Let Joy And Innocence Prevail Composer(s): Hans Zimmer - Trevor Horn Performer(s): Grace Jones
I tell you of a girl, her husband was a soldier Gone to war in some strange country far away No word had come to her But the rumors of great battles fought Men dying in their thousands and a world full of fear As the day would turn to evening she would light a pure white candle And place it in a window bright from where it could be seen As she placed it in the window softly without thinking She said let this burning candle be a beacon
Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail
And one night, asleep, she dreamed she saw her husband fall In a great white cavalry charge And waking in tears, she saw the candle burning in the window She still had hope And through the window, a man in the distance But has he came closer, she saw he was a stranger
The stranger said I bring a message from a general A captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a thread He calls out your name and he wishes you to come to him But the journey is a hard road and you may be afraid
And she laughed and said no road could be too hard for I am fearless A captain and a husband I have gained this bright new day And she said with all her heart she would fly to be beside him And her love would heal his wounds, restore him to her
Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail

Let It Shine Composer(s): Austin Roberts - Bill LaBounty - Beckie Foster Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
There's a star up above the horizon And it's shining for you and me Something tells me this was meant to be Do you feel like a dance in the moonlight Is your heart beating crazy like mine? You've got something burning bright Don't keep it locked inside
Let it shine, show me your light Let it shine, keep it shining into the night Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Don't you wish you could live every moment Like that moment's the best one you'll see? That's the way the world is supposed to be When you find someone you can believe in Letting go is the easy part Just close your eyes and take a breath And open up your heart
Let it shine, show me your light Let it shine, keep it shining into the night Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Everyone puts in their time alone in the dark Reach out and you're gonna find The very best part of who you are
Let it shine, show me your light Let it shine, keep it shining into the night Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Let it shine, ohh...show me your light Let it shine, keep it shining into the night Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Let it shine, ohh...won't you let it shine? Let it shine, keep it shining into the night Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me ...
Let It Ring
Composer(s): Lyn Duddy - Joan Edwards
Performer(s): Doris Day; Steve Beresford & His Piano And Orch.
Baby, your eyes have that look
And, baby, I put down my book
And maybe, we won't be disturbed
By a thing
Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring
Oh, baby, I've got you alone
And, baby, I'm not made of stone
And maybe, we won't be disturned
By a thing, this is too much
Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring
Doesn't matter who's on the line
When your lips are so close to mine
Don't let anybody intrude on this mood
We're incommunicado
Baby, if someone should call
Ignore it, do nothing at all
Just kiss me, who knows what
This moment may bring
Just let it ring, let it ring
Oh, let it ring

Sleep all day, drive all night Brain my numb, can't stop now For sure ain't no doubt Keep an open mind, let it all hang out
It's rainin' inside a big brown moon How does that mess you baby up, leg Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out
