THE WORLD BELONGS TO US
The World Belongs To Us
Blood, sweat and tears
Led us right here
Took the hard knocks
Fought our way to the top
Never lost faith
Kept our hearts in the game
Eyes on the prize
And now this is our time
The world belongs to us
Like a supernova
We are explodin’
Forever champions
So carve it in stone
The world belongs to us
It ain’t just strength
It’s grit and it’s grace
The fire inside
That burns do or die
Dark as it seemed
We still believed
Our backs to the wall
But we showed ‘em all
Repeat chorus twice

ALIVE
I was trapped in a never ending maze
Every single path took me the wrong way
But today I broke down the walls
Felt the sun on my face
And now I'm loving it all
Chorus
I feel alive
Changing my life
See the world through a different lens
Where the colours are more intense
I feel alive
Alive
Verse 2
I taste freedom walking in the rain
A sweet sensation every step I take
No more stress, I'm now calm
Breathe in and breathe out
Look up and stretch my arms
Chorus

I'm gonna make the most of my time
Everything's feeling so sublime

I AM A FORCE
I AM A FORCE
Tamara Laurel Mc Guckin(ASCAP),
John Cirillo (ASCAP) & Jasmine Power (PRS)
I’ve lived on the dark side
Of too many midnights
Walking empty streets
Been buried in landslides
The weight of a hard climb
Finding ways to breathe
Pre:
Come on fire, just try to burn me down
Flames get higher but watch me drown them out
CHORUS:
I fight
Like there’s nothin left to lose
I fly even as I fall
I rise
Up like a warrior oh
I believe in what I’m fighting for
Cause I am a force
I am a Force
BRIDGE
To be reckoned with
Stronger than I’ve ever been
I am a force
I’ll never quit
Driven by the power in-
Side of my mind
I will survive
CHORUS:
Instrumental
To be reckoned with
Stronger than I’ve ever been

THIS IS THE YEAR
THIS IS THE YEAR
This is the year that my childhood dreams,
Born in the back of the mezzanine,
Come of age, on the center stage.
This is the year that the red lights change,
And I pull out in the open lane,
Ahead of the pack, no more lookin’ back,
I’ve been waiting for this moment,
And I’m gonna own it, ‘cuz …
CHORUS
This is the year,
When my daydreams catch fire,
A tiny spark, will light the dark,
Burning higher and higher.
This is the year,
When the wrong turns I took,
Turn out to lead, to the peak,
Like I hoped that they would.
It’s finally here,
Oh, this is the year.
This is the year to thank my friends,
Who stood with me until the end,
When I lost my faith, they kept me in the race.
This is the year that the skeptics see,
All their doubts never bothered me,
Just kept me goin’, ‘cuz I had to show ‘em,
It’s got to be so surprisin’,
Now they’re realizing that …
REPEAT CHORUS
This is the year that justifies,
All the pain and sacrifice,
All the late and lonely nights,
When I said a prayer,
FINAL CHORUS
That this was the year,
When my daydreams catch fire,
A tiny spark, will light the dark,
Burning higher and higher.
This is the year,
And I hope it never ends,
If there’s time to borrow, from tomorrow,
I’ll do it so I can spend
More time here,
‘Cuz this is the year,
Oh, this is the year.

WALK A MILE!
V1
When things are tough, or some may say defective
And you are stuck, no matter what you’re doing
To look at it from a different perspective
May help you get up from the hopeless ruin
PRECH
Your life becomes your daily hammer
That pounds and pounds you into destruction
You change your view and grow a skin of armor
Now you’re the nail that holds the whole construction
CH
Think failure's chasing you?
But that’s not true
It’s you who follows it
For a long while
Cheer up! Cheer up! Put on your winner’s boots
And walk a mile! Walk a mile! Walk a mile!
Hey!
Walk a mile! Hey-hey!
Walk a mile! Hey!
V2
When someone ugly stares from your mirror
Try looking at it from the reverse position
Just think that almost every caterpillar
Becomes a butterfly from that condition
PRECH
Your life becomes your daily hammer
That pounds and pounds you into destruction
You change your view and grow a skin of armor
Now you’re the nail that holds the whole construction
CH
Think failure's chasing you?
But that’s not true
It’s you who follows it
For a long while
Cheer up! Cheer up! Put on your winner’s boots
And walk a mile! Walk a mile! Walk a mile!
Hey!
Walk a mile! Hey-hey!
Walk a mile! Hey!
BR
But if you find this song too condescending
Still play along and maybe, by pretending
You'll keep your view unbiased and objective
And change your life, along with your perspective
PRECH
Your life becomes your daily hammer
That pounds and pounds you into destruction
You change your view and grow a skin of armor
Now you’re the nail that holds the whole construction
CH
Think failure's chasing you?
But that’s not true
It’s you who follows it
For a long while
Cheer up! Cheer up! Put on your winner’s boots
And walk a mile! Walk a mile! Walk a mile!
Hey!
Walk a mile! Hey-hey!
Walk a mile! --- END ---

SEEMS LIKE I'M LOSING GROUND.
STORM CLOUDS START TO GATHER
I HEAR A THUNDEROUS SOUND.
NO WHERE TO TAKE COVER
COME TOO FAR TO TURN AROUND.

I KNOW I'LL MAKE IT TO THE TOP.

THE GREAT WAY HOME
Song Title: The Great Way Home
Writer: Michael A. White
This is a song based on the inspirational life of Sophie Scholl
Verse 1:
I see the joy in life
The beauty in the springtime clouds above
Budding branches woken as they’re moved by the wind
All I feel is love
Verse 2:
Some want to be left in peace
To live their little lives undisturbed
No sides no causes no ripples in the pool
They keep their heads down unperturbed
Chorus:
If you do nothing
You still may not survive
I feel I did my best
And for my conduct pay the price
We fear our weaknesses
And losing control
On such a splendid sunny day
I have to go
Transition:
I have to go
I have to go
And find the great way home
Verse 3:
An end in terror
Is preferable to terror without an end
I want to feel alive and not be blind
A righteous cause is one that I’ll defend
Chorus:
Repeat
Bridge:
I choose my way to burn
Though I may stand alone
I hope that when my time comes
I will find the great way home
Verse 4 / Coda:
Send me to his arms
Deep inside my heart I know
That I did my best
And to win I took no rest
And now on such a sunny day
I have to go

SHINE
"Shine"
Sometimes we complain how life's done us wrong,
But it's down to us to sing our own song
We can achieve if we trust in our plan
Live your life now
Just as the sun sets, every night
It rises again turning darkness to light.
Let's grab every chance with both of our hands,
This is our moment in time,
This is our moment to shine.
It's not up to us, what others may do
'Cos we have control of our own point of view.
Decisions we make, and chances we take,
Now is the time
Just as the sun sets, every night
It rises again turning darkness to light.
Let's grab every chance with both of our hands,
This is our moment in time,
This is our moment to shine.
This is our moment in time,
This is our moment to shine,
This is our moment to shine. --- END ---

THE POWER OF THE DREAM
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins with a single step
When I started down this road
I didn’t know how far I’d get
‘Cause there were a million reasons
To stop and turn around
But I found an inspiration
That never lets me down
CHORUS
The POWER OF THE DREAM
Keeps me going always knowing
All I can be
The POWER OF THE DREAM
Lifts me higher fuels the fire
Burning in me
Oh I believe
In the POWER OF THE DREAM
Many helped to build my hopes
With strength of mind and heart
And I would not be here
If not for each one’s part
Always there to share the vision
I was striving for
Helping me to find the courage
To always reach for more
CHORUS
I know I’ll reach my destiny
‘Cause I will give the best of me

FROM WHERE WE STAND
FROM WHERE WE STAND
From the musical “American Twistory “ finale song
By Kevin Kaufman, Sandy Sherman & Rob Battan
From where I stand, the torch burns bright
An ever shining beacon in the night
Lighting the way for people from far and near
And telling them that all are welcome here
From where I stand, the flag’s unfurled
It’s sending out a message to the world
Saying as long as I’m waving proud and free
Then that’s the way America will be
Let’s embrace courage deep inside us
By never letting fear or terror guide us
We’ll live with the hope of tomorrow
And follow where our hearts want to go
From where we stand, we will endure
A nation that’s determined and secure
We pledge our trust that justice will conquer all
And knowing we belong
Will help us to be strong
And bravely rise to answer freedom’s call
We’ll never fall
From where we stand
From where we stand
From where we stand
And knowing we belong
Will help us to be strong
And bravely rise to answer freedom’s call
We’ll never fall
From where we stand ……..From where we stand
From where we stand

Why do they say the sky’s the limit
When there’s footprints on the moon?
The sky is only the beginning
There’s so much more for me and you
I’ve set my sights
Beyond the stars
I’ll spread my wings
Follow my heart
If I can dream it
I can do it, yeah
Let it all start in my mind
There’s no limit
To where I can go
There’s no such thing as flying too high
Flying too high (There’s no such thing as flying, there’s no such thing as flying,
Flying too high there’s no such thing as flying too high)
Life is either an adventure
Or it’s nothing at all
No one said it would be easy
I won’t give up when it gets hard
So watch me soar
The highest heights
The view from there will be
Worth the climb
CHORUS
Whoa
The places that I’ll go
Anything is possible
Oh, I know
If I can dream it
I can do it, yeah
Let it all start in my mind
There’s no limit
To where I can go
There’s no such thing as flying too high
Flying too high (There’s no such thing as flying, there’s no such thing as flying,
So dare me to try there’s no such thing as flying too high)
Flying too high (There’s no such thing as flying, there’s no such thing as flying,

Some day you’ll walk the red carpet
And I’ll make a toast just for you
I’ve watched you grow and work so hard
I’ll be cheering when you break on through so
Rise like a champagne bubble
Run like an Olympic runner
Go for the gold do what you do
Dream as if it already came true
And be filled with pride and wonder…as you
Rise like a champagne bubble
I know you’ve stumbled and fallen
And your journey has been all uphill
Just keep on climbing don't stop now
And when you get to the top, just be still….then
Rise like a champagne bubble
Run like an Olympic runner
Go for the gold do what you do
Dream as if it already came true
And be filled with pride and wonder as you Rise...
Bridge
Like a phoenix from the ashes in the wind..Rise
Like the sun when the day begins..Rise
Like that burning desire from within...Rise
Don’t ever give up, don’t ever give in

Go for the gold do what you do
Dream as if it already came true then
Rise like a champagne bubble
Run like an Olympic runner
Go for the gold do what you do
Dream as if it already came true
And be filled with pride and wonder...as you
Rise...Just Rise... like a champagne bubble

Keep your head above the water

There’ll be times when you feel low
When you can’t take it anymore
You will bounce back, so don’t lose hope
‘Cause tough ones always learn to cope

Keep your head above the water
Remember, “this too shall pass”
So hang tight, it will be alright
If you fall, get up, get up and fight! (2)

Face what life
Keeps throwing at you
I got your back
So you’ll get through
You will get through

Stay afloat a little longer
Keep your head above the water
Remember, “this too shall pass”

Stay afloat a little longer
Keep your head above the water

If you fall, get up, get up and fight (2)

WE STICK TOGETHER
We Stick Together
When you long for hugs and handshakes, as you’re quarantined with heartaches
And infection rates are climbing off the chart
Don’t let your mind become a darkroom, where negatives develop
Time will mend your Humpty Dumpty heart
We stick together
Bad times bring out the good in us
The worst times make us better
Even when everything falls apart
We stick together
If you can’t visit your loved ones in the hospital or the home
You’re afraid that you might not see them again
Fight the enemy that we can’t see with vaccines, masks and distance
It’s a long, hard war, but someday we will win
We stick together
Bad times bring out the good in us
The worst times make us better
Even when everything falls apart
We stick together
If we advance as one
Side by side, hand in hand
We’ll transcend our troubles
United we stand
(chorus)
If we advance as one
Side by side, hand in hand
We’ll transcend our troubles
United we stand, we stick together, united we stand
We stick together, united we stand, we stick together

LIVE THE DREAM
LIVE THE DREAM (James Hoppe & Vanessa Selwyn)
Behind ev’ry smile, there is
Some kind of trial, testing
The ones who step forward
Towards what they all want
But only a few can achieve it
I keep believing
CHORUS
A distant destination
Over the horizon
That I’m trying to keep my eyes on
Might be closer than I think
Even if it takes a lifetime
This journey that is all mine
Be the best this world’s ever seen
Begins when I begin to live the dream
They say the road that I’ve chosen, it’s tough
& nothing is owed, to us
I might not be there yet
I’ll rise up to each test
If ever there’s doubt or distraction
I just imagine
REPEAT CHORUS
Keep the faith
Stay the course
Make the Play
Walk the walk
Again and again, until then
REPEAT CHORUS

RISE ABOVE
RISE ABOVE
© Words and Music:
Marinus Vandertogt/ Donna Aylor
Produced by Jason Garner / Vocals: Whitney Jordan
There’ll come a time
When you feel you’ve reached the end
You’ll fall down
And feel you can’t get up again
You tell yourself
Give up this dream
There’s no way you can win
The hardest part is not the distance
Or the struggle and the pain
Not the endless time spent waiting
Just to be denied again
It’s holding on when you’re not strong
CHORUS:
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
IF YOU BELIEVE
MORE THAN A WANT
IT’S WHAT YOU NEED
YOU NEVER WANTED ANYTHING SO MUCH
EVER FELT A GREATER NEED TO TOUCH
IT’S WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLETE
IF YOU BELIEVE IT’S OUT OF LOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
You’ve come so close
Turned that spark into a flame
Now dark clouds of fate
Leave you standing in the rain
And once again
You’re back where you began
On the outside
Looking in
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
It’s not the moment when you reach that star
Or walk into the winner’s ring
It’s the moment you know in your heart
You can do anything
REPEAT CHORUS
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
YOU NEVER WANTED ANYTHING SO MUCH
EVER FELT A GREATER NEED TO TOUCH
IT’S WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLETE
IF YOU BELIEVE IT’S OUT OF LOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE

LET IT BE ME. DEMO
When the storm has left you broken
Lost in darkness all alone and
You need a hand to help you off your knees
You’ve tried but can't find strength to
Get back on the path you strayed from
And you need a light to shine so you can see
CHORUS
Let it be me
That you call
Let it be me
If you fall
Let it be me by your side
Oh, let it be me
Yeah, I’ve been where you are now
The tide has turned and dragged me down
I’ve watched my dreams go blowing in the wind
You got me back up on my feet
Helped restore my self belief
So now when you go looking for a friend
CHORUS
There’s nothing I want more than
Just to get you through this heartache
And I’ll help you take the first steps to get started
CHORUS

JUST ONE
Just One Words and Music ©2020 Steve Bryant
(Verse)
There’s just one God in Heaven,
But we call him different names.
Just one kind of people,
Many faces, all the same.
There’s just one voice of reason,
Though we might not choose to hear.
Just one blue/green planet,
So many friends, far and near.
(Chorus)
There’s just one answer,
To help see us through.
Reach out a helping hand,
We have so much to do.
(Verse)
There’s just one life we’re given,
Until we pass it on.
Just one golden moment,
One twilight, one dawn.
There’s just one set of values,
For all of us to share.
So may chances,
To show how much we care.
(Bridge)
There’s time enough to learn what we don’t know.
Just one way for all of us to go.
(Verse – Instrumental for the first half)
There’s just one God in Heaven,
But we call him different names.
Just one kind of people,
Many faces, all the same.
(Chorus)
There’s just one answer,
To help see us through.
Reach out a helping hand,

I tell myself to stop dreaming
Follow this through

TOAST TO LIFE
I know it hasn't been easy
Dealing with so much
But we've made it this far
And we've had enough
Of the gloom and doom, the ups and down
Let's forget our worries
And light up the town
Throw up the confetti, pop the champagne
let's give a TOAST TO LIFE
It's time to live again
Put on your party hat, grab a good friend
let's give a TOAST TO LIFE
It's time to live again
TOAST TO LIFE, TOAST TO LIFE, yeah, yeah
TOAST TO LIFE, TOAST TO LIFE, yeah, yeah
You might not sail the coast
jamming to way past three
But let go of your fears
Dance like your problem free
Try not to sweat things you can't change
just enjoy the ride
Bring sunshine to the rain
Repeat Chorus
We don't need a special day
we don't need a reason why no, no. no, we need to celebrate, celebrate life
Repeat Chorus

FIND YOUR OWN WAY
Find Your Own Way
(Phillip Sandifer)
Momma said veryone wants company, but you’ve got to find your own way
You will love, but you’ll also bleed, that’s how you find your own way
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they say
She said, just keep walkin, and you will find, you‘ve got to find your own way
So turn on your mind, let it lead you down the road
Open your eyes, you will see a plan unfold
Where all of the questions and, all of the answers will come together
Chorus:
Baby, when you are down, never think of giving up
It comes back around, you will have strength enough
To handle the pressure, it’s all a measure, of who you are inside
Guitar solo with chorus (first 4 measures):
Break down:
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they say
Just keep walkin, and you will find, you’ve got to find your own
Back full:
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they say
She said, just keep walkin, and you will find, you’ve got to find your own way
You’ve got to find your own way
Momma said, you’ve got to find your own way

Darling girl
hold your head held up high
and look this life square in the eyes
Respect yourself

Remember to choose
a smile when you lose
and poise when you win

And I hope you never forget…………

You are brave
you are strong
you are smart
and I love you with all my heart.

make your mark upon the world…..
go get it, girl.
verse:
dare to stand out
from the crowd
you just be you, and you do it real loud
Love and laugh big
and cry when you need
and the sun’ll shine through the clouds
When something feels wrong
and there’s plenty that may
use your voice, don’t be afraid to say
no, i don’t thinks so
so i’m going to go
and then you turn and walk away
pre-Chorus:
And I hope you never forget…………

You are brave

you are smart
and I love you with all my heart

JUST HOLD ON

Change has come and changed us
Nothing is the same here anymore
Yesterday’s forgotten
Who’s with us, who’s against us
feels like a war
Who cares who’s wrong or right
We can (both/all) win this fight
Take my hand and I’m gonna take yours too
Together there ain’t nothing nothing that we can’t do
In Uncertain times and troubled minds
Fear of the unknown
We’re gonna be ok
There’s a brighter day
Just hold on
We’re all scared of breaking
Giving in and getting nothing back
What if that’s the answer
One another, not ourselves
How ‘bout that
Divided we will fall
But love unites us all
Take my hand and I’m gonna take yours too
Together there ain’t nothing nothing that we can’t do
In Uncertain times and troubled minds
Fear of the unknown
We’re gonna be ok
There’s a brighter day
Just hold on

YES, YOU CAN DO IT
YES, YOU CAN DO IT
Tiago Videira
Yes, you can do it, it’s all in your head,
Open your eyes, jump out of bed,
Open those curtains, soak up the sun,
It’s a beautiful day, c’mon, let’s run.
The wind in your face, the sweat in your chest,
It all feels so hard, but it’s for the best.
There’s pain in your joints, your body feels sore,
But fears are fading, you’re winning the war.
Yes, you can do it, you have it in you,
Each lifted weight is showing it’s true,
You’re like a machine working non-stop,
Squatting and flexing your way to the top,
Yes, you can do it,
Yes, you can do it,
Yes, you can do it!
Yes, you can do it, it’s all in your heart,
Blood vessels are pumping, you’re doing your part,
Mountains of muscles, your body is now art!…
Yes, you can do it,
Yes, you can do it!
Yes, you can do it, believe in yourself
You’ve got the power, you can excel
Working so hard, so hard, for so long
Baby, you’re amazing, you’re fire, you’re so strong! --- END ---
