    Hope for a generation by Fat Freddy's Drop

    Hope for a generation...
    hope for a generation...

    Just beyond my reach...

    Not beyond my sights

    yeaaahhhh...

    I'll see it singin'
    Hope for a generation
    I'll see it singin' hope for a generation

    I wanna drip like honey from the honey bee,
    Walk from the river down to the sea,
    Fly through the face of a thunder cloud

    Break down

    Down on the people that won't allow...

    Not gonna let them cheat me,
    Not gonna let them hold me,
    Not gonna let them tell me,

    noooo

    ...won't let them keep me...

    I love the music
    I love the music

    The music is me
    The music is you
    The music can be
    Something we do

    The music is good
    The music is right
    The music can stand strong
    Right thru the night

    The music can hold you
    The music can keep you
    safe from harm...
    ...in her beautiful arms

    The music is you yeah
    thing we do...
    ...it's the thing we do

    It's the thing that's gonna get me thru

    great thread!

    Smile/written by Charlie Chaplin

    Smile
    tho'
    your heart is aching,
    Smile
    Even though it's breaking,
    When there are clouds in the sky- You'll get by,
    If you
    Smile through your fear and sorrow,
    Smile and maybe tomorrow
    You'll see the sun come shining through- 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 worthwhile,
    If you just smile.
    Music is justice.

    Billy Paul - Bring the Family Back (I remember when I first heard this I could not stop listening to it!)

    Haven't you noticed
    A breakdown in the family tie
    Just not as strong as it once was
    Every time I see it weaken, it makes me want to cry

    Oh, what a shame [Oh, what a shame]
    'Cause another home's falling apart
    Oh, what a shame [Oh ,what a shame]
    Another group of broken hearts

    It's not a secret
    We all know that it's slipping away
    Don't let it go, no, don't you let it go
    It is the only true foundation on which we can survive

    Don't be afraid [Don't be afraid]
    'Cause you got to take it for a stand
    Don't be afraid [Don't be afraid]
    You've got to try to understand

    Bring the family back, bring it back together
    Bring the family back
    Bring the family back, bring it back together
    Together

    Bring the family back, bring it back together
    Bring the family back

    There's also the children
    The future's quickly comin' their way
    How it will be
    Oh, tell me how do you think it will be

    Will they all join hands together and live in harmony

    Oh, what a shame [Oh, what a shame]
    If we don't get together fast
    Oh what a shame [Oh what a shame]
    How much longer will the whole thing last

    Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
    Bring the family back
    Bring the family back, bring the family back and together

    Bring the family back and live in harmony
    Bring the family back
    Bring back family unity

    Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
    Bring the family back
    Bring the family back together, bring 'em family back
    Bring 'em back together

    Bring the family back and live in harmony
    Bring the family back
    Bring the family back, where's the unity
    Bring the family back

    Bring the old folks, the young folks, and all folks together
    Just bring the people back
    Bring the family back [Bring the family back, bring it back together]
    [Bring the family back]

    Bring the family back
    Bring the family back
    Bring the family back
    Bring it all the time together

    Bring the family back together [Bring the family back, bring it back
    together]
    [Bring the family back]
    [Bring the family back, bring it back together]
    [Bring the family back]

    [Bring the family back]
