I Have Confidence Composer(s): Richard Rodgers First release by: Julie Andrews - 1965
What will this day be like? I wonder What will my future be? I wonder It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free My heart should be wildly rejoicing Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure To do the things I've never dared And here I'm facing adventure Then why am I so scared
A captain with seven children What's so fearsome about that?
Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries If I don't I just know I'll turn back I must dream of the things I am seeking I am seeking the courage I lack
The courage to serve them with reliance Face my mistakes without defiance Show them I'm worthy And while I show them I'll show me
So, let them bring on all their problems I'll do better than my best I have confidence they'll put me to the test But I'll make them see I have confidence in me
Somehow I will impress them I will be firm but kind And all those children (Heaven bless them!) They will look up to me
And mind me with each step I am more certain Everything will turn out fine I have confidence the world can all be mine They'll have to agree I have confidence in me
I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in rain I have confidence that spring will come again Besides which you see I have confidence in me
Strength doesn't lie in numbers Strength doesn't lie in wealth Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers When you wake up -- Wake Up!
It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to All I trust becomes my own I have confidence in confidence alone (Oh help!)
I have confidence in confidence alone Besides which you see I have confidence in me!
The Shut-In's Prayer Composer(s): Jimmy Martin - Paul Williams Performer(s): Jimmy Martin & The Sunny Mountain Boys
Last night as the moon pulled anchor And sailed down the milky way It peeked through an old front window Where a lonely shut-in lay
The moon seemed to shine much brighter Each star seemed to nod it's head The night seemed so strangely peaceful When they heard what the shut-in said
Dear God way up in heaven I earnestly pray to thee And my prayer, oh Lord, was thou answered And lay a healing hand on me
This vain world seems to forget me, Lord And I've been a shut-in so long I'm needing thy love, dear Jesus And still in my heart a song
Lord, I ask not for gold or silver And no diamonds to call my own Just give me that touch of healing I'm so weak and all alone
I trust that I'm not asking too much Of thy heavenly wealth When humbly, dear Lord, I pray thee Just give me back my health
Then off to dreamland the shut-in drifted Yes, God heard what the shut-in said The night seemed so strangely peaceful When they heard what the shut-in said
Cold Composer(s): Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst; Simon Johnathon Gallup Originally performed by: The Cure
Scarred Your back was turned Curled like an embryo Take another face You will be kissed again I was cold as I mouthed the words And crawled across the mirror I wait Await the next breath Your name Like ice into my heart A shallow grave A monument to the ruined age Ice in my eyes And eyes like ice don't move Screaming at the moon Another past time Your name Like ice into my heart
Everything as cold as life Can no one save you? Everything As cold as silence And you never say a word Your name Like ice into my heart Your name Like ice into my heart

The Shrine Of St. Cecilia Composer(s): Pern Jokern - Carroll Loveday Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters and multiple other artists
Our home is a shambles, all I treasured has gone The town seems deserted, everyone's so forlorn A storm came from up above but somehow it missed The shrine of Saint Cecilia
The bells in the chapel never ring anymore The clock in the steeple can't tell time as before But up on the hillside, stands a place heaven blest The shrine of Saint Cecilia
Each day at eventide When I seek haven from my daily care You'll find me by her side It seems so peaceful there
I kneel in my solitude and silently pray That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a day The storm will be over and that we'll meet again At the shrine of Saint Cecilia
Each day at eventide When I seek haven from my daily care You'll find me by her side It seems so peaceful there
I kneel in my solitude and silently pray That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a day The storm will be over and that we'll meet again At the shrine of Saint Cecilia
Cola De Amor Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
No me queda bien estar fingiendo aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien A veces sin rumbo cola de amor voy a buscarte espero aqui o me voy
Miran otros ojos alrededor no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor Mas de diez años mas que los vientos mas un dolor no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor
Para poder seguir tengo que empazar todo de nuevo un canto libre para la luna y para vos En una orilla todos los dias descansaran y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar te espero
No me queda bien estar fingiendo aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien A veces sin rumbo cola de amor voy a buscarte espero aqui o me voy
Para poder seguir tengo que empazar todo de nuevo un canto libre para la luna y para vos En una orilla todos los dias descansaran y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar te espero
No me queda bien estar fingiendo aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien Mas de diez años mas que los vientos mas un dolor no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor
Ride The Wild Surf Composer(s): Jan Berry; Roger Christian; Brian Wilson Performer(s): Jan & Dean; and various other artists
In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay Where the best surfers in the world come to stay And ride the wild surf, they come to try To conquer those waves some thirty feet high
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Gotta take that one last ride
Surf fever brings 'em here to meet the test And hangin' 'round the beach you'll see the best They're waxed up and ready, just a-waitin' for The surf to build up on the northern shore
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Gotta take that one last ride
Lined up and waitin' for that next big set outside Nothin' can stop it 'cause you Just gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
The heavies at the Pipeline are OK But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay It takes a lot of skill and courage unknown To catch a last wave and ride it in alone
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Gotta take that one last
Gotta take that one last ride
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Ride, ride, ride the wild surf Gotta take that one last ri-i-i-i-i-i-ide
The Soul Is The Rock Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved Nothing is disputed, yet nothing is disproved And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow Say what you like to do what you do Everyone's sleeping now, two by two Bats in the roof, cats in the hall Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Big rain comin' Big rain comin' this way Rain on the rock Rain on the rock Rain on the rock
The sea is the space which the rock has displaced The mind is some stranger that the soul has embraced And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed Say what you like to do what you can Live like a sheep, die like a lamb Bats in the roof, cats in the hall Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Big rain comin' Big rain comin' this way Rain on the rock Rain on the rock Rain on the rock
The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left Late one night when the moon shone down We went to the mill on the edge of the town She wore white, I wore black The town was sleeping when we got back
Big rain comin' Big rain comin' this way Rain on the rock Rain on the rock Rain on the rock
The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed Though man must be cheated just as women must be charmed And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be Say what you like to do what you do Everyone's sleeping now two by two Bats in the roof, cats in the hall Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Oh Big rain comin' Big rain comin' this way Rain on the rock Rain on the rock Rain on the rock
The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved Nothing is disputed yet nothing is disproved And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
The Shoemaker's Serenade Composer(s): Edward Lisbona - Joe Lubin Performer(s): Lou Preager and multiple other artists
He'll mend your shoes for you, he'll mend your blues for you With clicks of the tricks of the trade For as he taps away your heart will start to sway To the shoemaker's serenade
The things that gent can do to any bent old shoe No matter how tattered and frayed And as he sews your seams he mends your broken dreams With his shoemaker's serenade
I'd like to state his work is great And if you wait he won't take long And you can watch the children of the neighbourhood Gaily dancing to his merry song
If you're along the street and hear a song that's sweet It's not any penny arcade It's just a cobbler gay who shoos your blues away With the shoemaker serenade
Col Tempo
((Adapted from: Avec Le Temps (by Léo Ferré) - 1970))
Composer(s): Léo Ferré - Enrico Medail
Performer(s): Patty Pravo - 1972
Col tempo sai Col tempo tutto se ne va Non ricordi più il viso Non ricordi la voce Quando il cuore ormai tace A che serve cercare Ti lasci andare e forse è meglio cosi
Col tempo sai Col tempo tutto se ne va
L'altro che adoravi che cercavi nel buio L'altro che indovinavi In un batter di ciglia Tra le frasi e le righe, in fondo di tinta Di promesse agghindate Per uscire a ballare
Col tempo sai Tutto scompare
Col tempo sai Col tempo tutto se ne va Ogni cosa appassisce Io mi scopro a frugare In vetrine di morte Quando il sabato sera La tenerezza rimane senza compagnia
Col tempo sai Col tempo tutto se ne va L'altro a cui tu credevi Anche a un colpo di tosse L'altro che ricoprivi Di gioielli e di vento Ed avresti impegnato anche l'anima al monte A cui ti trascinavi Alla pari di un cane
Col tempo sai Tutto va bene
Col tempo sai Col tempo tutto se ne va Non ricordi più il fuoco Non ricordi le voci E la gente da poco E il loro sussurrare Non ritardare copriti col freddo che fa
Col tempo sai Col tempo tutto se ne va E ti senti il biancore Di un cavallo sfiancato In un letto straniero Ti senti gelato Solitario ma in fondo in pace col mondo E ti senti tradito dagli anni perduti
Ride The Tiger Composer(s): Byong Yu; Grace Slick; Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
I want to ride the tiger I want to ride the tiger It will be black and white in the dead of night Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight I want to ride the tiger
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man Tell you about salt, carbon and water But a tear to a chinese man He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman
I want to ride the tiger I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you We got something to learn from the other side Something to give, we got nothing to hide I want to ride the tiger
Black wants out of the streets Yellow wants the country Red wants the country back And white wants out of this world Sing - sing to the sky I want to ride the tiger I want to ride the tiger
Look to the summer of seventy-five All the world is gonna come alive Do you want to ride the tiger?
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man Tell you about salt, carbon and water But a tear to an oriental man He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman
The mighty Sons of Hercules Once thundered through the years These men of steel could never feel The curse of a coward's fears
The Mighty Sons of Hercules Were men as men should be They burned with dreams And turned their dreams into history
A hundred giants, brave and bold They ruled the world in days of old
The Mighty Sons of Hercules Were men as men should be They took the world and shook the world The Sons of Hercules
The Mighty Sons of Hercules Once thundered through the years These men of steel could never feel The curse of a coward's fears
The Mighty Sons of Hercules Were men as men should be They burned with dreams Then turned their dreams into history
They are there when the need arrives There to show that might and right still survive! On land or on the sea, as long as there is need There'll be Sons of Hercules There'll be Sons of Hercules!
Do You Care? Composer(s): Lew Quadling - John M. Elliot Performer(s): Dorothy Carless and multiple other artists
Do you care? Is there a chance for me? Do you care? I wish I knew Won't you try to confess That you find happiness In the tender caress The way I do Do you care that I am so in love Please be fair, you know its true And just supposing I should say That Ive a heart to share Would it matter at all, do you care?
Do you care that I am so in love Please be fair, you know its true And just supposing I should say That Ive a heart to share Would it matter at all, do you care?

Coke, Suede and Waterbeds They've all got bodies but they call them heads And their friends in the legal trade Got Oriental rugs and jade Oh, Mama, please help them. Now they've all got money down House in the country, store in town Baby looks fine in her platform shoes Daddy's got a harp, trying to learn the blues Oh, Mama, please need them This scene is making me insane Everybody seems the same Secret pockets, poison rings Everybody's hiding things There's a girl with a tiger's claw She says I'm made of ice but I love to thaw Oh, Mama, please love her Young cat, dressed in white Feels un-bad cause he thinks he's light Goes down town to the hot congo Hopes to pass for a Chicano Oh, Mama, please love him No one here is to blame Things have always been the same

The Song's Gotta Come From The Heart Performer(s): Frank Sinatra & Jimmy Durante
(Jimmy) It's art that made the mould It's the difference between the big and the small It doesn't have to be witty or smart Just as long as it comes from the heart
It doesn't have to be classic or rock Just as long as it comes from the heart Just put more heart into you voice And you'll become the people's choice
Just make up your mind from the start That the song's gotta come from the heart Just make up your mind from the start That the song's gotta come from the heart
Don't be afraid you'll make your grade Why you can sing as good as Bing That's why I say when you start That the song's gotta come from the heart
(Frank) It doesn't have to be witty or smart Long as it comes from the heart It doesn't have to be classic or rock Long as it comes from the heart
I'll give 'em that I'll give 'em this I'll strut away
(Jimmy) Boy! You can't miss!
(Frank) Just put a star on my chart
(Jimmy) they won't need this anymore!
(Frank) Cause the song's gonna come from the heart
(Jimmy) Don't work cheap!
(Both) On opening nights, your name in lights
(Jimmy) Why we won't stop, 'til you reach the top
(Both) We'll order our meal a la carte That's expensive! If the song comes from the heart
(Frank) We'll be tremendous!
(Both) If the song comes from the heart
(Jimmy) Can't call up Gable
(Both) If the song comes from the heart! H-e-a-r-t!
Coisas Da Vida Composer(s): Milton Nascimento Performer(s): Milton Nascimento
nunca é igual se for bem natural se for de coração além do bem e do mal coisas da vida o amor enfim ficou senhor de mim e eu fiquei assim calado, sem latim coisas da vida coma foi que eu cheguei aqui quem me diria que esse era meu fim olho no teu olhar a testa de estar de bem com a vida o luar girou a sorte me pegou tesouro te encontrarei sem garimpar no ouro da paixão na febre da paixão então em mim ser o senhor e ser a presa é um mistério, a maior beleza amor é dom da natureza amar é lago que não escravisa nunca é igual se for bem natural se for de coração além do bem e do mal coisas da vida ...
