Choir
Hey Choir!
Here are the three songs we are doing at the moment.
——————————
Lean on Me by Bill Withers lyrics (see for this link for lyric video with music – note we are skipping some parts, use below lyrics for our arrangement)
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
‘Til 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
‘Til 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
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
‘Til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on

Just Like Fire by P!nk lyrics (our own arrangement – see Full version lyric video here and Karaoke video here) Sung unless in italics (which means rap/spoken). Directions in brackets {}.
I know that I’m running out of time
I want it all, mmm, mmm
And I’m wishing they’d stop tryna turn me off
I want it on, mmm, mmm
And I’m walking on a wire, trying to go higher
Feels like I’m surrounded by clow-owns and liars
Even when I give it all away
I want it all, mmm, mmm
{Spoken} We came here to run it, run it, run it, We came here to run it, run it, run it
Just like fire, burning out the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like magic, I’ll be flying free
I’mma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire {note: don’t do “uh” here}
And people like to laugh at you cause they are all the same, mmm, mmm
See I would rather we just go our different way than play the game mm, mm
And no matter the weather, we can do it better
You and me together, forever and ever
We don’t have to worry bout’ a thing, bout’ a thing, no
{Spoken} We came here to run it, run it, run it, We came here to run it, run it, run it
Just like fire, burning out the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like magic, I’ll be flying free
I’mma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, fire
{Spoken} We came here to run it, run it, run it
{Rap} So look I came here to run it
Just cause nobody’s done it
Y’all don’t think I can run it
But look, I’ve been here, I’ve done it
Impossible? Please
Watch, I do it with ease
You just gotta believe
Come on, come on with me
Just like fire, burning out the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, burning out the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like magic, I’ll be flying free
I’mma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, fire
{Spoken} Run it!
Just like fire
{Spoken} Run it, run it!
“Fly Away” by Krys Talk (our own arrangement – see backing track here)
Take me away from home
Show me all the places I’ve never known
And we’ll chase the night
Erase all of these broken dreams and flight
And we’ll fly
And we’ll fly
away, away, away
Yeah, I will fly
I will fly
Fly away, away, away fly away
Away, away, away
Yeah I will fly
Up here we’re free
Bound only by frozen memories
Lost it inside
Erasing all these broken dreams tonight
And we’ll fly
And we’ll fly
away, away, away
Yeah, I will fly
I will fly
Fly away, away, away fly away
Away, away, away
Yeah I will fly

I never miss a beat
I’m lightnin’ on my feet
And that’s what they don’t see, mm-mm
That’s what they don’t see, mm-mm
{M only} I’m dancin’ on my own {everyone} (dancin’ on my own)

Just think, while you’ve been gettin’ down and out about the liars
And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could’ve been gettin’ down to this sick beat
{Rap: E & A only this paragraph} My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She’s like, “Oh my God!” but I’m just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won’t you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake (* yeah)
Yeah, oh, oh
{Singing, everyone} ‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (* haters gonna hate)
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
