Open Mic Night Lyrics - March 25, 2026

“Piano Man”, Billy Joel

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

La, la-la, di-di-da
La-la, di-di-da, da-dum

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la, di-di-da, da-dum

Now Paul is a real-estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Sing us the song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la, di-di-da, da-dum

Sing us the song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

“Don’t Stop Believin’”, Journey

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night

Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some'll win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night

Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people

“Beyond”, Moana

I know these stars above the ocean
Now new skies call me by name
And suddenly, nothing feels the same
I know the path that must be chosen
But this is bigger than before
Winds have changed, tides turn me far away from shore

What waits for me
Forever far from home
From everything
And everyone I've ever known?

What lies beyond
Under skies I've never seen?
Will I losе myself between
My home and what's unknown?
If I go bеyond
Leaving all I love behind
With the future of our people still to find
Can I go beyond?

There is destiny in motion
And it's only just begun
Now will this life I've worked so hard for come undone?

They're calling me
I must reply
But if I leave
How could I ever say goodbye?

[MOANA & VOYAGERS]
What lies beyond (E mafai he mafai e)
On the vast, uncharted sea? (E mafai he mafai e)
Will I lose myself between (E mafai he mafai e)
All that we know right here (E mafai he mafai e)
What's out there beyond? (E mafai he mafai e)
Leaving all I love behind (E mafai he mafai e)
With the future of our people still to find (E mafai he mafai e)
(E mafai he mafai e) Can I go beyond?

[MOANA]
If I'm not here to hold her hand
Will she grow to understand?

[GRAMMA TALA]
I'll always be right beside you
But, perhaps, you're meant for more

[GRAMMA TALA, spoken]
I can't see where your story leads
But we never stop choosing who we are

[MOANA]
I'll go beyond
And although I don't know when
I will reach these sands again
'Cause I know who I am

[MOANA & VOYAGERS]
I am Moana (E mafai he mafai e)
Of the land and of the sea (Olo ake ake)
And I promise that is who I'll always be (E mafai he mafai e, ake ake)
I must go, I will go, then we'll know (Fakamalohi, talitonuga, te nofoaga)
What lies beyond

"Fires", Jordan Sr. Cyr

I remember how You told me
That life may not be easy
And everything that I need
You've already given me

I remember how You told me
I can trust You completely
So why am I doubting
When You proved that You'd fight for me

You've walked me through fires
Pulled me from flames
If You're in this with me
I won't be afraid

When the smoke billows higher, oh and higher
And it feels like I can barely breathe
I'll walk through these fires
'Cause You're walking with me

I'm changed by Your mercy
Covered by Your peace
I'm living out the victory
Doesn't mean I won't feel the heat

You've walked me through fires
Pulled me from flames
If You're in this with me
I won't be afraid

When the smoke billows higher, oh and higher
And it feels like I can barely breathe
I'll walk through these fires
'Cause You're walking with me

I can face anything
'Cause You're here with me
I can do all things
'Cause You strengthen me

I remember how You showed me
The price of my redemption
Lord, how could I question
When You proved that You'd die for me

You've walked me through fires
Pulled me from flames
If You're in this with me
I won't be afraid

When the smoke billows higher, oh and higher
And it feels like I can barely breathe
I'll walk through these fires
'Cause You're walking with me
I'll walk through these fires
'Cause You're walking with me

Gotta Find You, from Camp Rock

[Verse 1]
Every time I think I'm closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand

[Pre-Chorus]
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far?

[Chorus]
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singin'
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
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
You're the remedy I'm searching, hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams, the color of your smile
When I find you, it will be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far?

[Chorus]
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singin'
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

[Bridge]
Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say
Spending all my time stuck in yesterday
Where you are is where I wanna be
Oh, next to you
And you next to me
Oh, I need to find you, yeah

[Chorus]
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singin'
I need to find you (I need to find you)
I gotta find you, yeah, yeah
You're the missing piece, I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you (I gotta find you)

[Chorus]
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singin'
I need to find you (I need to find you)
I gotta 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

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
I gotta find you

“Landslide”, Fleetwood Mac

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh! I'm getting older too

Oh-oh, take my love, take it down
Oh-oh, climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down

“Ridin’ Solo”, Jason Derulo

Mm, yeah, yeah
Yeah (J-J-J-J-JR), yeah, yeah

I'm feelin' like a star, you can't stop my shine

I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo (yeah)

Yeah, I'm feeling good tonight
Finally doing me and it feels so right, oh
Time to do the things I like

Hey Soul Sister, Train

Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey

Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind

Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey

Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny

I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of

You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact, there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know

Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey (tonight)

Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey (tonight)

His Darling Wife, Persephone

When I first saw him, √

the flowers were in bloom,√

A young, handsome prince,√

from the window of my room √

My heart began to beat √

As he was riding past √

And I began to dream √

Of a love . . . . √

that will last

He’s tall and handsome √

He looks so sweet and kind, √

Charming and gentle √

Forever he’ll be mine √

For him I have been waiting

For my whole life

To fall deeply in love

To be . . . . his darling wife

The castle on the mountain

My prince will know

He will come to find me

Through the winter snow

“Come with me, my love!”

My sweet prince will say,

On his bended knee,

“Will you marry me today?”

For him I have been waiting

For my whole life

To fall deeply in love

To be his darling wife

(Repeat chorus)

Keep on Movin’, Five

I woke up today with this feeling
That better things are coming my way
And if the sunshine has a meaning
It's telling me not to let things get in my way

When the rainy days are dying
Gotta keep on, keep on trying
All the bees and birds are flying (ah-ah-ah)
Never let go, gotta hold on in
Non-stop 'til the break of dawn and
Keep movin' don't stop rockin' (ah-ah-ah)

Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it's not much, but it's okay
We'll keep on movin' on anyway

Feels like I should be screaming
Tryna get it through to my friends, uh
Sometimes it feels like life has no meaning
But I know things will be alright in the end

When the rainy days are dying
Gotta keep on, keep on trying
All the bees and birds are flying (ah-ah-ah)
Never let go, gotta hold on in
Non-stop 'til the break of dawn and
Keep movin' don't stop rockin' (ah-ah-ah)

Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it's not much, but it's okay
We'll keep on movin' on anyway

When the rainy days are dying
Gotta keep on, keep on tryin'
All the bees and birds are flying (ah-ah-ah)
Never let go, gotta hold on in
Non-stop 'til the break of dawn and
Keep movin' don't stop rockin' (ah-ah-ah)

Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it's not much, but it's okay
We'll keep on movin' on anyway

Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it's not much, but it's okay
We'll keep on movin' on anyway

Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it's not much, but it's okay
We'll keep on movin' on anyway

Get on up when you're down (keep on movin')
Baby, take a good look around (keep on movin')
I know it's not much, but it's okay (keep on movin')
We'll keep on movin' on anyway (keep on movin')

Get on up (keep on movin')
(Keep on movin')
(Keep on movin')
(Keep on movin')
I know it's not much (keep on movin')
(Keep on movin')
(Keep on movin')
(Keep on movin')
Get on up (keep on movin')
(Keep on movin'...)
