Transcription

1 Song 1: Life is a Wonderful Thing I woke up this morning, got out of my bed, Looked in the mirror and I got myself dressed With a stretch and a yawn and a scratch of my head Life is a wonderful thing I said, Life is a wonderful thing... My heart is beating morning til evening I ve got the breath of life inside My heart is dreaming I ve got the feeling It s so lovely when you know you re alive! I went out this morning and what did I see? Buds and blossoms and the birds in the trees With a skip and a whistle a thought came to me Life is a wonderful thing indeed, Life is a wonderful thing... My heart is beating... I stayed in this morning with little to do Mum said Son, you d better tidy your room Then a friend came to see me and I was excused Life is a wonderful thing it s true, Life is a wonderful thing... My heart is beating... I woke up this morning and here s what I thought What surprises will I find at my door? With a new day before me and plenty in store Life is a wonderful thing for sure, Life is a wonderful thing... Life is a wonderful thing uh huh, Life is a wonderful thing Yeah!

3 Song 3: Water, don t waste it big breath breath only if absolutely have to Drip, Drop, raindrops on your face It s a wonder for the human race Drip, Drop, raindrops from the sky It s a miracle sent to us from high Falling onto mountain tops, it journeys endlessly; Forming streams and rivers to make a mighty sea Chorus: Water, don t waste it or you ll never taste it, Without precious water all people would die Water, don t waste it or you ll never taste it, Without precious water all people would die... Drip, Drop, raindrops on your window panes, Making little puddles in our town and country lanes Drip, Drop, raindrops, umbrellas ev rywhere, People hurry to and fro, hardly seem to care From the river on it flows from waterworks to sink; Cleaning all the harmful germs so we can safely drink... Chorus: Water, don t waste... Drip, Drop, raindrops, rainbows in the sky. It s so marvellous, just there for you and I. Drip, Drop, raindrops down our chimney pots, While we re safely tucked in bed its journey never stops. Water from our factories and from our houses too, Passes through the sewers and comes out good as new... Chorus: Water, don t waste... Coda: Drip, drop, rain drops in the air, May it never cease to fall upon our earth so fair! Drip, drop, drip, drop, drip, drop, drip, drop.

4 Song 4 Catch me if you can big breath breath only if absolutely have to Can you hear the wind, rushing through the town, Shaking all the window panes and blowing branches down? Roaring round the corners, bending ev ry tree, Blowing round the chimney pots and chasing after me! Chorus: Catch me if you can, for I m the wind and I am strong, I can rule the earth with the power of my song, There are no ways to tie me down, I am free!... Try and catch me! When the wind flies seaward, tossing up the foam, Whipping through the waves and driving seagulls to their home, Then the spray is flying, waves are turning white, Wind and sea are locked in battle, who will win the fight? Chorus: Catch me if you can... Can you feel the wind cold against your face, Catching at your breath as it continues with its chase? Sometimes bringing thunder, maybe bringing rain, Always unexpected as it comes and goes again. Chorus: Catch me if you can, for I m the wind and I am strong, I can rule the earth with the power of my song, There are no ways to tie me down, I am free!... Try and catch me! Try and catch...me!

5 Song 5: Child of tomorrow big breath breath only if absolutely have to Here in the wasteland a small flower is growing. Its life seems so fragile, its beauty so rare. A lonely survivor amid man s destruction. A hope for the future, a dream we all share.... Chorus: Will you be wiser oh child of tomorrow? Will you remember the price that we paid? How will you cherish this earth which we leave you? What will you learn from the child of today?... Lost mid the ruins, two children are hiding. Beneath broken windows they play with a gun. Surrounded by soldiers, their city is dying. The world turns its back and the conflict goes on... Chorus: Will you be wiser... Still now and silent, a baby is lying. Too weak now for crying, too hungry to care. Beside him his mother is watching and waiting. How many must die while the world learns to share?... Chorus: Will you be wiser...

6 Song 6: Morning Song Traces of light, the heavens are brightening Darkness recedes, dawn has begun; Morning is here like a friend come to help me, To calm me, to cheer me, to lead me on... Black was the night, troubles tormenting me; Shadows and gloom haunting my mind. Now with the dawn all the shadows are fading: The morning revives me, and leads me on... Leads me on...and refreshes my spirit, Leads me on and emboldens my soul, Chasing away the fears of the night Sweet is the air, bright is the greenery, Cool is the dew renewing the earth; Morning is here like a friend come to help me, To calm, to cheer me, to lead... me... on...

7 Song 7: Can you hear me? I look around me as I grow, I d like to tell you all I know I see life with all its energy, the city streets, the rush of time This is my world it s where I like to be, so much to see, so much to find I sometimes sit and wait a while, I see the sun, it makes me smile U: Can you see it? Can you see it too? L: Can you see it? Can you see it too? U: Can you see it? Can you see it too? L: Can you see it? Can you see it too? I feel life with all its energy, the joy of wak ing ev ry day This is my world it s where I like to be, so much to do, so much to say I sometimes sit and feel the sun, its warmth is there for ev ryone U: Can you feel it? Can you feel it too? L: Can you feel it? Can you feel it too? U: Can you feel it? Can you feel it too? L: Can you feel it? Can you feel it too? My world s a silent one, but it s enough for me I hear you through your hands, the movement sets me free But it could be a special thing to hear your voice, to hear you sing U: Can you hear me? Can you hear me too? L: Can you hear me? Can you hear me too? U: Can you hear me? Can you hear me too? L: Can you hear me? Can you hear me too? I look around me as I grow, I d like to tell you all I know Can you hear me?

Will we ever stop polluting the rivers and the seas? Will we ever stop destroying the forests and the trees? Chorus... Do we care about the tiger? And will we save the whale? Can we really say we re trying, or are we bound to fail? Chorus... With our poison or detergent, insecticide or spray, Are we killing our tomorrow by living for today? Chorus... When will we learn?... V2 L: When will we learn?... When will we learn? V1 U: that the world wasn t made...for only you and me? V2 L:..wasn t made for only you and me? When will it be?...

9 Song 9: You can look in a book for your heroes You don t have to know us to know we are heroes We live and we die and we stand on our feet We ve always been here through the good and the bad years We are queens of the common and kings of the street Chorus: You can look in a book for your heroes You can hide from today in the past Your future is waiting before you A hero is lodged in your heart. We are your heroes although you don t see us The wars that we fight have an ev ryday cost We aren t in stained windows but we are your heroes And we ll fight for our children the future we ve lost. Chorus: You can look in a book... Coda: A hero is lodged in your heart
