Rotary Club Concert – Song lyrics
PLEASE LEARN!!!
See Me
It’s the moment I’ve been waiting for,
Know the lyrics and rehearsed the score,
All I have to do is cross the floor,
And take a deep breath and drop my jaw
But my stomach feels queasy and my throat is sore
Every second lasts forever more
Heart is beating with a thunderous roar
Suddenly it’s go, I cross the floor
I’m ready to burst as my spirits soar
And I take a deep breath as I count to 4
Chorus:
See me, standing in the light
See me, spread my wings in flight
See me, sailing like a ship at sea
See me, standing on my own,
See me, steady as a stone
See me, singing all alone,
See me.
Can’t believe I really made it here
Thought my nerves would never disappear
Train was late, I nearly died of fear
And mum got worried so she shed a tear
And she kept on asking, have you got the right gear?
But we made it and I’m really here
After training so hard all the year,
It’s my dream that’s made me persevere,
My dream that’s always been so bright and clear
For this moment when the audience applaud and cheer.
Chorus
See me x 4
Amani utupe na ustawi
As we travel down this weary road,
Amani utupe na ustawi
We need strength to carry on our load,
Amani utupe na ustawi
Grant us peace, give us courage
Amani utupe na ustawi
Grant us peace, give us courage
Amani utupe na ustawi
Road is rocky and the way is dark
Amani…
Every road has a different fork
Amani…
Grant us peace…
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Amani…
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Amani…
Grant us peace…
(shhh)Grant us peace, give us courage
Amani utupe na ustaaaaaar –wi
Amani utupe na ustawi!
Building
(Click. Click, click.
Click. Click, click.)
(All - whispered)
We build to make our mark.
(Click. Click, click.)
We build to build an ark.
(Click. Click, click.)
Shelters, bridges, temples, trust:
We build because we must.
(Part 1 - sung)
We put something where nothing was before.
We build windows and open the door.
We bring the outside inside, turn nothing into more.
We put something where nothing was before.
(Part 2)
Put your treasures away in a safe place.
Put your treasures away in a safe place.
So build yourself a safe place today,
And put yourself away.
Part 1 with Part 2
(Part 3 only)
It’s just one thing on top of another,
And another and another and another!
It’s just one thing on top of another,
And another and another and another!
Ev’ry brick sits on its father and mother
And it’s squeezed between its sister and its brother,
It’s just one thing on top of another,
And another and another and another!
(Part 1, with Parts 2 & 3), then repeat unaccompanied.
Then repeat again, with key change
1
We put something
where nothing was
before.
We build windows and
open the door.
We bring the outside
inside, turn nothing into
more.
We put something
where nothing was
before.
2
Put your treasures
away in a safe place.
Put your treasures
away in a safe place.
So build yourself a safe
place today,
And put yourself away.
3
It’s just one thing on top
of another,
And another and another
and another!
It’s just one thing on top
of another,
And another and another
and another!
Ev’ry brick sits on its
father and mother
And it’s squeezed
between its sister and its
brother,
It’s just one thing on top
of another,
And another and another
and another!
(All)
We put something where nothing was.
Prove that we were here,
Because there’s something (clap clap clap clap clap clap)
Where nothing was before.
