Choir Songs

Woke up this mornin’, I’m feelin’ all right.
A new day is dawnin’. Not a cloud in sight. I’ve got a smile, smile, smile upon my face. And it’s such a bright, bright, bright happy day.

Yesterday’s sorrows are all in the past.
There’s always tomorrow. So they never last. I put a smile, smile, smile upon my face.
And I have a bright, bright, bright happy day. Bright happy day.

Sooner or later the blues come around.
You’ve gotta face ’em. They won’t get you down. If you put a smile, smile, smile upon your face. You’ll have a bright, bright, bright happy day.

You get the message. It’s all up to you.
For worse or for better, you get to choose.
Just put a smile, smile, smile upon your face.
And you’ll have a bright, bright, bright happy day.

So just put a smile, smile, smile upon your face. And you’ll have a bright, bright, bright happy day. Bright happy day.
Bright happy day.
Bright happy day.
Happy day!

‘Leaving On A Jetplane’

Unfortunately, the video is not loading onto the edublog, so please can you listen to the vocal track below and follow the song lyrics underneath the track. 

However, I have been able to upload it to the choir folder on Seesaw, so you can view the video there. 

I’m standing here outside your door.

I have to wake you up to say goodbye.

 

But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn.

The taxi’s waitin, he’s blowing his horn.

Already I’m so lonesome I could die.

 

So kiss me and smile for me.

Tell me that you’ll wait for me.

Hold me like you’ll never let me go.

 

Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane;

Don’t know when I’ll be back again.

Oh babe, I hate to go.

Kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you’ll wait for me. 

Hold me like you’ll never let me go…

 

Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane;

Don’t know when I’ll be back again.

Oh babe, I hate to go.

I hate to go. I hate to go. I hate to go. I hate to go.

Had to have high, high hopes for a living,

Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling.

I was goinna be that one in a million.

Always had high, high hopes.

 

Mama said, “Fulfill the prophecy.

Be something great. Go make a legacy.”

Manifest destiny. Back in the days,

We wanted ev’ry thing, wanted ev’ry thing.

 

Mama said, “Burn your biographies.

Rewrite your history. Light up your wildest dreams.”

Museum victories, every day.

We wanted ev’rything, wanted ev’rything.

 

Mama said, “Don’t give up.

It’s a little complicated.

All tied up, no more love,

And I’d hate to see you waiting.”

 

Had to have high, high hopes for a liviing,

shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing.

Didn’t have a dime, but I always had a vision.

Always had high, high hopes.

 

Had to have high, high hopes for a living,

Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling.

I was goinna be that one in a million.

  1. I got my ticket for the long way ’round
    One bottle o’ pepsi for the way
    And I sure would like some sweet company
    And I’m leavin’ tomorrow, why don’t you stay?

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my hair
You’re gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my walk
You’re gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

The one with the prettiest of views
It’s got mountains, it’s got rivers
It’s got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

You’re gonna miss me by my talk, oh

What else can I do

With all vocals

Backing track

PS choir’s part with Ms. Keus’ voice (shouting out of part 1 words)

I just made something unexpected
Something sharp, something new
It’s not symmetrical or perfect
But it’s beautiful and it’s mine
What else can I do?
                                Bring it in, bring it in
Good talk,
                                bring it in, bring it in 
Let’s walk,
                                bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs,
                               bring it in, bring it in
I grow rows and rows of roses
Flor de mayo, by the mile
You make perfect, practiced poses
So much hides behind my smile
What could I do if I just grew what I was feelin’ in the moment?
                               Do you know where you’re going?
Whoa
What could I do if I just knew it didn’t need to be perfect?
It just needed to be? And they’d let me be?
A hurricane of jacarandas
                               Strangling figs
Big!
                               Hanging vines
This is fine!
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else can I do?
Can I de
DO liver us a river of sundew?
OOH Careful, it’s car
OOH nivorous, a little just won’t do
OOH
I wanna feel the
DO shiver of something new
OOH I’m so sick of pretty, I want something true, don’t
you?
You just seem like your life’s been a dream
Since the moment you opened your eyes
All I know are the blossoms you grow
But it’s awesome to see how you rise
How far can you rise?
Through the roof, to the skies
Let’s go
                        A hurricane of jacarandas
(woo)
Strangling figs
(go),
                         hanging vines
(grow)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else, what else?
                         What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?
Seize the moment, keep goin’
What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect?
But I’ll still be okay
                         Hey, everybody clear the way,
Whoo!
I’m comin’ through with tabebuia
                               She’s comin’ through with that boo-yeah
Making waves
                       making waves,
changing minds
                      You’ve changed mine
The way is clearer ’cause you’re here, and well
I owe this all to you
What else can I do?
                          Show ’em what you can do
What else can I do?
                          There’s nothing you can’t do
What else can I do?

Deep in the heart,

We are as one

And not apart.

 

All (backing throughout verse 2 in harmony):

Ooo

 

  1. The heavens open and it starts to rain,

The sky like tears against the window pane.

But I am here inside and safe from the storm,

and safe from the storm,

The fire you left in me will keep me warm.

will keep me warm.

Seven (4B)

If you love somebody
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
They may just run away from you

Cindy (5B)

You’ll never know what went well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you

 

I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving

 

Now take it in but don’t look down

 

‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world

 

Vanessa (5B)

I’ve tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something

Qiqi (5C)

I could of gave up then but
Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
I’ve traveled all this way for something

Now take it in but don’t look down

 

‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

 

‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay

Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child

And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up and you make your round
But get up now, get up, get up now

 

And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up and you make your round
Get up now, get up, get up now

 

‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay

Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt

Been dreaming of this since a child

心底的孤独和叹息

每当我迷失在黑夜里

每当我找不到存在的意义

Silent night

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant, tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Jesus, Lord at thy birth.

Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven above
Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

 

Away in a manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.
And stay by my side till morning is nigh.

 

We three kings

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Following yonder star.

Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Following yonder star.

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Following yonder star.

 

Joy to the world

Joy to the world! The Lord is come

Let earth receive her King!

Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven, and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world! the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods

Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders and wonders of His love

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

 

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history

We wish you a Merry Christmas

 

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
And a cup of good cheer

We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
So bring it right here

So bring us some figgy pudding
So bring us some figgy pudding
So bring us some figgy pudding
And bring it right here

Good tidings we bring
To you and your king
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.

Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,

Now when I was a baby, a little, bitty baby, I learned my ABC’s.

I learned about my colors, and my numbers, and my letters. It came to easy for me.

All I had to do was put it to the music. All I had to do was sing it in a song.

All I had to do was get it in my head, and then my heartbeat (thump thump) followed along with my  bones.

Peacefully the flakes of white

are falling down on us tonight.

Stay in by the fireside

or bundle up and go outside.

 

Down the road upon a sleigh,

just having fun this winter day.

Down a hill upon a sled

then snuggle in a winter bed.

 

Falling down, down, down, down.

Falling down, down, down.

Part 1 Shining through

 

Solo 1

You with the sad eyes

Don’t be discouraged, oh I realize

It’s hard to take courage

 

Duet

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

The darkness there inside you

Makes you feel so small

 

ALL

But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that’s why I love you

 

So don’t be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow (canon in 2 parts)

 

Solo

Show me a smile then

Don’t be unhappy

Can’t remember when

I last saw you laughing

 

Duet

If this world makes you crazy

And you’ve taken all you can bare

Then call me up

Because you know I’ll be there

 

ALL

And I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that’s why I love you

 

So don’t be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow (canon in 2 parts)

 

I see your true colors.
