From A Distance  (Better Midler)

From a distance, the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
 
From a distance, we all have enough And no one is in need
There are no guns, no bombs, and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
 
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
 
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I cannot comprehend
What all the fighting is for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
 
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man

God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance

Hail Mary, Gentle Woman  (Hymn)

Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God
O, pray for us sinners now
And at the hour of death. Amen

Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star so strong and bright
Gentle mother, peaceful dove
Teach us wisdom, teach us love
 
You were chosen by the father
You were chosen for the son
You were chosen from all women
And for woman, your shining light
 
Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star so strong and bright
Gentle mother, peaceful dove
Teach us wisdom, teach us love
 
Teach us wisdom, teach us love
Teach us wisdom, teach us love

How Great Thou Art  (Hymn)

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power through-out the universe displayed
 
Chorus:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
 
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze
 
Chorus
 
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God. how great Thou art!
 
Chorus
 How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

I Can See Clearly Now  (Jimmy Cliff)

I can see clearly now the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sun shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sun shiny day
 
I think I can make it now the pain has gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sun shiny day
 
Look all around
There’s nothing but blue sky
Look straight ahead
There’s nothing but blue sky
 
I can see clearly now the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
I can see clearly now the rain has gone
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day
 
Repeat to end: It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day

Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford
 
Chorus:
I need Thee, oh I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Saviour
I come to Thee!
 
I need Thee every hour
Stay thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When thou are nigh
 
Chorus
 
I need Thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
 
Chorus
 
I need Thee every hour
Most holy One
Oh, make me thine indeed
Thou blessed Son!
 
Chorus

If Tomorrow Never Comes  (Ronan Keating)

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

I'll Be Seeing You  (Vera Lynn / Billie Holiday)

Cathedral bells were tolling and our hearts sang on
Was it the spell of Paris or the April dawn?
Who knows if we shall meet again
But when the morning chimes ring sweet again…
 
I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through.
In that small cafe, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In every thing that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small cafe, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In every thing that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

Imagine  (John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…

Imagine there's no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...


You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live 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 may say I’m a dreamer
but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Knocking On Heaven’s Door  (Bob Dylan)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
 
Chorus:
Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door
Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door
Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door
Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door
 
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feel I'm knocking on heaven's door
 
Chorus
 
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is coming down
I feel I'm knocking on heaven's door
 
Chorus
 
Baby stay right here with me
'Cause I can't see you anymore
This ain't the way it's supposed to be
I feel I'm knocking on heaven's door
 
Chorus

Let It Be (John Lennon)

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She's standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
 
Let it be, let it be, let it be, oh let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
 
When the night is cloudy
There's still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
 
Let it be, let it be, let it be, oh let it be
And there will be an answer, let it be
 
Instrumental (1/2 chorus)
 
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There'll now be an answer, let it be
Though they may be parted
There's a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
 
Let it be, let it be, let it be, oh let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
 
Let it be, let it be, let it be, oh let it be
And there will be an answer, let it be
 
Let it be, let it be, let it be, oh let it be
Shine until tomorrow, let it be

Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace  (Hymn)

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you
 
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood … as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
 
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there’s sadness, ever joy
 
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood … as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
 
Make me a channel of your peace
   It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Morning Has Broken  (Cat Stevens)

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
 
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

My Heart Will Go On  (Celine Dion)

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
 
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
  
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold you
In my life we'll always go on
 
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
 
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

My Immortal  (Evanesence)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have….all of me
 
You used to captivate me by your resonating mind
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have….all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
 
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have….all of me

My Way  (Frank Sinatra)

And now, the end is near and so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain

I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
But more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spat it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall, and did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that and may I say - not in a shy way
No, oh no not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows, I took the blows
And did it my way!   Oh no, oh no, not me… I did it my way
