We Call On Him Composer(s): Fred Karger; Ben Weisman; Sid Wayne Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Allen Karl
We call on Him Whenever storm clouds gather We call on Him to light our darkest day Why must it be that only when we're lonely And hopes are dim, we call on Him
Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way To count our blessings and thank Him while we may
We call on Him when no-one else will answer We ask of Him a reason to go on When our cup of joy becomes a cup of sorrow Filled to the brim, we call on Him
Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way To count our blessings and thank Him while we may

We Built This City Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Martin Page; Bernie Taupin; Peter Wolf Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
Chorus We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Say you don't know me or recognize my face Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio Don't you remember We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Repeat Chorus
Someone's always playing corporation games Who cares they're always changing corporation names We just want to dance here someone stole the stage They call us irresponsible write us off the page
Repeat Chorus
It's just another Sunday in a tired old street Police have got the choke hold oh and we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars Don't tell us you need us 'cos we're just simple fools Looking for America crawling through your schools
(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday I've seen that bumper-to-bumper traffic)
Don't you remember (remember)
(Here's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city The city by the bay the city that rocks the city that never sleeps)
Repeat Chorus twice
(We built we built this city) built this city (we built we built this city) Repeat
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Performer(s): Sesame Street
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ I wish I knew exactly what I mean It starts out like an A-word As anyone can see But somewhere in the middle It gets awfully QR to me
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ If I ever find out just what this word can mean I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen
It might be kind of an elephant Or a funny kind of kazoo Or a strange exotic turtle You never see in a zoo Or maybe a kind of a doggie A particular shade of blue Or maybe a pretty flower Naah, not with a name like that...uh, uh!
We Both Walk Composer(s): Tom Shapiro; Chris Waters Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan
Here you are on the porch again With your hat in your hand and a guilty grin Well baby I ain't gonna fall for that just because I always have And I'm not the only one who won't be taken in
Don't you try to come through my door I can't watch you leave anymore When you go we both walk When you go we both walk You walk away and I walk alone
Whenever you get that itch to go You think I just sit and wait at home But I've walked miles behind these walls without getting anywhere at all And I think I've had enough of going down that road
Don't you try to come through my door I can't watch you leave anymore When you go we both walk When you go we both walk You walk away and I walk alone
Don't you try to come through my door I can't watch you leave anymore When you go we both walk When you go we both walk You walk away and I walk alone You walk away and I walk alone

A B C Boogie Composer(s): Al Russell - Max Spickel Performer(s): Bill Haley & His Comets
Down around the corner in a little school Children learn their lessons and the golden rule 'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street And she does her teaching with a boogie beat Teaching the ABC with rhythm and E Every single morning, it's the same old thing All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring When they hear it ringing, they all jump in line Walking to the classroom, feeling mighty fine They learn their ABC with rhythm and E Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick No education is ever complete Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet When the day is over and it's time to go The children get their books and stand right at the door Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit To educate the kids and make 'em really fit To say their ABC with rhythm and E

We Belong To The Night Composer(s): Ellen Foley Performer(s): Ellen Foley
The burning sun hangs over the city You and me baby, we don't feel nothing at all From nine to five we're lost This life ain't so pretty But when the sun goes down We know that we can stay and talk
I just can't wait For the night to come Cause when the shadows cover the light We're the only ones Cause baby, we We belong to the night Yes, baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night
Dancing' on the street In the heat of the neon The quiet in the cool night air Makes it easy to breathe The music that we hear in our heats Gives us something to dream of Cause when that lonely soul that calls It's those dreams that we'll need To keep us strong To take us far Far away from the pain of the days Cause that's a cruel mental start
But baby, we We belong to the night Yes baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night
Ahh ahh-ahh-ahh We belong to the night Yes, yes baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night We belong to the night We belong to the night

We Are The World Composer(s): Michael Jackson; Lionel Richie Performer(s): Michael Jackson
There comes a time when we hear a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying and its time to lend a hand to life There greatest gift of all
We cant go on pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of Gods great big family And the truth, you know, Love is all we need
Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving Theres a choice we're making We're saving out own lives its 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 stones to brend So we all must lend a helping hand
Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving Theres a choice we're making We're saving out own lives its true we'll make a better day Just you and me
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe theres no way we can fall Let us realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one
Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving out own lives its true we'll make a better day Just you and me
We Are The Champions Composer(s): Freddie Mercury Performer(s): Queen
I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through
We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
I've taken my bows And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I ain't gonna lose
Won and won and won We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions
Abandoned Love Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release by: Bob Dylan - 1985 Covered by multiple other artists
I can hear the turning of the key I've been deceived by the clown inside of me I thought that he was righteous but he's vain Oh, something's a-telling me I wear the ball and chain
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost He's always off somewhere when I need him most The Spanish moon is rising on the hill But my heart is a-tellin' me I love ya still
I come back to the town from the flaming moon I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon I love to see you dress before the mirror Won't you let me in your room one time 'fore I finally disappear?
Everybody's wearing a disguise To hide what they've got left behind their eyes But me, I can't cover what I am Wherever the children go I'll follow them
I march in the parade of liberty But as long as I love you I'm not free How long must I suffer such abuse Won't you let me see you smile one time before I turn you loose?
I've given up the game, I've got to leave The pot of gold is only make-believe The treasure can't be found by men who search Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list My head tells me it's time to make a change But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange
One more time at midnight, near the wall Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit? Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it
We Are In Love Composer(s): Chris Andrews Performer(s): Adam Faith
Just the way she smiles and says hello I can't help but let my feelings show I'll hold her hand and tell her things I know she wants to know (La, da, da) I will never make her blue (La, da, da) I will never be untrue We are in love, and we'll keep it this way
Never been so much in love before Now I am, I want it more and more And that Shavian love I know we'll have for ever more
(La, da, da) I will never make her blue (La, da, da) I will never be untrue We are in love, and we'll keep it this way
Love, love, love, has made all my dreams come true Love, love, love, it's strange what you can do I'm in heaven when she kisses me I hear angels singing happily And with this love of mine I'm as happy as I'll ever be
(La, da, da) I will never make her blue (La, da, da) I will never be untrue We are in love, and we'll keep it this way We are in love, and we'll keep it this way
