Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

What A Wonderful World
​
I see trees of green, red roses too​
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
​
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
​
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do?
They're really saying I love you
​
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
​
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Lift Every Voice and Sing
James Weldon Johnson, J. Rosamond Johnson
​
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
​
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the day that hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet,
Come to the place on which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our star is cast.
​
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee,
Shadowed beneath the hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.
"Stand Up"
(from "Harriet" soundtrack)
​
I been walking
With my face turned to the sun
Weight on my shoulders
A bullet in my gun
Oh I got eyes in the back of my head
Just in case I have to run
I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
That's when I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I can feel it in my bones
Early in the mornin'
Before the sun begins to shine
We're gonna start movin'
Towards that separating line
I'm wadin' through muddy waters
You know I got a made up mind
And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
So I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
And I know what's around the bend
Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
And I just might fail
But Lord knows I tried
Sure as stars fill up the sky
Stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on,
I can feel it in my bones.
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
Woke Up This Morning With My Mind Stayed on Freedom

I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free Nina Simone
I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
​
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That everybody should be free
Well I wish I could be
Like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found I could fly
Oh I'd soar to the sun
And look down at the sea
Then I'd sing 'cause I know, yea
Then I'd sing 'cause I know, yea
Then I'd sing 'cause I know
how it feels to be FREE!

Greatest Love of All
Music by Michael Masser, Lyrics by Linda Creed, performed by George Benson and Whitney Houston
​
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest
Love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest
Love of all inside of me
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest
Love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest
Love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

We Are the World. (U.S.A. for Africa)
​
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand
to life, the greatest gift of all
​
We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of a great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
​
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
When you’re down and out,
There seems no hope at all,
But if you just believe,
There’s no way we can fall.
Well, well, let’s realize, change can only come,
When we stand together as one.
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

“Wake Up, Everybody” HAROLD MELVIN AND HTE BLUE NOTES
Wake up everybody

No more backward thinkin'
Time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
There is so much anger,
War and poverty, whoa, oh
Wake up, all the teachers
Time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To what'cha have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up
And the world is in their hands
When you teach the children
Teach 'em the very best you can, whoa
(Chorus) The world won't get no better
If we just let it be,
The world won't get no better
We’ve got to change it, yeah
Just you and me.
[Verse 2]
Wake up, all the builders
Time to build a new land
I know we can do it
If we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do
Is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out
They always do in time, whoa
[Chorus]
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be,
The world won't get no better
We’ve got to change it, yeah
Just you and me.
Just you and me,

Young, gifted and black
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black
Open your heart to what I mean
In the whole world you know
There's a million boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
And that's a fact
"You are young, gifted and black"
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
Yours is the quest that's just begun
When you feelin' really low
Yeah, there's a great truth that you should know
When you're young, gifted and black
Your soul's intact
How to be young, gifted and black?
Oh, how I long to know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth
Oh, but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
"To be young, gifted and black
Is where it's at"
Is where it's at
Is where it's at

That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
a feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
Welcome to Carver, let's live it up!
We’re up here singing, so listen up!
We’re gonna smash it, like “Oh my gosh!”
Jump out that seat, let's kick it, off
I know that we’re having a ball
That today is a special day for us all.
We feel energized and are letting it go,
As we sing and we dance and we put on a show.
Fill up my cup, hip hip hurray,
Look at us dancin’ on this fine day.
Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down
Let's raise the roof, and then we'll do it again
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it,
And do it, do it, do it, do it,
Let's live it up!
And do it and do it, and do it, and do it,
Let's do it, do it, do it, do it,
Let’s live it up!
Here we come, here we go, we gotta rock!
​
Easy come, easy go, now we’re on top!
Feel the shock, body rock, rock it, don't stop!
Round and round, up and down, around the clock!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday
Get, get, get, get, get with us,
You know what we say,
Party every day,
P-p-p-party every day!
I got a feeling (woo-hoo)
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night!

OOh-oh
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
We'll find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it, I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
If you tossin' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Every day I will remind you, oh
We'll find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there

How Far I'll Go
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
I've been staring at the edge of the water
Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go
I know everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea?
It's blinding
But no one knows how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know
What's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know how far I'll go

“Los pollitos”
Los pollitos dicen
pio pio pio
cuando tienen hambre
y cuando tienen frio
la gallina busca
el maíz y el trigo
les da la comida
y les presta abrigo
bajos sus dos alas
acurrucaditos
hasta el otro día
duermen los pollitos
“Que llueva”
Que llueva que llueva
el quetzal esta en la cueva
Que llueva que llueva
el quetzal esta en la cueva
los pajaritos cantan
las nubes se levantan
que si que no que caiga un chaparron
que si que no que caiga un chaparron
Que llueva que llueva
La tortuga esta en la cueva
Que llueva que llueva
La tortuga esta en la cueva
los pajaritos saltan
las nubes se levantan
que si que no que caiga un chaparron
que si que no que caiga un chaparron
Que llueva que llueva
El unicornio esta en la cueva
Que llueva que llueva
El unicornio esta en la cueva
los pajaritos cantan
las nubes se levantan
que si que no que caiga un chaparron
que si que no que caiga un chaparron
Que llueva que llueva
La serpiente esta en la cueva
Que llueva que llueva
La serpiente esta en la cueva
los pajaritos cantan
las nubes se levantan
que si que no que caiga un chaparron
que si que no que caiga un chaparron.

“Recuerdame/Remember Me”
Recuerdame,
Hoy me tengo que ir mi amor,
Recuerdame,
No llores por favor,
Te llevo en mi Corazon y cerca me tendras,
A solas yo te candare,
Soñando en regresar,
Recuerdame,
Aunque tengo que emigrar,
Recuerdame,
Si mi guitarra oyes llorar,
Ella con su triste canto te acompañara,
Hasta que en mis brazos tu estes,
Recuerdame.
Remember me,
Though I have to say goodbye,
Remember me,
Don’t let it make you cry,
For even if I’m far away,
I hold you in my heart,
I sing a secret song to you,
Each night we are apart.
Remember me,
Though I have to travel far,
Remember me,
Each time you hear a sad guitar,
Know that I’m with you,
The only way that I can be,
Until you’re in my arms again,
Remember me.

“Cielito lindo”
De la Sierra Morena
Cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros, cielito lindo
De contrabando
De la Sierra Morena
Cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros, cielito lindo
De contrabando
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ese lunar que tienes
Cielito lindo, junto a la boca
No se lo des a nadie, cielito lindo
Que a mí me toca
Ese lunar que tienes
Cielito lindo, junto a la boca
No se lo des a nadie, cielito lindo
Que a mí me toca
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones

“La Sandunga”
1. Antenoche fui a tu casa, tres golpes le di al candado,
tú no sirves para amores, tienes el sueño pesado.
Ay Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios Amin
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón.
2. A orillas del Papaloapan, me estaba bañando ayer,
pasaste por las orillas y no me quisiste ver.
Ay Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios.
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón.
3. Mosquito no mortifiques con tus cantos mal sonantes,
si me cantas no me piques, si me picas no me cantes.
Ay Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios.
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón.
“De colores”
​
De colores,
De colores se visten los campos en la primavera.
De colores,
De colores son los pajaritos que vienen de afuera.
De colores,
De colores es el arco iris que vemos lucir.
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores
Me gustan a mi. (Repeat)
Canta el gallo,
Canta el gallo con el quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri, qui,
La gallina,
La gallina con el cara, cara, cara, cara, cara,
Los polluelos,
Los polluelos con el pio, pio, pio, pio, pi.
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores
Me gustan a mi. (Repeat)
