His Hand In Mine Composer(s): Mosie Lister Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
You may ask me how I know my Lord is real (my Lord is real) You may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel (the way I feel) But I know he's real today he'll always be (he'll always be) I can feel his hand in mine and that's enough for me
I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand) He will guide each step I take And if I fall I know he'll understand Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so) I can feel his hand in mine That's all I need to know
I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand) He will guide each step I take And if I fall I know he'll understand Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so) I can feel his hand in mine That's all I need to know
I can feel his hand in mine That's all I need to know
Stay Awake Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman - Richard M. Sherman First release by: Julie Andrews - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Stay awake don't rest your head Don't lie down upon your bed While the moon drifts in the skies Stay awake don't close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep Though your pillows soft and deep You're not sleepy as you seem Stay awake don't nod and dream Stay awake don't nod and dream
His Eye Is On The Sparrow Composer(s): Civilla D. Martin; Charles H. Gabriel Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson; and various other artists
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free For His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
"Let not your heart be troubled" His tender word I hear And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free For His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free For His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me
Stay As Sweet As You Are Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel First performance by: Lanny Ross - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
Stay as sweet as you are Don't let a thing Ever change you Stay as sweet as you are Don't let a soul Rearrange you
Don't ever lose The charm you possess Your loveliness, darling The way you say "yes" Stay as sweet as you are Discreet as you are You're divine, dear
Stay as grand as you are And as you are Tell me that you're mine, dear Young and gay or old and gray Near to me or afar Night and day I pray That you'll always stay As sweet as you are
Young and gay or old and gray Near to me or afar Night and day I pray That you'll always stay As sweet as you are
Hiroshima Mon Amour Composer(s): Warren Cann; Billy Currie; John Foxx Performer(s): Ultravox
Somehow we drifted off too far Communicate like distant stars Splintered voices down the 'phone The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no Someone waits behind the door Hiroshima mon amour
Riding inter-city trains Dressed in European grey Riding out to echo beach A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no How can I ever let them go? Hiroshima mon amour
Meet beneath the autumn lake Where only echoes penetrate Walk through polaroids of the past Future's fused like shattered glass, the sun's so low Turns our silhouettes to gold Hiroshima mon amour

Sous les caresses du soleil Entre ciel et mer oublie tes galères Et si la vie te mènes en bateau Laisse toi aller et viens danser Si tas lamour en mille morçeaux Et le cur à plat lbonheur à zéro Jai ce quil te faut pour te soigner Un ptit coup de rein bien balancé Bouge, bouge les mains le corps et les reins Laisse toi bercer jusquau bout de lété Bouge, bouge les mains le corps et les reins Sur la musique pour saimer

Can't go home if you're going by the mill 'Cause the bridge' washed out at the bottom of the hill Big Creek's up, Little Creek's level Plow my corn with a double shovel

Sitting in the window, singing to my love Slop bucket fell from the window up above Mule and the grasshopper eatin ice cream mule got sick, so they laid him on the green
You ought to see my Blue Eyed Sally She lives way down on Shinbone Alley Number on the gate, the number on the door The next house over is the grocery store
Grab your partner, pat her on the head If she don't like biscuits, feed her cornbread Girls around Big Creek, 'bout half grown Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
Open your box Open your box Open your trousers Open your thighs Open your legs Open, open, open, open, oooh Open, open, open, open Open your legs Open your flies Open your ears Open your nose Open your mouth Open, open, open, open, oooh Open Open your cold feet Open, open Open, open, open, let's open, let's open the cities Open the cites Open, open, open the world Open, let's open the world Open, open, oooh Open, open, ooh!

Hippo Stomp Composer(s): Larry Byrom; John Kay Performer(s): Steppenwolf
If I should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody would know me But if I don't believe I can and still say "Hear my plan" Somebody would follow just because it's free
We're all Hippos rollin' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos slidin' in the water Somehow we're stompin' around Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp Any time I feel disgusted You'll see me do the hippo stomp Hey! Hey! You should try it when you're feelin' blue
If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know you But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man" Somebody will follow just because it's free
We're all Hippos rollin' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos slindin' in the water Somehow we're stompin' around You stop and watch me while you're out on your midnite romp And I can feel the silent question What the heck is the Hippo Stomp?
Let me answer you and let me tell ya true Just how I feel when I'm down Sometimes I wonder You'll see me stumblin' around But you just point and stare Come on let me hear ya Somewhere there's a voice down inside And when you find it let it teach you how to ask the question "why" Just because we live together We don't have to like each other So please don't fall asleep on me again Nobody, nobody, nobody knows for sure You just might never wake up from the dream Hey! Speak up let me hear ya Let me show you 'round the reservation I know my way around these parts I've lived here long enough Now you can have a taste, an indication Of things and times to come
If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know you But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man" Somebody will follow just because it's free
Early in the morning, late at night Somebody seems to know just how this thing work's right 'Cause every time I come around the corner somebody's looking out my door He's been snoopin' like a hound I'll grab his neck and shake him on down
We're all Hippos rollin' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos slindin' in the water Somehow we're stompin' around

Hippie From Olema Composer(s): Lowell Levinger Performer(s): The Youngbloods
Well Im proud to be a hippie from Olema Where were friendly to the squares and all the straights We still take in strangers if theyre ragged We cant think of anyone to hate
We dont watch commercials in Olema We dont buy the plastic crap they sell We still wear our hair long like folks used to And we bathe often, therefore we dont smell
Well Im proud to be a hippie from Olema Where were friendly to the squares and all the straights We still take in strangers if theyre ragged We cant think of anyone to hate
We dont throw our beer cans on the highway We dont slide a man because hes black We dont spill our oil out in the ocean Cause we love birds and fish too much for that
And Im proud to be a hippie from Olema Where were friendly to the squares and all the straights We still take in strangers if theyre Haggard In Olema, California, Planet Earth

Hippie Boy Composer(s): Chris Hillman; Gram Parsons Performer(s): The Flying Burrito Brothers
I was walking down the street the other day And a sight came before my eyes It was a little hippie boy, I must have been twice his size His appearence typified his strange breed Gaudy clothes, long stringy hair hanging down I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town As he walked beside me on down the block I noticed no unpleasing smell He might have been on the weed or even LSD But if he was I couldn't tell So we walked together that way through this neighborhood Finally he turned around to me And he said friend, you know we're a million miles apart But you know something we can enjoy the sunshine and the weather So why don't we put our differences aside And just talk to each other You see this box beneath my arm To you it's plain, it has no charm But to someone dearest to my heart this box has played a tragic part This little one can't tell you himself about his life and how he died But if anyone else could speak for him I guess I'm qualified This boy was in Chicago, he didn't know why he was there He was with his family and friends and he didn't really care You might have been one of those Who saw the struggle there on your television screen The tragic thing is so much else happened That no one else could have seen A stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore To carry a package to a nearby hotel And when he returned he'd get two more But when he came back he sort of lost his way walking thru the crowd One of them things you ask yourself, how the Lord allowed But when he was found he was like he is now Dreaming sweet and still And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill Now you can take that dollar Get four cents on it compound it quarterly at any downtown bank So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb Well, what I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave You kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing It's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat Now could you help us sing this song, please There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray I will think of the little hippie boy that way
Hush Baby Hush ((Adapted from: Stay (by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs) - 1960)) (Italian Version: Resta - 1966) Composer(s): Maurice Williams - Buju Banton Performer(s): Buju Banton - 1995

Hip To Be Square Composer(s): Bill Gibson; Sean Hopper; Huey Lewis Performer(s): Huey Lewis & The News; Barry Williams
I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around But I couldn't take the punishment, and had to settle down Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care Because I can tell what's going on It's hip to be square I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on TV I'm working out most everyday and watching what I eat They tell me that it's good for me, but I don't even care I know that it's crazy I know that it's nowhere But there is no denying that It's hip to be square It's not too hard to figure out, you see it everyday And those that were the farthest out have gone the other way You see them on the freeway It don't look like a lot of fun But don't you try to fight it "An idea who's time has come" Don't tell me that I'm crazy Don't tell me I'm nowhere Take it from me It's hip to be square
