"Circle of Life"                             Performed by Grade 1

Song by Elton John

 

From the day we arrive on the planet

And, blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

Some say, "Eat or be eaten"

Some say, "Live and let live"

But all are agreed as they join the stampede,

You should never take more than you give.

 

It's the circle of life,

It's the wheel of fortune,

It's the leap of faith,

It's the band of hope,

'Til we find our place,

On the path unwinding,

In the circle,

The circle of life.

Some of us fall by the wayside,

And some of us soar to the stars,

And some of us sail through our troubles,

And some have to live with the scars.

There's far too much to take in here,

More to find than can ever be found,

But the sun rolling high,

Through the sapphire sky,

Keeps great and small on the endless round.

 

It's the circle of life,

It's the wheel of fortune,

It's the leap of faith,

It's the band of hope,

'Til we find our place,

On the path unwinding,

In the circle,

The circle of life.

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love"                 Performed by Grade 2

Song by Freddie Mercury

This thing called love

I just can't handle it

This thing called love

I must get 'round to it

I ain't ready

Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)

It cries (like a baby), in a cradle all night

It swings (woo), it jives (woo)

Shakes all over like a jellyfish

I kinda like it

Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby

She knows how to rock and roll

She drives me crazy

She gives me hot and cold fever

She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax

Get hip and get on my tracks

Take a back seat, hitchhike

And take a long ride on my motorbike

Until I'm ready

Crazy little thing called love

Yeah

I gotta be cool, relax

Get hip and get on my tracks

Take a back seat, hitchhike

And take a long ride on my motorbike

Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)

Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love

I just can't handle it

This thing called love

I must get 'round to it

I ain't ready

Crazy little thing called love

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

"Flowers"                               Performed by Grades 3/4

Song by Miley Cyrus

 

We were good, we were gold

Kinda dream that can't be sold

We were right 'til we weren't

Built a home and watched it burn

Mm, I didn't wanna leave you, I didn't wanna lie

Started to cry, but then remembered I

I can buy myself flowers

Write my name in the sand

Talk to myself for hours

Say things you don't understand

I can take myself dancing

And I can hold my own hand

Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Paint my nails cherry red

Match the roses that you left

No remorse, no regret

I forgive every word you said

Ooh, I didn't wanna leave you, baby, I didn't wanna fight

Started to cry, but then remembered I

I can buy myself flowers

Write my name in the sand

Talk to myself for hours, yeah

Say things you don't understand

I can take myself dancing, yeah

I can hold my own hand

Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Can love me better, I- (ooh, I)

I didn't wanna leave you, I didn't wanna fight

Started to cry, but then remembered I

I can buy myself flowers (uh-huh)

Write my name in the sand

Talk to myself for hours (yeah)

Say things you don't understand (you never will)

I can take myself dancing, yeah

I can hold my own hand

Yeah, I can love me better than

Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (oh, oh)

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (than you can)

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Can love me better, I-

Don't you know

They're talking about a revolution?

It sounds like a whisper

Don't you know

Talking about a revolution?

It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines

Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation

Wasting time in the unemployment lines

Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know

Talking about a revolution?

It sounds like a whisper

Poor people gonna rise up

And get their share

Poor people gonna rise up

And take what's theirs

Don't you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run

Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin' 'bout a revolution

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh

I've been standing in the welfare lines

Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation

Wasting time in the unemployment lines

Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know

Talking about a revolution?

It sounds like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin' 'bout a revolution

Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no, Talkin’ 'bout a revolution, oh, no

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no

Song by Holly Near

 

 

We are gentle angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are gentle angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives


We are a land of many colors
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a land of many colors
And we are singing, singing for our lives


We are young and old together
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are young and old together
And we are singing, singing for our lives


We are queer and straight together
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are gay and straight together
And we are singing, singing for our lives

 

We are gentle loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are gentle loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
