SING: 2012

SING

some words they can’t be spoken only sang

so hear a thousand voices shouting love

there’s a place, there’s a time

in this life when you sing what you are feeling

find your feet, stand your ground

don’t you see

right now the world is listening to what we say

 

sing it louder, sing it clearer

knowing everyone will hear you

make some noise, find your voice tonight

sing it stronger, sing together

make this moment last forever

old and young

shouting love tonight

to sing we’ve had a lifetime to wait

and see a thousand faces celebrate

you brought hope, you brought light

conquered fear, it wasn’t always easy

stood your ground, kept your faith

don’t you see

right now the world is listening to what we say

sing it louder, sing it clearer

knowing everyone will hear you

make some noise, find your voice tonight

sing it stronger, sing together

make this moment last forever

old and young

shouting love tonight

some words they can’t be spoken only sung

to hear a thousand voices shouting love

and light and hope

just sing

just sing

just sing

just sing

come all and sing

sing it louder, sing it clearer

knowing everyone will hear you

make some noise, find your voice tonight

sing it stronger, sing together

make this moment last forever

old and young

shouting love tonight

hear a thousand voices shouting love

 

HERE COMES THE SUN

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come;

‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’ve first begun.

STRONGER AS ONE

From Echo Bay to Kanye

Bartica to Bairiki

Flowing as one,

Where any dream can live on

With old and with new

It is the voice that rings true (Oh-Oh)

Calling us, making us one

Heart and a soul

Shining as gold

Under one Sun

We’re stronger as one

Montego Bay to Savai’i

Sullum Voe to Kalahari

Oceans may part

But every river must start

In valley and hill

We are people who will (Oh-Oh)

Come now, joining as one

Heart and a soul

Shining as gold

Under one Sun

We’re stronger as one

In the rise and the fall

Of echoed words in great halls

Nations may dawn

But it is we who are born

All equal and free

With the power to see (Oh-Oh)

Who among many has one

Heart and a soul

Shining as gold

Under one Sun

We’re stronger as one

 

 

LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,

How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?

Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;

God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!

Truth and Right and Freedom, each a holy gem,

Stars of solemn brightness, weave thy diadem.

 

Tho’ thy way be darkened, still in splendour drest,

As the star that trembles o’er the liquid West.

Throned amid the billows, throned inviolate,

Thou hast reigned victorious, thou has smiled at fate.

Land of Hope and Glory, fortress of the Free,

How may we extol thee, praise thee, honour thee?

Hark, a mighty nation maketh glad reply;

Lo, our lips are thankful, lo, our hearts are high!

Hearts in hope uplifted, loyal lips that sing;

Strong in faith and freedom, we have crowned our King!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us

God save the Queen

Thy choicest gifts in store,

On her be pleased to pour

Long may she reign

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice

God save the Queen

God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us

God save the Queen
