Sing a Song of Sixpence

Music Celebration and Winnipeg Music Festival

Click HERE to sing along with the music.

Sing a Song of Sixpence

 

Sing a song of six-pence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie,

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the King.

1. The King was in his counting house counting out his money.

2. The Queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey.

3. The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes,

All: When down came a black bird and pecked off her nose!

Sing a song of six-pence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie,

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the King.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the King.

May a Rainbow Run Beside You

May love and laughter light your days 

and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours 

wherever you may roam.

May a rainbow run beside you in a sky 

that’s always blue,

And may happiness fill your heart each day,

And bless you your whole life through.

May peace and plenty bless your world 

with joy that long endures.

May all life’s passing seasons bring the best 

to you and yours!

May a rainbow run beside you in a sky 

that’s always blue,

And may happiness fill your heart each day,

And bless you your whole life through.

And may happiness fill your heart each day,

And bless you your whole life through.

Remembrance Day Song #2

We Can Make a Difference

Click HERE to play the accompaniment so you can sing along.

Here we are at the dawning of a new day.

Soon all of the future will be ours.

And we can do our part to make a better world 

If we always keep on reaching for the stars!

If we try, you and I can make a diff’rence.

If we try, we can make our dreams come true.

And one day we can live to see a world 

of peace and harmony.

Yes, we can make a diff’rence if we try.

Side by side, we can learn to work together.

Hand in hand, we can build a better day.

For what the future brings is up to you and me,

So let’s do our very best along the way.

If we try, you and I can make a diff’rence.

If we try, we can make our dreams come true.

And one day we can live to see a world 

of peace and harmony.

Yes, we can make a diff’rence if we try.

Yes, we can make a diff’rence, you and I.

Remembrance Day Song #1

The Crestview Singers have been learning the following song for 

the Remembrance Day Assembly. If you would like to sing along to

 this song, click HERE.  

I Ask for One Day

by Jim Papoulis

I ask for one day

Where I don’t have to hear about pain or life that’s lost, I ask for day

Where whispers of hope are alive inside in my heart.

Where there is freedom, and justice, and judgment is gone. I ask for one day

Where I don’t have to hear about pain.

I ask for one day in my life

Where there is sunshine through the shadows; only one day in my life

Where the world is at peace as I sing.

Just one day.

I ask for one day

When I close my eyes and I see the hope in me, I ask for one day

Where war is a dream of the past, of long ago,

Where there is freedom, and justice, and judgment is gone. I ask for one day

Where I don’t have to hear about pain.

I ask for one day in my life…..

One day for only beauty

One day when we can open our hearts, one day where hope is endless

One day to be free.

Only one day in my life…..

I ask for one day        just one day.

Choir Songs

When I Close My Eyes

When I close my eyes then I can see, when I close my eyes I'm alive
When I close my eyes then I can see and I am not afraid

When I try to see the reasons why if I ever could understand
When I find the hope to let me try and I am not afraid

Take me to the river, take me to the sea
Climb the highest mountain and go there with me

When I close my eyes then I can see
And I am not afraid

Now I am learning the magic within me
And that is the reason I'm standing so tall
Deep in my heart is a voice that is speaking
If I keep believing then I will not fall

Take me to the river, take me to the sea
Climb the highest mountain And go there with me

Take me where the wind blows, take me to the sun
Take me to a river that flows to the sea

When I try to see the reasons why, if I ever could understand
I would find the hope to let me try and I am not afraid
And I am not afraid.
