Above it All
Sesame Street Song

Above it All


* Above it all
I love to fly
Above it all
There in the sky
The world's below
Above was I
I was above it all!

Below, some folks left in a house
Below those folks crept a mouse
Below the mouse a beetle sat
Below was not where I was at

* repeat

Below, some dudes went for a sail
Below those dudes there swam a whale
Below the whale a submarine
Below is not where I was seen

* repeat

And then, one day, I heard a sound
Came from above
Turned me around
To my surprise
I saw a dove!
I was below
He was above!

Above the dove
Clouds were in flight
Above the clouds
Sun shining bright
I asked the dove
"Is something wrong?"
"Oh, no," he said
"Just change your song."

Above it all
I love to fly
Below it, too
There in the sky
Above me now
Below am I
Above, below it all!
(Above, below it all!)
At last I know it all!
Above, below it all!

Alone Again
Gilbert O'sullivan
Alone Again


In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, who wouldn't do?
The role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who, if He really does exist,
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
(instrumental interlude)
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

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 pain is all around

*Repeat

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

Daydream Believer
The Monkees

Daydream Believer

Oh,I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise, wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold and it stings

*Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

You once thought of me as a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and ends
With a dollar one to spend
But how much baby do we really need?

*repeat

Heal the World
Michael Jackson
Heal the World

There's a place in your heart, and I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try, you'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel, there's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there if you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place

* Heal the world make it a better place
 For you and for me and the entire human race
 There are people dying if you care enough for the living
 Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why, there's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong, it only cares for joyful giving
If we try we shall see in this bliss, we cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world

*Repeat

And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life wound this earth crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see this world is heavenly be God's glow

We could fly so high let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears see the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there if you cared enough for the living
Make a little space, to make a better place

*Repeat

Hero
Mariah Carey

Hero


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

*repeat

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

*repeat

How Deep Is Your Love
Bee Gees
How Deep Is Your Love

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again

*Then you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

**How deep is your love, how deep is your love
  I really mean to learn
  'Cause we're living in a world of fools
  Breaking us down
  When they all should let us be
  We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

** repeat
* repeat
** repeat

How Far I'll Go
Auli'i Cravalho
How Far I'll Go

I’ve been staring at the edge of the water
Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water
No matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I’ll know
If I go there’s just no telling how far I’ll go
I know everybody on this island seems so happy, on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island has a role, on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I’ll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea?
It’s blinding
But no one knows
How deep it goes
And it seems like it’s calling out to me
So come find me
And let me know
What’s beyond that line, will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I’ll know
How far I’ll go

I Don't Want to Live on the Moon
Ernie and Aaron Neville (Sesame Street Song)

I Don't Want to Live on the Moon


Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon

I'd Wish for Wings
David L King


If I could make a wish
One wish that would come true
My voice would reach the sky
“Please give me wings to fly”

From these shoulders of mine
Like doves up in the trees
Wings of the purest white
To shine in brightest light

*And I’d look up to the skies
Past the clouds that sit on high
And I’ll spread my wings to fly
Fly from sadness and from fears
Into blue skies without tears
If I’d be granted just one wish
I’d wish for wings

To be famous and rich
A home just like a palace
Are things I do not need
Just two wings that can set me free

Even since I was a child
I’ve dreamt of just one thing
And still I dream the same
And still I’ll dream the same again

*Repeat

I'm Gonna Knock on Your Door
Eddie Hodges
I'm Gonna Knock on Your Door


I'm gonna knock on your door,
Ring on your bell,
Tap on your window too,
If you don't come out tonight,
When the moon is bright,
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do.

I'm gonna knock on your door,
Call out your name,
Wake up the town you'll see.
I'm gonna hoo-hooting howl,
Like a love-sick clown,
Until you say you're gonna come out with me.

*Hey little girl, the single town in asleep,
Let's count kisses 'stead of counting sheep,
How, how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down hear?

I'm gonna knock on your door,
Ring on your bell,
Tap on your window too
, If you don't come out tonight,
When the moon is bright,
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do.

*Repeat

I'm gonna knock and ring and tap
And knock and ring and tap
And knock and ring and tap
And knock and ring until you do.

I'm Yours
Jason Mraz
I'm Yours


Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon, it's again my turn
To win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait
I'm yours

Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait
I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate
I'm yours

Do you want to, come on, scootch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait
I'm yours

Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't...
There's no need to complicate
'Cause our time is short
This, oh this, oh this is our fate
I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, oh
Baby, do you believe, I'm yours?
You best believe, you best believe, I'm yours

I Need to Be in Love
Carpenters
I Need to Be in Love


The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing 生きていて一番難しいのは 信じ続けること

There's someone in this crazy world for me この狂った世界にも 私のために誰かが居ると

The way that people come and go through temporary lives うたかたの世界をただ通り過ぎていく私たち

My chance could come and I might never know 私にもいい人が現れるのかな どうなのかしら

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple" 深い約束はせずにいましょうと言ったけれど
 
But freedom only helps you say goodbye それは別れを早めただけ

It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free 無償で手に入る物など無いと気付くのが遅すぎて

The price I've paid is high enough for me 多くのものを失った


* I know I need to be in love 愛がなければ生きてはいけないと

I know I've wasted too much time 今頃やっと気付いた私

I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world この不完全な世界で 完璧な愛を求め

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find それが見つかると思っていた 愚かな私


So here I am with pockets full of good intentions 良かれと思って 色々やってはみるけれど

But none of them will comfort me tonight 今夜は何の慰めにもならない

I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight 寝付けないまま朝の4時 身近な友人も居なくて

I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right 希望に縋り付いているけれど 私は大丈夫

Last Christmas
WHAM!

Last Christmas


*Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

*repeat

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

*repeat twice

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

*repeat twice

Let It Go
Idina Menzel

Let It Go


The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the Queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I’ve tried

Don't let them in
Don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel
Don't let them know
Well now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door

I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free!

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on

The cold never bothered me anyway!

My Heart Will Go On
Celine Dion
My Heart Will Go On


Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

*Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

*Repeat

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly-girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

*Obladi oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on

Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing

*repeat

In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band

*repeat

And if you want some fun - take Obladi Oblada

Part of Your World
Little Mermaid

Part of Your World

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs? I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancing
Walking around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh ? feet
Flipping your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a -
(What's that word again?) street

Up where they walk
Up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimming
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
(What's the word?) burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

Story (English Version)
AI

Story

There are times I can't explain
What can I say?
You've given so much to me
Memories to stay
As time goes by I wonder why
I just couldn't be myself
I didn't want to show my heart
Afraid to be apart

For so long I 've kept it inside of me
Didn't have a place where I could let go
But then you came into my life
And I found the strength to be myself again
There will be no sky too high

*I'm not alone, you're by my side
I'm standing strong
You gave me hope to carry on
You washed away my fears
Now I know I'm here because I have you near
You're not alone I'm by your side
When you are down
I'll be the one to make you smile
I'll wash away your tears
And the sun will shine its light on you and me

There are times I can't explain
You don't have to say
You don't even have to hide
The pain that's deep inside
When you're lost and need a friend
You can just call on my name
You can count on me
I will be right here for you
For so long you've been holding on
Didn't have a place where you could let go
Just take my hand
And we'll find a way
Through the good and bad we will laugh and cry
Together we will find a way

*repeat

Cause you're the reason
I feel alive and there's nothing to hold me down
You're the reason I can spread my wings and fly
We have our own story
We all have the power to make a change
So just believe it, believe it
And there'll be a brighter sky

Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze

Miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eyes

And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

The Rose
Bette Midler
The Rose


Some say love, it is a river 愛は河だと言う人がいる

That drowns the tender reed 弱くもろい人は溺れてしまう

Some say love, it is a razor 愛は鋭い刃物だと言う人も

That leaves your soul to bleed あなたの心を切り刻むから

Some say love, it is a hunger また愛は飢えだと言う人がいる

An endless aching need 満たされることのない渇望だと

I say love, it is a flower 私は愛を 花と喩えたい

And you, it’s only seed あなたはその大切な種なの


It's the heart afraid of breaking 傷つくのを恐れていては

That never learns to dance 踊ることはできない

It's the dream afraid of waking 夢から覚めるのを恐れていては

That never takes a chance いつまでもチャンスを掴めない

It's the one who won't be taken 慈愛に欠く人の元に

Who cannot seem to give 運命の人は訪れない

And the soul afraid of dying 死ぬことばかり怯えるような心は

That never learns to live 生きる意味を見失っている


When the night has been too lonely 孤独な夜を迎えても

And the road has been too long 道のりが長くても

And you think that love is only 愛なんて どうせ幸運で強い人にしか

For the lucky and the strong やって来ないと感じても

Just remember in the winter どうか思い出して

Far beneath the bitter snows 真冬の雪深く埋もれた花の種が

Lies the seed that with the sun's love 太陽の恵みを一身に浴びて

In the spring becomes the rose 春には美しいバラを咲かせることを

Try Everything
Shakira
Try Everything

I messed up tonight
I lost another fight
I still mess up but I'll just start again
I keep falling down
I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now to see what's next
Birds don't just fly
They fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it won

*I won’t give up, no I won’t give in
Till I reach the end
And then I’ll start again
No I won't leave
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won’t give up, no I won’t give in
Till I reach the end
And then I’ll start again
No I won't leave
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail

**Oh oh oh oh oh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh oh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh oh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh oh
Look how far you've come
You filled your heart with love
Baby you've done enough
Take a deep breath
Don't beat yourself up
Don't need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last but we did our best

* repeat

I'll keep on making those new mistakes
I'll keep on making them every day
Those new mistakes

**repeat

Try everything...

We're the World
USA for America

USA for America

 1985年、アフリカの飢餓救済のため、マイケルジャクソンをはじめとした全米を代表する歌手たちによって作られた歌です。 8,000を超えるラジオ局で放送され、世界各国でチャート1位を獲得、収益は6,300万ドルで印税は全てチャリティとして寄付されました。
 平成の児童にも認知度が高く、私が学期末にとる授業アンケート・歌いたい洋楽でも多くの子があげる歌です。私の授業ではDVDを見せ、一緒に歌います。

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 to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need

*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
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

*Repeat

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

*Repeat

When You Grow Up
Sesame Street Song

When You Grow Up

The deep sea diver says, “This is the place to be
Swimming with the fishes here under the sea!”
Whoa - oooo
Would you like to be a deep sea diver
And the taxi driver says, “Come for a ride
I'll take you where you want to go, just step inside!”
Whoa - oooo
Would you like to be a taxi driver

Folks call the veterinarian and say, “Come quick!”
When their dog or cat or horse or cow or moose gets sick
And the barber says, “Sit here in my barber's chair
And I'll take a pair of scissors and I'll cut your hair.”
Carpenters gets hammers, drills and other tools
To make us chairs and tables and homes and schools
Whoa - oooo
Being a carpenter would hit the spot

And astronauts blast off from their base
They say “We love to do experiments in outer space.”
Whoa - oooo
It could be fun to be an astronaut
So many things to do
When you grow up
Is one of these the job for you
When you grow up
When you grow up, yeah!

You Are My Sunshine
Jasmine Thompson

You Are My Sunshine


The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you
And make you happy
And nothing else could come between
But if you leave me to allow another
You'll have shattered all of my dreams

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
