1. _ Amazing Grace
Tramaine hawkins---amazing grace
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now i see.
'twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing god's praise
Than when we've first begun.

2. _ Star Spangled Banner
The mormon tabernacle choir---star spangled banner
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
't is the star-spangled banner: o, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "in god is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

3. _ We Shall Overcome
Mahalia jackson---we shall overcome
We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, i do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
The lord will see us through, the lord will see us through,
The lord will see us through someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, i do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
We're on to victory, we're on to victory,
We're on to victory someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, i do believe,
We're on to victory someday.
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 someday.
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.
The truth shall make us free, the truth shall make us free,
The truth shall make us free someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, i do believe,
The truth shall make us free someday.
We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, i do believe,
We shall live in peace someday.

4. _ God Bless America
Celine dion---god bless america
Written by irving berlin
While the storm clouds gather far across the
Sea, let us swear allegiance to a land that's free.
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, as we
Raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God bless america, land that i love
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam.
God bless america, my home sweet home.
God bless america, my home sweet home.

5. _ Hero
- m. carey - w. afanasieff -
Hmm
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Oh oooh
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yeah
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
Mhhh
That a hero lies in
You

6. _ God Bless The Usa
If tomorrow all the things were gone i'd worked for all my life,
And i had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today,
'cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.
And i'm proud to be an american where as least i know i'm free.
And i won't forget the ones who died, who gave that right to me.
And i'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
'cause there ain't no doubt i love this land god bless the usa.
From the lakes of minnesota, to the hills of tennessee,
Across the plains of texas, from sea to shining sea,
From detroit down to houston and new york to la
Well, there's pride in every american heart,
And it's time to stand and say that
I'm proud to be an american where as least i know i'm free.
And i won't forget the ones who died, who gave that right to me.
And i'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
'cause there ain't no doubt i love this land god bless the usa.

8. _ Lean On Me
Bill withers---lean on me
Sometimes, in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And i'll be your friend, i'll help you carry on
For, it won't be long
Til i'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If i have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show
You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And i'll be your friend, i'll help you carry on
For, it won't be long
Til i'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
You have to bear, that you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load if you just call me
Call me if you need a friend
Call me ...

9. _ There's A Hero
Written by don cook, john jarvis
There's a flower in the smallest garden
Reaching for the light
There's a candle in the darkest corner
Conquering the night
There is amazing strength in a willing hand
There are victories
That you've never planned
There's a hero
In everybody's heart
There's a fire inside of everybody
Burning clear & bright
There's a power in the faintest heartbeat
That cannot be denied
Go on and trust yourself
Cause you can ride the wind
You're gonna take your dreams
Where's they've never been
There's a hero in everybody's heart
Go on and trust yourself
Cause you can ride the wind
You're gonna take your dreams
Where they've never been
There's a hero in everybody's heart

10. _ Coming Out Of The Dark
Gloria estefan---coming out of the dark
Why be afraid if i'm not alone
Though life is never easy the rest in unknown
Up to now for me it's been hands against stone
Spent each and every moment
Searching for what to believe
(chorus)
Coming out of the dark, i finally see the light now
It's shinning on me
Coming out of the dark, i know the love that saved me
You're sharing with me
Starting again is part of the plan
And i'll be so much stronger holding your hand
Step by step i'll make it through i know i can
It may not make it easier but i have felt you
Near all the way
(repeat chorus)
Forever, forever i stand on the rock of your love
Forever i'll stand on the rock
Forever, forever i stand on the rock of your love
Love is all it takes, no matter what we face
(chorus out)

Frank sinatra---america the beautiful
(america, america, america, america)
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above thy fruited plain!
America, america, god shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
(o beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years)
(thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears)
America, america, god shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea

12. _ Blowin' In The Wind
Blowin' in the wind - bob dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

13. _ Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon & garfunkel---bridge over troubled water
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, i will dry them all;
I'm on your side. when times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

14. _ This Land Is Your Land
Pete seeger---this land is your land
Words and music by woody guthrie
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From california, to the new york island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As i was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and i've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as i was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As i was walkin' - i saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - in the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - i see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

15. _ Land Of Hope And Dreams
Bruce springsteen---land of hope and dreams
Grab your ticket and your suitcase
Thunder's rolling down the tracks
You don't know where you're goin'
But you know you won't be back
Darlin' if you're weary
Lay your head upon my chest
We'll take what we can carry
And we'll leave the rest
Big wheels rolling through fields
Where sunlight streams
Meet me in a land of hope and dreams
I will provide for you
And i'll stand by your side
You'll need a good companion for
This part of the ride
Leave behind your sorrows
Let this day be the last
Tomorrow there'll be sunshine
And all this darkness past
Big wheels roll through fields
Where sunlight streams
Meet me in a land of hope and dreams
This train
Carries saints and sinners
This train
Carries losers and winners
This train
Carries whores and gamblers
This train
Carries lost souls
This train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This train
Faith will be rewarded
This train
Hear the steel wheels singin'
This train
Bells of freedom ringin'
This train
Carries broken-hearted
This train
Thieves and sweet souls departed
This train
Carries fools and kings
This train
All aboard
This train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This train
Faith will be rewarded
This train
Hear the steel wheels singin'
This train
Bells of freedom ringin'

16. _ Peaceful World
John mellencamp---peaceful world
Written by john mellencamp
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
People know this world is a wreck
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
If i see through it now but i didn't at first
The hypocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin' down their noses at what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Racism lives in the u.s. today
Better get hip to what martin luther king had to say
I don't want my kids being brought up this way
Hatred to each other is not okay
Well i'm not a preacher just a singer son
But i can see more work to be done
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
The money's good and the work is okay
Looks like everything is rollin our way
'til you gotta look the devil in the eye
You know that bastard's one big lie
So be careful with your heart and what you love
Make sure that it was sent from above
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
