So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul
It's amazing With the blink of an eye you finally see the light. It's amazing When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright. It's amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight.
Gone now is the day and gone the sun There is peace tonight all over Arlington But the songs of my life will still be sung By the light of the moon you hung.
I finally understand for a woman It ain't easy trying to raise a man. Ya always wuz commited, a poor single mother on welfare, Tell me how ya did it. There's no way I can pay ya back But tha plan is ta show ya that I understand. You are appreciated.
20) Feeling Good, Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse (famous performances by Nina Simone, Muse, Sammy Davis, Jr., Eels, Michael Bublé, The Pussycat Dolls, George Michael and others)
The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
Wine from water is not so small But an even better magic trick Is that anything is here at all So the challenging thing becomes Not to look for miracles But finding where there isn’t one.
46) If I Can Dream, Walter Earl Brown (famous performance by Elvis Presley, quotations by Martin Luther King)
We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly.
You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on. We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on.
So draw a heart so big that there is room for little else Write a million for the things that she denied herself Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother
Remembering you running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow. Screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky, And you finally found all your courage to let it all go.
78) Somewhere Over the Rainbow, E.Y. Harburg (famous performances by Judy Garland, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole)
Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
Live every moment as if it's the last one. Find all the love deep within, give it away. Be thankful for all that I've been given. From now on, this is how I want to write, The story of my life.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen They did not know how... Perhaps they'll listen now.
88) We Are the World, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie (performed by U.S.A. for Africa)
We are the world / We are the children / We are the ones who make a brighter day / So lets start giving / Theres a choice we're making / We're saving out own lives / It's true we'll make a better day / Just you and me
89) What a Wonderful World, by Bob Thiele, George David Weiss, and George Douglas (famous performance by Louis Armstrong)
When I get where I'm going There'll be only happy tears I will shed the sins and struggles I have carried all these years And I'll leave my heart wide open I will love and have no fear Yeah when I get where I'm going Don't cry for me down here.
91) When You Say Nothing at All, by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz (famous performances by Alison Krauss & Union Station, Ronan Keating, Keith Whitley)
93) Wind Beneath My Wings, Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar (famous performance by Bette Midler)
It might have appeared to go unnoticed, But I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you.
When you've seen beyond yourself Then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one And life flows on within you and without you.
