"Shed A Little Light"
Oh Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King
and recognize that there are ties between us, all men and women living on the Earth.
Ties of hope and love, sister and brotherhood, that we are bound together
in our desire to see the world become a place in which our children can grow free and strong.
We are bound together by the task that stands before us and the road that lies ahead.
We are bound and we are bound.
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest
Shed a little light, Shed a little light oh Lord,
So that we can see, just a little light, oh Lord.
Wanna stand it on up, stand it on up, oh Lord,
wanna walk it on down, shed a little light, oh Lord.
Can't get no light from the dollar bill, don't give me no light from a TV screen.
When I open my eyes I wanna drink my fill from the well on the hill,
do you know what I mean?
Shed a little light,Shed a little light oh Lord,
So that we can see, just a little light, oh Lord.
Wanna stand it on up, stand it on up, oh Lord,
wanna walk it on down, shed a little light, oh Lord.
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist,
there is a hunger in the center of the chest.
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
and though the body sleeps the heart will never rest.
Oh, Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King

All men and women living on the Earth, ties of hope and love, sister and brotherhood.

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.
(play next part on recorder)
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.
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.
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry
I'm right up the road I'll share your load if you just call me
So just call on me brother if you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd 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.
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.

This Land is Your Land
Refrain:
This land is your land, This land is my land From California to the New York Islands From the redwood forest to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me. Verse 1: As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway. I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me! TO REFRAIN |
Verse 2:
I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts, And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me. TO REFRAIN Verse 3: When the sun comes shining and I was strolling And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, as the fog was lifting a voice was chanting, This land was made for you and me! TO REFRAIN |
