3 Composed by Leonard Cohen, arr. R. Emerson Composed by Gregory Gilpin

Solo: I’ve heard there was a secret chord S/A: A sound of hope, a sound of peace, That David played, and it pleased the Lord. A sound that celebrates But you don’t really care for music do you? And speaks what we believe. It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, T/B: A sound of love, a sound so strong. The minor fall, the major lift; It’s amazing what is given when we share a song. The baffled king composing Hallelujah. All: This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, All: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Why we stand as one in harmony. This is why we sing, why we lift our voice. Solo: You say I took the name in vain Take my hand and sing with me. Though I don’t even know the name, But if I did, well really, what’s it to you? S/A: Soothe a soul T/B: (Soothe a soul), There’s a blaze of light in every word S/A: Mend a heart T/B: (mend a heart), It doesn’t matter what you heard, All: Bring together lives that have been torn apart. The holy or the broken Hallelujah. T/B: Share the joy S/A: (Share the joy), T/B: Find a friend S/A: (Find a friend). All: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. All: It’s a never-ending gift that circles back again.

All: I did my best, it wasn’t much, This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, I couldn’t feel so I tried to touch, Why we stand as one in harmony. I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you. This is why we sing, why we lift our voice. And even though it all went wrong Take my hand and sing with me. I’ll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah. Music builds a bridge, it can tear down a wall. Music is a language that can speak to one and all! All: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. This is why we sing, why we lift our voice

This is why we sing! We sing! We sing!

T/B: I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She’s coming in 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars That guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way, Hoping to find some old forgotten words Or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, All: Hurry boy, It’s waiting there for you

Chorus: S/A: Gonna take the life that dragged me away from you All: There’s nothing that a hundred men Or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time To do the things we never have

T/B: The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what’s right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what’s , All: Frightened of this thing that I’ve become

Solo (or all): And I never thought I’d feel this way When you walk through a storm And as far as I’m concerned Hold your head up high I’m glad I got the chance to say And don’t be afraid of the dark. That I do believe I love you At the end of a storm is a golden sky And if, I should ever go away And the sweet silver song of a lark. Well then close your eye Walk on through the wind, And try to feel the way we do today Walk on through the rain, And then if you can remember Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart All: Keep smiling, keep shining And you’ll never walk alone Knowing you can always count on me, for sure You’ll never, ever walk alone! That’s what friends are for For/In good times and/in bad times I’ll be on your side forever more That’s what friends are for

Solo: Well you came and opened me And now there’s so much more I see And so by the way I thank you And then, for the times when we’re apart Well then close your eyes and know These words are coming from my heart And then if you can remember

All: Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That’s what friends are for For/In good times and/in bad times I’ll be on your side forever more That’s what friends are for (Repeat Chorus)

T/B: And give me wings to ride the wind Through winter’s storm and summer’s light You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; And let my wings lift me higher You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; And bring me through the night I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. All: Carry me high above the water Carry me high above the plain You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; Carry me far beyond the rising of the sun You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; Bring me home again I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. S/A: (T/B echo) And give me wings to see the mountain There is no life - no life without its hunger; To ride above the clouds so high Each restless heart beats so imperfectly; Together: And let my wings lift me higher But and I am filled with wonder, And bring me through the night Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
