Open Mic Night Lyrics - January 15, 2025

“The Best Thing to Give” - Daniel Trush and Gerry Powers

This is the season of gladness and cheer

When we pass the time with friends who are dear

Please don’t spend your money on me this year

I have everything that I need right here

‘Cause unending kindness, compassionate presence

Kind generosity, thorough acceptance,

Loving attention that comes from the heavens -

These are the things that make beautiful presents

This season the best thing to give is a smile

It keeps the world turning, makes living worthwhile

So bring your joy right out on into the street

And share all the love in your heart with the people you meet

Being with you always gives me a lift

Your friendship is such a wonderful gift

When I see the joy in your sparkling eyes

It makes feel like I have won the grand prize

A smile is joy that is being released,

the beginning of friendships, the foundation of peace

Smiles can create opportunities

that open doors to possibilities,

Within my heart I have an old treasure chest

Where I keep the things that are cherished and blessed

I carefully open it and what do I find

Your smiling face, so loving and kind

“Believe” - from The Polar Express

Children sleeping
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling
Likes bells in the distance
We were dreamers
Not so long ago
But one by one, we
All had to grow up

When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe

Trains move quickly
To their journey's end
Destinations
Are where we begin again
Ships go sailing
Far across the sea
Trusting starlight
To get where they need to be

When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day

If you just believe
Just believe
Just believe

“White Christmas” - Michael Buble

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, oh, the snow

I said, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white
(Let's go, sticks, let's go)

I said, I'm dreaming of a white, oh, Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And the children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white
(Come on now, woo)
(J-man, up, up, up)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white

“Joy to the World” - Traditional

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

We will sing, sing, sing
Joy to the world
We will sing, sing, 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

We will sing, sing, sing
Joy to the world
We will sing, sing, sing

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, wonders of His love

Joy to the world
We will sing, sing, sing

Joyful, joyful we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
And hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Opening to the sun above

“Girl on Fire” - Alicia Keys

She's just a girl and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy
Lonely like a highway
She's livin' in a world and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe
But she knows she can fly away

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burnin' it down
Oh-oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backin' down

[Chorus]
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire
This girl is on fire

[Verse 2]
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try, but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls, say

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burnin' it down
Oh-oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not comin' down

[Chorus]
This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

[Bridge]
(Oh) Everybody stares as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lightin' up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

[Chorus]
This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
She's just a girl and she's on fire

“As Long As You Love Me” - Backstreet Boys

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (I don't know)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (yeah)
As long as you love me
As long as you love me

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin' from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did (yeah)
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
As long as you love me
Who you are
As long as you love me
What you did (I don't care)
As long as you love me

“Killer Tofu” - The Beets

Fast food feels fuzzy
Cause it's made from stuff that's scuzzy
I always thought I was such a nerd
I refused to touch that strange bean curd
I wouldn't eat it -ow- but it ate you

Aw-wee-oo
Killer Tofu
Eee-aw-wee Iee-oo
Killer Tofu

I eat my sugared cereal
But it makes my teeth bacterial
Ee-awee-oo EE-awee
If you're feeling kind of cruddy
Just stick right by your buddy
And don't eat t-t-t-t-t-t-too much fried food -ow-
Aw-wee-oo
Killer Tofu
Eee-aw-wee Iee-oo
Killer Tofu

“Remember That Time” - James Ian

Verse One Roll the windows down I think I need some air,

Let this old dirt road take me anywhere,

Tonight I'll leave it all behind

Leave it so far gone it'll be hard to find,

They all knew this day would come,

When I'd rise to face the sun,

There's a big ol' world and it's calliln' my name,

Steady my hands and then take aim,

Chorus

All I know is I'll make my mark, With all my soul, and all my heart,

One day I'll look back and say, "Remember that time, you made your way?"

Verse Two

There are some who say it can't be done, ooh ooh ooh ooh

They say ya gotta walk before you run, ooh ooh ooh

I must go this road alone, but I'll make it on my own.

Chorus

All I know is I'll make my mark,

With all my soul, and all my heart,

One day I'll look back and say, "Remember that time, you made your way?"

Remember That Time?

Bridge

Heaven knows, there'll be some nights, When it'll feel like there's no end in sight,

And although the road is long, I'll dig deep and carry on.

Chorus

All I know is I'll make my mark, With all my soul, and all my heart,

One day I'll look back and say, "Ahh Remember that time, you made your way?"

Remember That Time? Oh remember that time, yea!

Remember That Time? Yea, Remember That Time?

You made your way, You made your way, I made my way, yea!

Remember That Time? Remember That Time?

Remember that time, you made your way? Ooh.
