“Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
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.
Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough.
And things go wrong no matter what I do.
Now and then I feel like life is just too much.
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
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.
Time after time I say, “Oh Lord, what’s the use”.
Time after time I say, “This just won’t do”.
But sooner or later in life the things you love you lose.
Just like before I know I call on you.
Occasionally my thoughts are brave and friends are few.
Occasionally I cry out, “Lord, what must I do”.
Occasionally I call up, “Master, make me new”.
You’ve got the love to see me through.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
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.
You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, I got the love)
You (I got the love, I got the love, I got the love, got the love)
(I got the love) need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through
You got the love (Got the love) I need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through
You’ve got the love, you’ve got the love
You’ve got the love
You’ve got the love, you’ve got the love
You’ve got the love, mm hmm”
Lyrics from “You Got The Love” by Candi Staton

“Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when you’re older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game *
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him take your time it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There’ll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game”
Lyrics from “Circle Game” by Joni Mitchell
Smile

“Smile tho’ your heart is aching
Smile even tho’ it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by
If you smile
Thro’ your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shin-ing thro’ for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide ev-‘ry trace of sadness
Altho’ a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time
You must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worth-while
If you just smile”
Lyrics from “Smile” by Nat King Cole

“The lonely street eclipsed the sun
Until the sculptor had begun
To etch and mold a dream
Which soon became a passing game
A sad forgotten scene
A face of yesterday
The builder laid his base of sand
And stretched his willing gentle hand
To seek the help, to shape the life
He had depended on
Which fell like rain and snow
A face of yesterday
The man of music wrote a score
For several instruments or more
When they played together
Then they found disharmony
A cluttered symphony
A face of yesterday”
Lyrics from “The Face of Yesterday” by Renaissance

“Music makes the people come together
Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Don’t think of yesterday
And I don’t look at the clock
I like to boogie-woogie, uh, uh
It’s like riding on the wind
And it never goes away
Touches everything I’m in
Got to have it everyday”
Lyrics from “Music” by Madonna
