A Chorus For A Cause
Got on My Travelin’ Shoes
Angel come a knockin’ on my brother’s door.
“Come on, brother, we’re goin’ on a journey, so you better get ready.
Put on your trav’lin shoes, ‘cause we’re headin’ to the Jordan shore.”
And then we shout, “The promised Land’s a callin’ Got on my travelin’ shoes.”
Angel come a knockin’ on my sister’s door….
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand and cast a wistful eye
to Canaan’s fair and happy land where my possessions lie
I am bound for the Promised Land. Yes, I am bound for the Promised Land.
Oh, who will come and join with me? I am bound for the Promised Land.
And then we shout, “Hallelujah. The Promised Land’s a callin’,
Got on my travelin’ shoes.”
But the World Goes ‘Round
Sometimes you’re happy and sometimes you’re sad,
but the world goes ‘round.
Sometimes you lose ev’ry nickel you had,
but the world goes ‘round.
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces,
but that shouldn’t alter a thing.
Take it from me: There’s still gonna be
a summer, a winter, a fall, and a spring.
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad,
but the world goes on.
And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound.
Somebody loses and somebody wins,
and one day it’s kicks, then it’s kicks in the shins.
But the planet spins and the world goes ‘round and ‘round.​​
All the Pretty Little Horses
Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry, go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have all the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and grays,
Coach and six a-little horses.
Hush my baby, don’t you cry, I will sing you a lullaby.
Hush my baby, safe from harm, while I cradle you on my arm.
Steam Heat
I got steam heat. I got steam heat. I got steam heat.
But I need your love to keep away the cold.
I got steam heat. I got steam heat.
But I can’t get warm without your hand to hold.
The radiator’s hissin’ still I need your kissin’
To keep me from freezin’ each night.
I got a hot water bottle but nothin’ I got’ll
take the place of you, holding me tight.
I got steam heat ….
They told me to shovel more coal in the boiler.
But that don’t do no good.
They told me to pour some more oil in the burner.
But that don’t do no good.
The radiator’s hissin’....
I need your love to keep away the storm. Sizzlin’! Hot!
Someone Like You
I peered through windows, watched life go by,
Dreamed of tomorrow, but stayed inside.
The past was holding me keeping life at bay,
I wandered, lost in yesterday,
Wanting to fly but scared to try.
Then someone like you found someone like me,
and suddenly nothing is the same.
My heart’s taken wing, and I feel so alive,
‘Cause someone like you found me.
It’s like you took my dreams, made each one real.
You reached inside of me and made me feel.
And now I see a world I’ve never seen before.
Your love has opened ev’ry door.
You’ve set me free, now I can soar.
For someone like you found someone like me,
You touched my heart. Nothing is the same.
There’s a new way to live, and I feel so alive,
And a new way to love,
“Cause someone like you found me.
Then someone like you…
“Cause someone like you loves me.
Windy Nights
Whenever the moon and stars are set,
Whenever the wind is high,
All night long in the dark and wet, a man goes riding by,
Late in the night when the fires are out,
Why does he gallop and gallop about?
Whenever the trees are crying aloud,
and ships are tossed at sea
By, on the highway, low and loud,
By at the gallop goes he,
By he comes back at the gallop again. Why?
One Voice
Chorus Theme music
Old West Medley
Come along boys, and listen to my tale,
I’ll tell you my troubles on the old Chisholm Trail.
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yi,yippy yea,
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yea.
Born right here in the prairie land,
I can ride anything this side of the Rio Grande.
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yea.
I never hankered for the plow or hoe
And punchin’ steers is all I care to know.
Yippy ti-yi yea, get along little dogies,
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yi,yippy yea,
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yea.
From this valley they say you are going.
We will miss your bright eyes and your smile.
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile.
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the cowboy who loved you so true.
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Home, home on the range.
Where the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
There’s a yellow rose in Texas I’m going there to see.
No other fellow knows her, nobody only me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart;
And if we ever meet again, we never more shall part.
She’s the sweetest rose of color a fellow every knew.
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosy Lee,
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
Where the Rio Grande is flowing, where stars are shining bright
We walked along the river on a quiet summer night.
She said if you remember, we parted long ago.
You promised to come back again, and never leave me so.
We’ve told you a tale ‘bout the wild, wild west
Where the days are long and the cowboys get no rest.
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yi,yippy yea,
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yea.
So whenever you wanna get far, far away
Dream of the land where the deer and the antelope play.
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yi,yippy yea,
Come a ki-yi yippy yippy yea.
Never my Love
You ask me if there’ll come a time when I grow tired of you.
Never my love.
You wonder if this heart of mine will lose its desire for you.
Never my love.
What makes you think love will end
when you know that my whole life depends on you.
You say you fear I’ll change my mind, I won’t require you.
Never my love.
O Love
O Love, that will not let me go.
O Love, I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thy ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller be.
O Joy, that seeks me through the pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
Wild Mountain Thyme
O, the summertime is comin’ and the trees are sweetly bloomin’
And the wild mountain thyme grows round the purple heather.
Will ya go, lassie, go? And we’ll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme,
All around the bloomin’ heather,
Will ya go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a tower near yon cool crystal fountain,
And on it I will pile all the colors of the mountain,
Will ya go, lassie go?....
If my ture love, they were gone, would I ever find another?
To pluck wild mountain thyme all around the bloomin’ heather?
Will ya go, lassie, go?…
Music Down in My Soul
I hear this music in the air.
I can feel it in the air.
There must be a God somewhere.
Over my head I hear music in the air
There must be a God somewhere.
Over my head I hear singing in the air
There must be a God somewhere.
I got this music down in my soul;
and it fills my heart with the joy of the Lord!
I’ve got joy everlasting !
I’ve got peace everlasting,
I’ve got love everlasting.
Love in my heart. Please in my soul. Joy in my heart.
Do you love the Lord? I love the Lord!
I got joy! I got peace! I got love! In my soul!
Swifter Than Flame
Swifter than flame, prevailing tempest race
Along the lifted steel that bars their way.
From solid street up to the shore of space,
Each granite edifice transcends the day.
Tower on tower reach a final rung
From which winged feet step upward out of night–
To find again forgotten planets hung
In orbits measuring a timeless flight.
Thank you for attending our concert today.
