“United We Stand” - Lisa (Original)

THERE IS A GAPING

HOLE IN THE SKY

WHERE THE TOWERS ONCE STOOD

SO PROUD AND SO HIGH

THERE IS A SADNESS

ACROSS THE LAND THAT

PEOPLE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND

THE HEART OF OUR COUNTRY

LAID DOWN TO REST

THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS PUT TO THE TEST

CHORUS

UNITED WE STAND.

WE TRY NOT TO FALL

ALL FOR ONE AND

ONE FOR ALL

WE WALK TOWARDS THE FUTURE

HAND IN HAND

WE HOLD OUR HEADS UP HIGH

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR LAND.

V2.

AMERICANS WE ARE

AND WE ALWAYS SHALL BE

I LOVE YOU AND YOU LOVE ME

OUR FAITH WILL ALWAYS

KEEP US FREE

THE LORD HAS OPENED UP

OUR EYES TO SEE

AND WE’LL FIGHT TO THE END

IN THE NAME OF

GOD AND LIBERTY.

CHORUS

UNITED WE STAND

WE TRY NOT TO FALL

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL

WE WALK TOWARDS THE FUTURE

HAND IN HAND

WE HOLD OUR HEADS UP HIGH

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR LAND

BRIDGE

WE ARE AMERICANS

WE HOLD ON TO

OUR BIBLE AND GOD

OUR FAITH IS STRONG

OUR LOVE IS TRUE

WE WILL ALWAYS

BLEED THE

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ,YAH

GUITAR SOLO

FINAL CHORUS,

UNITED WE STAND

WE TRY NOT TO FALL

ALL FOR ONE

AND ONE FOR ALL

WE WALK TOWARDS THE FUTURE

HAND IN HAND

WE HOLD OUR HEADS UP HIGH

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR LAND

WE ARE AMERICANS

ALWAYS THERE TO LEND A HAND

CAUSE FOREVER UNITED WE STAND…… ….

“Shadow Me” - Lindsay Stirling

[Verse 1]
I pirouette in the dark
I see the stars through a mirror
Tired mechanical heart
Beats 'til the song disappears

[Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me

[Verse 2]
If only the clockwork could speak
I wouldn't be so alone
We burn every magnet and spring
And spiral into the unknown

[Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me

[Post-Chorus]
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me

[Bridge]
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
(Only, only, only, only, only)

“Faith” - By George Michael

Well, I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you
But I gotta think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I played them too

Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh, when that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showin' you the door

'Cause I gotta' have faith
I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I got to have faith, faith, faith

Baby, I know you're askin' me to stay
Say, "Please, please, please don't go away"
You say I'm givin' you the blues
Maybe (Huh) you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh, baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for somethin' more

Yes I gotta have faith
Ooh, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

I'll just have to wait
Because I've got to have faith
I gotta have faith
I've got to, got to, got to have faith

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh, oh, baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for somethin' more

'Cause I gotta' have faith
Ooh, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

“Lean on Me” - Bill Withers

Hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow

But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show

You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry

I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me
If you need a friend
(call me)
Call me (call me)
If you need a friend
(call me)
If you ever need a friend
(call me)
Call me
(call me) Call me
(call me) Call me
(call me) Call me
(call me)

If you need a friend
(call me)
Call me
(call me) Call me
(call me) Call me
(call me) Call me
(call me)

“Hero” - Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There’s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

[Chorus]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

[Verse 2]
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

[Chorus]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

[Bridge]
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

[Chorus]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

[Outro]
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you

“This is Me” - from Camp Rock

I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star?
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be, yeah
This is me

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
(This is me, yeah) You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found who I am

There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Monster Mash - Bobby Pickett

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster, from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise

he did the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
(He did the Mash) it caught on in a flash
(He did the Mash) he did the Monster Mash

From my laboratory in the Castle east
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

they did the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
(They did the Mash) it caught on in a flash
(They did the Mash) they did the Monster Mash

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf-Man, Dracula, and his son

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five

they played the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
(They played the Mash) it caught on in a flash
(They played the Mash) they played the Monster Mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

it's now the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) and it's a graveyard smash
(It's now the Mash) it's caught on in a flash
(It's now the Mash) it's now the Monster Mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this Mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

then you can Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) and do my graveyard smash
(Then you can Mash) you'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can Mash) then you can Monster Mash

Mash good!
Easy, Igor, you impetuous, young boy
Mash good! (Monster Mash)

“Time of Your Life” - Kayko

We had magic didn't we
We were flying up so high in the air
We couldn't breathe
It was everything
Remember driving in the rain
When we dreamed a house and named our kids
And we'd never say
We'd get older

Sometimes it doesn't work out
Your feet come back to the ground
And she says she needs to find herself

Have the time of your life my dear
I hope you find what you're looking for
Have the time of your life my dear
You've got the whole world to explore
If you like your time in Candyland
I won't be waiting here for you
Have the Time
Of your life
My Dear
Have the time of your life
My Dear
Have the time of your life
My Dear

I thought this would be our year
The dream was bright but midnight strikes
And you disappeared
Just like that
We were great but then again
The way you talked forever
Was it all pretend
Or did you just change

Sometimes it doesn't work out
She leaves your heart on the ground
And she says she needs to find herself

Have the time of your life my dear
Hope you're feeling alive my dear
Are we happy tonight Nashville?

Let's do this one more time, with feeling
