All is calm, and all is bright
Everywhere but in your heart tonight
They’re singing carols
Of joy and peace
Where you’re standing still
And snow falls at your feet

Somewhere in your silent night
Echoes of a song
Your broken heart has cried
Hope is here just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night

From starlit night, from angels glow
The light within us
Within us all must show
From angels glow, to starlit hill
When you need a friend
My friend I’ll be there still

I will shine above you now
And I always will

Somewhere in your silent night
Echoes of a song
Your broken heart has cried
Hope is here just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night

Lift your head, lift your heart
The song I sing will guide you from afar
I’ll sing for you
I’ll shout your name
You’ll hear me call
I’ll call you by your name

Somewhere in your silent night
Echoes of a song
Your broken heart has cried
Hope is here just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night

Love will find you
Love will find you

Imagine we choose kindness
It’s easy if you try
Nothing to hurt or cry for
And no one left behind

Imagine all the people
Livin’ for today
Ah

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to hurt or cry for
It’s time for a breakthrough

Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I’m a dreamer,
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

1.
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me

2.
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me

And darling, darling, stand by me,
oh stand by me
Oh stand now,
Stand by me, stand by me
(Instrumental)

And darlin, darlin, stand by me,
oh stand by me
Oh stand now,
stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand
Stand by me
Stand by me…

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

1. We are searchlights, we can see in the dark.
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars.
We are billions of beautiful hearts,
And you sold us down the river too far.

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love?
What about trust?
What about us?

2. We are problems that want to be solved.
We are children that need to be loved.
We were willing, we came when you called.
But man, you fooled us.
Enough is enough,
Enough is enough.

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love?
What about trust?
What about us?

What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love?
What about trust?

Sticks and stones, they may break these bones,
But then, I’ll be ready.
Are you ready?
It’s the start of us waking up, come on.
Are you ready?
I’ll be ready.
I don’t want control, I want to let go.
Are you ready?
I’ll be ready.
‘Cause now it’s time to let them know
We are ready.

Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rivals
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger

Risin’ up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rivals
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

There’s a girl in the backyard bangin’ on her drum,
Sittin’ in a junk pile laughing at the sun,
Singin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, I just wanna be a rockstar.’

There’s a boy in the backseat singin’ to the song
Playin’ on the radio, knowing he’s the one,
Singin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, I just wanna be a rockstar.’
Singin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, I was born to be a rockstar.’

There’s a girl in the tree top looking at the stars,
Waiting for a touchdown comin’ in from Mars,
Thinkin’: ‘is there anybody out there?’

There’s a boy thinkin’ of her playin’ his guitar,
Searching for the answer buried in his heart,
Thinkin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, is there anybody out there?’
Singin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, is there anybody out there?’

If there’s a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find.
The world is spinnin’ and I wanna know why.

And we’re all getting older, wishing we were young,
Hanging on the memory of what we could become,
Singin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, I was born to be a rockstar’.
Singin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, I just wanna be a rockstar’.
Singin’: ‘ah, ha, ha, I was born to be a rockstar’.

I’ve been hearing symphonies.
Before all I heard was silence.
A rhapsody for you and me,
And every melody is timeless.
Life was stringing me along,
Then you came and you cut me loose.
Was solo singing on my own.
Now I can’t find the key without you.

And now your song is on repeat,
And I’m dancin’ on to your heartbeat.
And when you’re gone I feel incomplete,
So if you want the truth:

I just wanna be part of your symphony.
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony,
Like a love song on the radio.
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

I’m sorry if it’s all too much,
And every day you’re here, I’m healing.
And I was runnin’ out of luck.
I never thought I’d find this feeling.
Cos I’ve been hearing symphonies.
Before all I heard was silence.
A rhapsody for you and me,
And every melody is timeless.

And now your song is on repeat,
And I’m dancin’ on to your heartbeat.
And when you’re gone I feel incomplete,
So if you want the truth:

I just wanna be part of your symphony.
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony,
Like a love song on the radio.
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah.

And now your song is on repeat,
And I’m dancin’ on to your heartbeat.
And when you’re gone I feel incomplete,
So if you want the truth:

Oh, I just wanna be part of your symphony.
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony,
Like a love song on the radio.

Symphony,
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony,
Like a love song on the radio.
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

I am a seed in a meadow,
I am a leaf on a tree,
I am a rock in a mountain,
I am them and they are me.

We are the rays of the sunshine,
We are the waves of the sea,
We are all one and a million,
Together stronger than just me.

Ah_, united we are strong,
Ah_, feel the power in our song,
Ah_, we can achieve our dreams,
Ah_, if together we all believe.

One and a million, join us today,
Building tomorrow, leading the way. (x2)

I am a rose in a garden,
I am a star in the sky,
I am a note in an anthem,
You are them and so am I.

We are the rays of the sunshine,
We are the waves of the sea,
We are all one and a million,
Together stronger than just me.

Ah_, united we are strong,
Ah_, feel the power in our song,
Ah_, we can achieve our dreams,
Ah_, if together we all believe.

Winter passes into spring,
Seasons come and go,
There’s a time for everything,
For everything must change and grow.

2

Lessons learnt along the way,
Things we’ve come to know,
We take with us each new day,
For everything must change and grow.

CHORUS:

There are places we’ve loved and those we’ve left, There are days we remember well.
There are faces we know we shan’t forget, But this day we move forward,
This day we move forward.

3

Who knows what tomorrow brings,
Where the winds will blow?
There will be new songs to sing,
For everything must change and grow.

4

Through the laughter, through the tears,
In life’s ebb and flow,
Seize the moments and the years,
For everything must change and grow.

CHORUS:

There are places we’ve loved and those we’ve left, There are days we remember well.
There are faces we know we shan’t forget,
But this day we move forward,
This day we move forward, This day we move forward.

5

Repeat verse 1

CHORUS:

There are places we’ve loved and those we’ve left, There are days we remember well.
There are faces we know we shan’t forget,
But this day we move forward,
This day we move forward, This day we move forward.

1
We’ll make a brighter day tomorrow,
We’ll make the world a better place.
We’ll put some colour in
To everything
If we learn to be loving today.

2
We’ll make a brighter day tomorrow,
With every step along the way.
We’ll see a better thing
Is happening
If we learn to be loving today.

CHORUS
There’s no telling
What a difference we can make.
This world’s waiting
For the colours we’re yet to create.

3
We’ll make a brighter day tomorrow,
We’ll make the world a better place.
We’ll see the treasure in
The little things
If we learn to be grateful today.

4
We’ll make a brighter day tomorrow,
With every step along the way.
We’ll find a song to sing
In everything
If we learn to be grateful today.
