Give a Little Love Away
(Sue C Smith / Gina Boe)
V1
How do you make a difference
When people say it is what it is
How do you make your mark
When you’re just one voice in a world this big
How do you live?
CHORUS
Give, give a little love away
Take a little time to say and do
The things that you
Would want somebody to do for you
‘Cause one spark can turn into a burnin’ flame
And set the whole world ablaze
With a fire that can light up the darkest heart
So let’s start to live like we really wanna give a little love away
V2
Somebody’s waiting for someone
To stop and listen, and maybe that's you
Their day might depend on the way
You help them see how they're gonna make it through
So what will you do?
CHORUS
BRIDGE
When you see things that make your heart break
When you’ve had all you can take
That’s when you take a leap of faith… and

How do you make a difference

When you’re just one voice in a world this big

You Can't Take That
(Sue C. Smith/Gina Boe)
VERSE
Think you’re cool and say I’m not
Well go ahead and take your shot
I’ve already heard all the poison in your words
CHORUS
I’ll be who I wanna be
And you can’t take that
No you can't take that
No matter what you say I'm gonna be me
And you can’t take that
No you can't take that
So here and now I'm takin' a stand
For what I believe and who I am
And you can’t, no you can't
You can’t take that
VERSE
So give me junk and throw me shade
You have your fun, have your say
Give it your best, I’ve still got my self respect
CHORUS
RAP
You come at me with stick and stones
But I’ll take those lines and then I’ll show you
How it’s done with beats and rhyme
And make you listen every time
To all the stuff I have to say with melodies that are gonna make
‘Em sing and ring and bring it home
So every one of you will know
How anyone with a dream and some fight
Can make their mark and shine some light
And someone like me’ll have their back
‘Cause they’ve got heart and you can’t take that
Think you’re cool and say I’m not
Well go ahead and take your shot
I’ve already heard all the poison in your words
CHORUS
I’ll be who I wanna be
And you can’t take that
No you can't take that
No matter what you say I'm gonna be me
And you can’t take that
No you can't take that
So here and now I'm takin' a stand
For what I believe and who I am
And you can’t, no you can't
You can’t take that
VERSE
So give me junk and throw me shade
You have your fun, have your say
Give it your best, I’ve still got my self respect

Children Listen
(Sue C. Smith/Gina Boe)
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere
In April of seventeen seventy five
Through the darkness he carried liberty’s cry
Listen my children about the years
Of the Civil War, the blood and tears
How Abraham Lincoln said slavery must go
And it cost him his own life to make it be so
Oh children listen
Hear freedom's mission
Answer when duty calls
Oh children listen
Hear freedom’s mission
Children give her your all
Listen my children and love this land
For America needs you to stand
Without you the patriots’ dream will be lost
For our freedom is not kept without a great cost
CHORUS
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere
In April of seventeen seventy five
Through the darkness he carried liberty’s cry
Listen my children about the years
Of the Civil War, the blood and tears
How Abraham Lincoln said slavery must go
And it cost him his own life to make it be so
Oh children listen
Hear freedom's mission
Answer when duty calls
Oh children listen
Hear freedom’s mission
Children give her your all
Listen my children and love this land
For America needs you to stand
Without you the patriots’ dream will be lost
For our freedom is not kept without a great cost
