"Three Names"

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 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.

Greatest Love of All

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

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

Wake Up

Here's one thing I want you to know
You got someplace to go
Life's a test, yes, but you go toe-to-toe
You don't give up, no, you grow

And you use your pain
'Cause it makes you "you"
Though I wish I could hold you through it

I know it's not the same
You got living to do
And I just want you to do it

So get up, get out, relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up, wake up

So wake that spirit, spirit
I wanna hear it, hear it
No need to fear it, you're not alone
You're gonna find your way, oh

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
When you feel lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up
Mm-mm, wake up

Three Names, George Washington Carver (from Flocabulary)

3 names, George Washington Carver,

The dude knew his stuff!

3 names, George Washington Carver,

The dude knew his stuff!

I said, 3 names, George Washington Carver,

Inventor, teacher, friend to farmers,

Crop rotation with sweet potatoes and peanuts,

When it came to farming George was a genius.

He was the first black student to graduate,

from a science and tech college called Iowa State,

He was a teacher at Tuskegee,

A historical black school, he made a mark like grafitti.

3 names, George Washington Carver,

3 names, George Washington Carver,

The dude knew his stuff!

He even built a school on wheels,

To bring his methods to farmers out in the fields,

He inspired students in science,

George Washington Carver, an agricultural giant.

Carver came up with many inventions,

Like peanut paint and peanut candy,

Peanut soap (clap, clap, clap, clap) it came in handy,

Oo, oo

Three names George Washington Carver,

Inventor, teacher, friend to farmers,

Crop rotation with sweet potatoes and peanuts,

When it came to farming George was a genius,

3 names, George Washington Carver,

The dude knew his stuff!

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.

Start Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare,

the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

"Hope" Adapted from the song by Twista and Faith Hill

We are hopeful, yes we are, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful and we'll make our way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay,
'Cause we hopeful!

I wish that people would just get along,

Let their voices blend together like in this song.

I wish that children had enough to eat,

And that they wouldn't be so hungry when they went to sleep.

I wish that we were free of enemies,

That bullies would support instead of hit and tease

I wish that there would be world peace,

That we wouldn’t have to worry walking in the streets,

We are hopeful, yes we are, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful and we'll make our way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay,
'Cause we hopeful!

I wish that everyone was kind and fair,

That we all could be respectful and learn how to share.

I hope to make it to the NBA,

I know a lot of work and practice goes into the play,

I hope someday I get to go to space,

On a rocket ship I’ll travel to an outer place.

I wish for peace to fill our night and day,

So we all can work together as we find our way.

We are hopeful, yes we are, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful and we'll make our way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay,
'Cause we hopeful!
