Lyrics:

Worry, Worry, Worry

Worry, worry, worry, worry all through the night.
Worry, worry, worry, worry all through the night.
Lyin' in my bed, hopin' things will turn out right.

Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble is on my mind.
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble is on my mind.
Ev'rywhere I look, trouble is all I find.

Sun gonna shine on my backdoor someday!
Sun gonna shine on my backdoor someday!
Wind gonna rise up and blow these blues away!

Worry, worry, worry, worry all through the night.
Worry, worry, worry, worry all through the night.
Lyin' in my bed, hopin' things will turn out right.


Giants in the Sky from Into the Woods

There are giants in the sky! There are big tall terrible giants in the sky!
When you're way up high and you look below
at the world you've left and the things you know,
little more than a glance is enough to show you just how small you are!
When you're way up high and you're on your own
In a world like none that you've ever known,
Where the sky is lead and the earth is stone,
You're free to do whatever pleases you,
Exploring things you'd never dare 'cause you don't care
When suddenly there's a big tall terrible giant at the door!
A big tall terrible lady giant, sweeping the floor.
And she gives you food and she gives you rest
And she draws you close to her giant chest,
And you know things now that you never knew before.
Not till the sky.
Only just when you made a friend and all,
And you know she's big but you don't feel small,
Someone bigger than her comes along the hall to swallow you for lunch!
And your heart is lead and your stomach stone
And you're really scared being all alone.
And it's then that you long for the things you've known
And the world you've left and the little you own
The fun is done you steal what you can and run!
And you scramble down and you look below
And the world you know begins to grow:
The roof, the house, and your mother at the door.
The roof, the house, and the world you never thought to explore.
And you think of all of the things you've seen,
And you wish that you could live in between
And you're back again only different, than before; After the sky!
There are giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible, awesome scary, wonderful giants in the sky!!

Corner of the Sky from Pippin

verse 1

Everything has it's season, everything has its time,

Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme.

Cats fit on the window sill, children fit in the snow.

Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?

chorus

Rivers belong where they can ramble! Eagles belong where they can fly!

I've got to be where my spirit can run free;

Gotta find my corner of the sky!

verse 2

Everyman has his daydreams, everyman has his goals.

People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul.

Rain comes after thunder, winter comes after fall.

Sometimes I think I'm not after anything at all.

chorus

verse 3

And maybe some misty day you'll waken to find me gone

And far away you'll hear me singing to the dawn

And you'll wonder if I'm happy there a little more than I've been

And the answer will come back to you like laugher on the wind!

chorus

Defying Gravity from Wicked

Something has changed within me. Something is not the same.

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game.

Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my insticts, close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try defying gravity, I think I'll try defying gravity,

and you can't pull me down.

I'm through accepting limits, 'cause someone says they're so,

Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost.

Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost...

I'd sooner buy defying gravity, kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity

and you can't pull me down!

So, if you care to find me, look to the western sky

As someone told me lately; everyone deserves a chance to fly!

And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me, take a message back from me...

Tell them how I'm defying gravity, I'm flying high defying gravity

and soon I'll match them in renown.

And nobody in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down!!    Ah!!!!!!

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond

Where it began, I can't begin to know it, 

But then I know it's going strong

Was it the spring, and spring became a summer?

Who'd have believed you'd come along?

Hands, touching hands reaching out, touching me, touching you!

Chorus:

Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good

I'm inclined to believe they never would

but now I'm...

Look at the night, and it don't seem so lonely

We fill it up with only two

And when I hurt, hurting runs off my shoulder

How can I hurt when holding you?

Warm, touching warm reaching out, touching me, touching you!

Chorus twice

I Will Survive  by Gloria Gaynor

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key

If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go, walk out the door

Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Do you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, no I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give

and I'll survive, I will survive  (repeat last four lines) hey hey!

Choir lyrics for fall concert

Take Time In Life

I was passing by my father called to me and he said to me you better take time in life
                                 (mother)                        (she)
                                 (brother)                        (he)
                                 (sister)                           (she)
Better take time in life, better take time in life, better take time in life
Cause you've got long way to go.
Better take time in life, better take time in life, better take time in life
Cause you've got long way to go.

(repeat for each person)

Go To The Carnival

Refrain:

Hey Freddie Freddie! Time to get ready!

Go to the carnival!

Hey Mary Mary! Try not to tarry!

Go to the carnival!

1st verse:

Get out of bed! Wake up instead!

Go to the carnival!

Put on your clothes, pick up your toes!

Go to the carnival!

Repeat refrain

2nd verse:

All Through the Night

1st time:

While the stars are shining brightly 

All through the night.

Earth is sleeping, soft and lightly

All through the night.

Rest until the day is dawning

And the sun all things adorning.

Calls the earth to greet the morning

All through the night.

2nd time:

As the sun is setting, at the end of day

Time to stop our play, at the end of day.

Orange and purple skies are fading in the west,

Now is time for rest, sun is in the west.

Time for sleeping now is creeping.

Darkness is upon us as it's time for bed

Rest your weary head, now is time for bed.

3rd time, both parts together

This Ol' Man

September

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember, the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

And we say
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

The bell was ringing, aha
Our souls were singing
Do you remember
Never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Break it down for me 
Say do you remember
Dancing in september

Ba de ya
Say do you remember
Do you remember?
Ba de ya - dancing in September (Dancing in september)
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Higher and Higher  https://youtu.be/qlST9IT1ESU 

Your love lifted me higher than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, burning with fire, and I'll be at your side forever more
You know your love keep on lifting higher, higher, and higher
You know your love keep on lifting me higher and higher

Now once I was downhearted, disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came, and soon it departed, and it never showed its face again
You know your love keep on lifting higher, higher, and higher
You know your love keep on lifting me higher and higher
