Lyrics

 

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,

We shall overcome some day;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,

We shall overcome some day.

 

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,

We shall overcome some day;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,

We shall overcome some day.

 

We are not afraid, we are not afraid,

We are not afraid today;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,

We are not afraid today.

 

We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,

We shall live in peace some day;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,

We shall live in peace some day.

 

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,

We shall overcome some day;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,

We shall overcome some day.

Song of Peace

Fourth and Fifth Grade

Lyrics

 

If I could write a magic song

That everyone could sing

I would write of love

Of hope and joy

And things that peace could bring

 

And when we sing

My magic song

All hate and war would cease

If I could write a magic song

I’d write a song of peace

 

One song for all of us

One song could bring us peace

One song could make a miracle

For all of us

A song of peace

 

With just one song

One magic song

That everyone could sing

We could sing of love

Of hope and joy

And things that peace could bring

 

And when we sang

Our magic song

All hate and war would cease

With just one song

One magic song

The world could fill with peace

 

Part 1 (4th Grade):                                  Part 2 (5th Grade):

One song for all of us                              One song for all of us

One song could bring us peace             One song, peace

One song could make a miracle            One song, miracle

For all of us                                               For all of us

A song of peace                                       A song of peace

 

One song could make a miracle           One song, miracle

For all of us                                              For all of us

A song of peace                                      A song of peace

A song of peace                                      A song of peace

 

All:

A song of peace

Power of One

Whole School (K-5)

Lyrics

 

One person refused to sit on the back of the bus

She changed the right for all of us

Oh, that's the power of one

 

Her diary found a light in the dark

A young girl's hope touched millions of hearts

Oh, that's the power of one

 

One grain of sand can turn the tide

One single spark can light the night

One simple dream, one gentle word

One act of love from someone

Can start a chain reaction

It all begins in the heart

In the power of one

 

While the others threw stones, He didn't judge

He moved the world with the strength of His love

Oh, that's the power of one

 

One grain of sand can turn the tide

One single spark can light the night

One simple dream, one gentle word

One act of love from someone

Can start a chain reaction

It all begins in the heart

In the power of one, oh

 

All the little things we do everyday

The smallest step can bring on a change

Oh, that's the power of one

 

One grain of sand can turn the tide

One single spark can light the night

One simple dream, one gentle word

One act of love from someone

Can start a chain reaction

It all begins in the heart

And the power of one

 

The power of one, the power of one

It's the power of one

Oh, it's the power of one

It's the power of one

The power of one

Hey, yeah, yeah, oh oh

Point of Light

All it takes

is a point of light

a ray of hope

in the darkest night

if you see what's wrong

and you try to make it right

You will be a point of light

We Shall Overcome

We Shall Overcome - Schmieder
00:00 / 00:00

Lyrics

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,

We shall overcome someday;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome some day.  

 

We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand, someday;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We’ll walk hand in hand some day.  

 

We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,  we shall live in peace

some day;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall live in peace some day.

Refrain:

Let your light be a light of promise,

May it shine with a brilliant glow.

Let your light be a light of freedom,

Let it burn, and let it grow.

Like the Beat of the Drum

Give

Give - LeAnn Rimes
00:00 / 00:00

Refrain:

If you want to get love then give it,

If you want to feel some forgiveness,

Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own.

 

If you want a friend then be one,

A little bit of kindness, show some

You'll be surprised at how much finds its way back home

 

It don't matter what it is if you want it, give.
