Anzac SongALWAYS REMEMBER
Music and Lyrics by Ian Jefferson. I’ll always remember the lights on the liner, They signalled the start of a thousand goodbyes, And I’ll not forget the cheers from the crowd or the tears in my grandmother’s eyes. . There was Charley and George, Thomas and Joseph, Patrick McGee and James, And many more as we marched into the flames. . I’ll always remember the thrill and excitement, Adventures galore from the very first day, And I’ll not forget defending the line or the friendships we made on the way. . There was Charley and George, Thomas and Joseph, Patrick McGee and James, And many more as we marched into the flames. . We shared jokes and tobacco, We gambled and swore, we sang. The sun rises each day but for some it has already set, We’ll never forget. I’ll always remember the roar of the trenches, We fought to survive and we’d never say, “die”, And I’ll not forget the roll-call at dawn, when a soldiers name brought no reply. There was Charley and George, Thomas and Joseph, Patrick McGee and James, And many more whose names I never learned, Our comrades forever, the fallen who never returned. https://vimeo.com/98889432 BOATMAN
Hearts were exploding around us As we drifted south down the bay. The gray up above and gray down below Left us with nothing to say. So we drifted along in silence Till the tickle of life trickled in. And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand, We were catching fire again. Oh boatman, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea. Oh boatman, taker and giver, Can you deliver me? I would forever run free. Yeah, we finally caught up with legends, We were walking along side by side. We worked out a plan to go out hand in hand, The long trail just wasn't that wide. The water around us was freezing, We just laughed and threw ourselves in. And although we were old, The sting of that cold pumped up the feeling, Here it is again. Oh boatman, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea. Oh boatman, taker and giver, Can you deliver me? I would forever run free. Oh, I'm a message in a bottle Drifting along on a deep blue sea. Waiting for some foreign shore, Ready for something to be. No longer afraid of falling, We cut the strings to the sky. We found lever ground And we put ourselves down, Amazing we all didn't die. We took each moment as given, By second they came. The ice and the sun And the thundering guns, Good God I was finally sane. Oh boatman, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea. Oh boatman, taker and giver, Can you deliver me? Oh holy roller, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea. Oh boatman, taker and giver, Can you deliver me? I would forever run free.
I just love this one! |
Wellerman
There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea The winds blew up, her bow dipped down O blow, my bully boys, blow (huh) She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey) One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Before the boat had hit the water The whale's tail came up and caught her All hands to the side harpooned and fought her When she dived down below (huh) She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey) One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey) One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Take our leave and go Take our leave and go Use the below video to help you learn the word placement we will NOT be singing to this track though, This is the one we will be singing to
time enough to givePAUL JARMAN
These are the times I remember These are the days we have shared This is my time, I will surrender It’s never a short time When there’s time enough to give These are the years held so tender Hold on to the good times we have All of my years, a time to treasure It’s never a short time When there’s time enough to give Every day I feel you closer Every way you touch my fragile heart Stay close beside me Find hope in my dreams These are the dreams I hold on to Hope finds a way every day There will come a time for going home This is my time, our time There’s time enough to live OUr fun song....Our end of year song |

i have a voice
I have a voice, simple and clear
It speaks the truth, for all too hear It gives me hope, It gives me faith It lifts me up, It keeps me safe I have a voice, it's mine alone It comforts me, It is my own Although it's small, I'm not afraid For I am strong and it's embrace No one can say, what I have seen Or understand where I have been For what I found inside myself, belongs to me and no one else If I were blinded had no eyes to see, still I would hear that voice inside of me I wish that you I wish that you Could hear it too I have a voice (I have a voice), simple and clear (Simple and Clear) It speaks the truth (It speaks the truth), for all too hear (For all too hear) It gives me hope (It gives me hope), It gives me faith (It gives me faith) I have a voice (That I am safe) No one can say, what I have seen Or understand where I have been For what I found inside myself, belongs to me and no one else If I were blinded had no eyes to see, still I would hear that lives in me I wish that you I wish that you Could hear it too I have a voice, it's mine alone It comforts me, It is my own Although it's small, but it is strong I have a voice, it is my song you're the voice

I'm still standing
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now You know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah i just can't wait to be king..."I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware Well, I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair I'm gonna be the main event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my roar Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing Oh, I just can't wait to be king You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think- No one saying, "do this" Now when I said that, I No one saying, "be there" What I meant was No one saying, "stop that" Look, what you don't realize No one saying, "see here" Now see here! Free to run around all day Well, that's definitely out Free to do it all my way I think it's time that you and I Arranged a heart to heart Kings don't need advice From little horn-bills for a start If this is where the monarchy is headed Count me out Out of service, out of Africa I wouldn't hang about This child is getting wildly out of wing Oh, I just can't wait to be king Everybody look left Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm Standin' in the spotlight Not yet! Let every creature go for broke and sing Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling Oh, I just can't wait to be king Oh, I just can't wait to be king Oh, I just can't wait to be king these days
Leaving to find my soul
Told her I had to go And I know it ain't pretty When our hearts get broke Too young to feel this old Watching us both turn cold Oh, I know it ain't pretty When two hearts get broke Yeah, I know it ain't pretty When two hearts get broke I hope someday we'll sit down together And laugh with each other about these days, these days All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days These days, these days These days, these days Three years of ups and downs Nothing to show for it now And I know it ain't pretty when the fire burns out Calling me when I'm home, remind me of what’s been done And I know it ain't pretty when you're trying to move on, yeah I hope someday we'll sit down together And laugh with each other about these days, these days All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days Oh, I know, I know Oh, I know, I know Oh, I know, I know These days, these days Oh, I know, I know Oh, I know, I know Oh, I know, I know To these days, these days, oh Hallelujah
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her singing from the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She sang to you and you sang with her and you sang and danced in the moonlit air And from your lips you both sang Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from song Was how to sing with love and music in you And it's not a song that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's just a strong and joyful Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah |
