We All Need Peace
(3rd and 4th Grade) with harmonies
We all need love, so we can fill the world with hope.
We all need hope, so we can build a lasting peace.
We all need peace to keep our dreams alive.
We all need peace to make our planet thrive.
We need to sing so that the world can hear our song.
We need a song so that the world can sing along.
Our song will spread its message loud and clear.
Our song will spread to people far and near.
Together we can learn to harmonize.
To bring together different views.
We’ll find a million ways to verbalize
a message strong and right and true.
We all need love (We all need love)
So we can full the world with hope (Fill the world with hope)
We all need hope (We all need hope)
So we can build a lasting peace.
We all need peace to keep our dreams alive.
We all need peace to make our planet thrive,
To make our planet thrive. To keep our dreams alive.
We all need love. We all need hope. We all need peace.

“We Shall Overcome” (4th Grade)
Hum honge kaamyaab
Hum honge kaamyaab
Hum honge kaamyaab ek din
ho ho mann main hai vishwaas, poora hai vishwaas
Hum honge kaamyaab ek din
We’ll walk hand in hand
We’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand some day.
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe.
We shall overcome someday.
Hogi shanti charo aur
Hogi shanti charo aur ek din
Ho ho mann main hai vishwaas, poora hai vishwaas
Hogi shanti charo aur ek din
We are not afraid,
We are not afraid,
We are not afraid today.
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe.
We shall overcome someday.
Hum honge kaamyaab

May There Always be Sunshine
(3rd & 4th Grades)
Narration: Once upon a time in Moscow a little boy painted a picture. It had a round orange sun and lots of blue sky. Underneath it he wrote a poem that went like this:
Poost vseg-da bood-zhet sawn-suh,
(May there always be sunshine),
Poost vse-da bood-zyet knee-eh-buh
(May there always be blue skies.
Poost vseg-da bood-zyet mama
(May there always be mama)
Poost vseg-da boo-doo ya
(May there always be me.)
3rd & 4th May there always be sunshine,
may there always be blue skies,
May there always be Mama,
may there always be me.
Poost vseg-da bood-zhet sawn-suh,
Poost vse-da bood-zyet knee-eh-buh,
Poost vseg-da bood-zyet mama,
Poost vseg-da boo-doo ya
Sun in the sky, birds flying high,
that is the picture you gave me.
While down below, someone I know,
looks up as though he would say:
May there always be sunshine,
may there always be blue skies,
May there always be Mama,
may there always be me.
Poost vseg-da bood-zhet sawn-suh,
Poost vse-da bood-zyet knee-eh-buh,
Poost vseg-da bood-zyet mama,
Poost vseg-da boo-doo ya
There could be sun for everyone,
There could be worlds filled with laughter.
Peace is the dream, how close it seems,
When you take my hand and you say:
4th Grade: May there always be sunshine,
May there always be blue skies,
May there always be Mama,
May there always be me.
May there always be me.
3rd Grade: Poost vseg-da bood-zhet sawn-suh,
Poost vse-da bood-zyet knee-eh-buh,
Poost vseg-da bood-zyet mama,
Poost vseg-da boo-doo ya
4th Grade: May there always be sunshine,
3rd Grade: May there always be blue skies,
4th Grade: May there always be Mama,
3rd Grade: May there always be me.
3rd/4th: May there always be sunshine,
May there always be blue skies,
May there always be Mama,
May there always be me.
We Are The World
Honor Choir: There comes a time when we heed a certain call,
when the world must come together as one.
There are people dying, and it's time to lend a hand,
There are people dying, and it's time to lend a hand,
to life, the greatest gift of all.
Honor Choir: We can't go on, pretending day by day,
that someone, somehow will soon make a change.
We are all a part of God's great big family
We are all a part of God's great big family
and the truth, you know love is all we need.
All Student: We are the world, we are the children,
we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me.
Honor Choir: Well, Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
So their cries for help will not be in vain.
We can't let them suffer, no we cannot turn away,
Right now they need a helping hand.
All Students: We are the world, we are the children,
we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.

Honor Choir: When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all,
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, let us realize, that a change can only come,
When we stand together as one,
All Students: As one!
All Students: As one!
All Students: We are the world, we are the children,
we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me.
Rea: We all need somebody that we can lean on
When you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
When the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on.
When you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
When the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on.
Dykes: We are the world united by a love so strong
When the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
A guided light on the dark road your walking on
A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
Azhar: Someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone
We are the World connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet sing it along
All Students: We are the world, we are the children,
we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me.
All Students: We are the world, we are the children,
we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me.
All Students: Just you and me!
We are the world, we are the children.
The children, the children!
