We Are The World

Solo 1: There comes a time when we heed a certain call, 
Solo 2: When the world must come together as one.
Solo 3: There are people dying, and it's time to lend a hand. 
Solo 4: To life, the greatest gift of all.

Solo 5: We can't go on, pretending day by day, 
Solo 6: That someone, somehow will soon make a change
Solo 7: We are all a part of God's great big family 
Solo 8: And the truth, you know love is all we need

K-4 students We are the world, We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making, We're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me.

Solo 9: Well, Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
Solo 10: So their cries for help will not be in vain.
Solo 11:  We can't let them suffer, no we cannot turn away, 
Solo 12: Right now they need a helping hand.
 
K-4 students We are the world, We are the children,
& Choir
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making, We're saving our own lives,
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me.

Solo 13: When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all,
Solo 14: But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Solo 15: Well, let us realize, that a change can only come, 
Solo 16: When we stand together as one

All students As one (don’t forget the key change!)

When you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
  When the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
  When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on

Rap 2: DYKES We are the World united by love so strong
When the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
  A guided light on the dark road your walking on
  A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone

Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone
  We are the World connected by a common bond

Basin Street Blues

Basin Street Blues

Won’tcha come along with me,
to the Mississippi.
We’ll take the boat to the land of dreams,
Steam down the river down to New Orleans.

Part 1 The band’s there to meet us,
Part 2 (They’re all there to meet us,)
Part 1 old friends to greet us.
Part 2 (they’re all there to greet us.)
All We’ll see the place where the folks all meet;
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street.

Basin Street is the street
where the elite will always meet
In New Orleans, land of dreams,
You'll never know who nice it seems
or just how much it really means.

Glad to be, yes, siree, 
where welcome’s free, dear to me,
Where I can lose my Basin Street Blues.

(Solo/solos)
Basin Street is where we’ll always meet.
Ya gotta go there to meet the elite.
Down ’n Orleans; the land of dreams.
You know what I mean.

(All)
Glad to be; yes siree,
Where welcome’s free, dear to me.
Where I can lose
Part 2 My Basin Street Blues
Part 1 We’ll take the boat to the land of dreams


All My Basin Street blues. Yeah!

We Know The Way

We Know The Way 

(phonetical version)



Tot toe o ten-ya-ta foal-low
a-howl-ee-nwa
le-two oh sami tell-le….eh o mei
ew-wah-vwa eh la luey ta wah lay
tah pen yah pen-yah

Away away
new coo ee moo wah
tay mahn ew lay lay ay ta tah key ay 
away away
tef fa new ta maul ee ay
nah ay ko hockey lee ah  kah ee gah ay 

We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high,
We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze.
At night, we name every star
We know where we are.
We know who we are, who we are.

Away, away!
We set a course to find
A brand new island everywhere we roam,
Away, away!
We keep our island in our mind.
And when it’s time to find home,
We know the way.

Away, away!
We are explorers reading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain
Away, away!
tef fa new ta maul ee ay
na heh ko hockey le-ay
We know the way!

Away, away!
We are explorers reading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain
Away, away!
tef fa new ta maul ee ay

na heh ko hockey le-ay
We know the way!
