I WISH (choir lyrics in BOLD)

‍

SOLO: Looking back on when I

Was a little nappy headed boy

Then my only worry

Was for Christmas what would be my toy

Even though we sometimes

Would not get a thing

We were happy with the

Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door

To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

^ALL Less is more now, less is more

Greeted at the back door

But thought I told you not to go outside

^ALL Less is more now, less is more

‍

Tryin' your best to bring the

Water to your eyes

Thinkin' it might stop her

From woopin' your behind

‍

I wish those days ^ALL days,

Could ^ALL could, come back once more

Why did those days ^ALL Days

E - ^ALL E-ver have to go

I wish those days ^ALL days,

Could ^ALL could, come back once more

Why did those days ^ALL Days

E - ^ALL E-ver have to go

‍

^ALL 'Cause I love them so

Do doo do doo do do do do do do do do

Do doo do doo do do do do do do

Do doo do doo do do do do do do do do

Do doo do doo do do do do do do

‍

Brother says he's tellin'

'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl

^ALL Less is more now, less is more

Just don't tell I'll give you

Anything you want in this whole wide world

^ALL Less is more now, less is more

Mama gives you money for Sunday school

You trade yours for candy after church is through

‍

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall

‍^ALL YOU NASTY BOY!

Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall

‍

You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right

But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight

‍

I wish those days ^ALL days,

Could ^ALL could, come back once more

Why did those days ^ALL Days

E - ^ALL E-ver have to go

I wish those days ^ALL days,

Could ^ALL could, come back once more

Why did those days ^ALL Days

E - ^ALL E-ver have to go

‍

^ALL 'Cause I love them so

Do doo do doo do do do do do do do do

Do doo do doo do do do do do do

Do doo do doo do do do do do do do do

Do doo do doo do do do do do do

‍

^ALL (break down):

Doo doo doo doo doo do doo do do doo doo doo do do doo dooo dooo X4

Doo doo doo doo doo do - - - - - - - doo dooo dooo X3

ARETHA by Rumer

_ALL

I got Aretha in the morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

'cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

Momma she'd notice but she's always crying

_A

‍I got no one to confide in,

_ALL

Aretha nobody but you

And Momma she'd notice but she's always fighting

_A

Something in her mind

_ALL

and it sounds like breaking glass

I tell Aretha in the morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

'cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

Unwritten / You got the Love

‍

^Solo I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

‍

^{S+ T} ooh

^A Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illu ^ALL minate the words that you could not find

^{A+ T} ooh

^S Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
^All Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

^ALL I break tradition
Sometimes my tries are outside the line - yens
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh oh

^A Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illu ^ALL minate the words that you could not find

^{A+ T} ooh

^S Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

‍
^All Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in

I know I can count on you,

Sometimes, I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care"

But you've got the love I need to see me through

Man in the Mirror Lyrics

_{Tenor solo - all tenors to learn}

I’m gonna make a change

For once in my life

It's gonna feel real good

It's gonna make a difference

Gonna make it right

‍

^A+T As I, turn up the collar on

My favourite winter coat

This wind is blowin' my mind

I see the kids in the street

With not enough to eat

^ALL Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs?

‍

A summer's disregard

A broken bottle top

^A+T And a one man's soul (^S one man's soul________)

^A+T They follow each other on the wind ya know

^ALL 'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

‍

I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah!

I'm asking him to change his ways, oh change!

^A2+T No message could've been any clearer (^S+A1 oo oo_____)

^ALL If you wanna make the world, a better place

Take a look at yourself, and make a cha-e-ange

‍

Na na na, na na na, na na__ na na__

‍

(^S Oo_________) ^A+T I've been a victim of, a selfish kind of love,

It's time that I realise (^S I realise____)

^A+T There are some with no home

^ALL Not a nickel to loan

Could it be, really me, pretending that they're not alone?

‍

A willow deeply scarred

Somebody's broken heart

^A+T And a washed out dream (^S a washed out dream____)

^A+T They follow the pattern of the wind ya see

^ALL 'Cause they got, no place to be,

That's why I'm starting with me

‍

I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh yeah!

I'm asking him to change his ways, oh change!

^A2+T No message could've been any clearer (^S+A1 oo oo_____)

Desperado

Sops: Let somebody love you x 3

Altos + Tenors: ooh

All: oooh

All: Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You've been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

Sops: You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Altos + tenors: ooh

All: Now it seems to me, some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

Sops: But you only want the ones

Altos + tenors: oooh that you can't get

All: that you can't get

Desperado, sops: oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Altos + tenors: ooh

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

All: And freedom, oh freedom  altos: well, that’s just some people talkin'

Tenors: Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Altos and soprano: ooh

Sops and altos: Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?

tenors: ooh

All: The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

All:  It's hard to tell the night time from the day

Sops and altos:  You're losin' all your highs and lows

Tenors: ooh

All: Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, sops: why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

Altos and tenors: oooh

Tenor: It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

Altos and sop: raining there’s a rainbow

All: You better let somebody love you

Let somebody love you

Let somebody love you

before it's too late

You better let somebody love you

Let somebody love you
