
no o-ne knows
no o-ne sees
only you
only you
only you…
know me true…
ooooo oooooh
not your day, week, month,
not your year but..
I’ll be there for you...
I’ll be there for you...
I’ll be there for you...
Rain Song Can you hear the rain, It’s such a long time in a coming I hear thunder I see lightning and it really can be frightening Talking about raining, Talking about raining, Talking about raining, raining, raining, pitter patter pitter patter.

It’s a sunny day in Australia,
We’re lifting up our sunny face to the world.
From our red red deserts and city streets,
The sun it shines in every boy and girl.
‘Cause they are col-our-ful, they are beautiful,
living in a land of wonders and dreams.
Oh it’s a sunny day and we’re proud to say,

CHORUS
Goodbye Beethoven, I'll see you in the
Spring
I know that you're a genius but I just want
to sing
A country song, it can't be wrong
Though your symphonies are very nice
They're about an hour too long
VERSE 1
First you've got the exposition
And you think you know the scheme
But just to throw you off the track
He adds an extra theme
Then comes the development
Of what has gone before
I try to listen very hard
But I can't take anymore
CHORUS
Well you think that it's all over
'Cause the orchestra's so quiet
Then suddenly they play so loud
That you nearly die with fright
The recapitulation means
The end is getting near
But wait, here comes the coda
And now he's in top gear
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
CHORUS
CODA
Though your symphonies are very nice
They're about an hour too long

If you love somebody
Better tell them why they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you
You'll never know quite when well,
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
I take it in but don't look down
CHORUS
'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt.
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world.
I've tried to cut these corners
Tried to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something
I could have gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've travelled all this way for something
I take it in but don't look down
CHORUS
PART 1 I’m on top of the world…..woh oh oh oh oh oh…etc.
PART 2 I’m on top of the world………………………..woh oh oh who oh oh oh…
BRIDGE (PARTS 1 AND 2)
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now (REPEAT)
CHORUS & BRIDGE COMBINED
All God's creatures have a place in the
choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or
anything they've got now (repeat)
Listen to the top where the little bird sings
And the melodies and the high notes ringing,
And the hoot owl cries over everything
And the blackbird disagrees.
Singing in the night time, singing in the day,
When the little duck quacks, and he's on his way.
And the otter hasn't got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself
CHORUS
Dogs and the cats they take up the middle
While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles,
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
And the old gray badger sighs...
Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big to do
And the old cow just goes moo.
CHORUS
It's a simple song a little song everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The dopey alligator and the the hawk above,
The sly old weasel and the turtle dove.
CHORUS X2
All God's creatures have a place in the choir

Fight Song
by Rachel Platten Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word can make a heart open
I might only have one match but I can make an explosion.
PRE-CHORUS
And all those things I didn't say wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight can you hear my voice this time?
CHORUS
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me.
In too deep, Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years, I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe, Yeah, I still believe.
