If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

SUN IS GONNA SHINE TRIUMPH & DISASTER Charlie A’Court & Chris Kirby (CHAS Music - SOCAN) with adapted works from Rudyard Kipling (Public Domain) Charlie A’Court & Chris Kirby (CHAS Music - SOCAN) Living with this weight on my shoulder, with adapted works from Rudyard Kipling. Makes it hard to get around. I am looking for a place, If you can dream and not make dreams your master, Where I can lay my burden down. If you can think and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph & Disaster, Love surrounds me. Treat those two impostors just the same. It’s strong, it’s simple, it’s pure. No matter what may stand against me, I use to think life was all about getting what I can. One thing I know for sure. Making money was the only love I thought I would have. Then one day I started thinking back when I was a kid. Sun is gonna shine. You know I should have listened up to what my grand daddy said. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. Sun is gonna shine. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. I have heard the truths I’ve spoken, Twisted by knaves, trapping fools. Seen many things in my life get broken, Built ’em back up with worn out tools. Sun is gonna shine. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. Sun is gonna shine. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. The work is hard but it’s worth it. So keep on believing and I promise. Sun is gonna shine. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. Sun is gonna shine. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. Sun is gonna shine. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. Sun is gonna shine. Sun is gonna shine when the rain is done. I GOTTA RUN WORLD AROUND ME Charlie A’Court & Jamie Robinson (CHAS Music - SOCAN) Charlie A’Court (CHAS Music - SOCAN) I don’t care what it is you did. Brother is outside playing in the pouring rain. Just come home tonight. He’ll grow to be his own man someday. We can talk about it in the morning. Footprints left in the sands of time. Try to set things right. Get washed away by the storms of life. Isn’t life all about making mistakes, If we learn not to make them twice. If I find myself down on my knees, Yes I guess my lesson learned is, Would you help me stand again? Not to compromise. If the world around me starts to break down, Would you cover me? What do you mean when you say you need, A change of scene unlike the one you’re in? Children fighting wars they never started. What do you mean when you say, Mama’s praying her boy will come home. “It’s been fun but I gotta run.” News come down the line, somebody fired. Ripped through the crowd and her boy went down. Headlines read, “Hearts will bleed When the truth unfolds.” If I find myself down on my knees, Paper lies and thin disguises. Would you help me stand again? Will we ever learn? If the world around me starts to break down, Would you cover me? What do you mean when you say you need, A change of scene unlike the one you’re in? There is compassion in the hearts of the living. What do you mean when you say, That never dies when the soul passes on. “It’s been fun but I gotta run.”? It don’t matter what shade of skin you’re wearing. ‘Cause underneath we all want the same. If you want I could pretend to be somebody else. To help you see by hurting me you only hurt yourself. If I find myself down on my knees, Would you help me stand again? What do you mean when you say you need, If the world around me starts to break down, A change of scene unlike the one you’re in? Would you cover me? What do you mean when you say, “It’s been fun but I gotta run.”? CHAINS OF GOLD Charlie A’Court & Chris Kirby (CHAS Music - SOCAN) I HOPE I GET TO HEAVEN Baby, I can’t take it anymore. Charlie A’Court & Dave Simpson (CHAS Music - SOCAN) Baby, I can’t take it anymore. Please tell me, what are you looking for? I hope I get to Heaven though I heaven’t earned the right. Searching for forgiveness and it ain’t easy to find. I know there has got to be a change. Peter grabs his coffee and heads out on a break. Oh I know there’s got to be a change. When Peter isn’t looking I can slip in through the gates. We can’t drown our fears in fancy champagne. Singing this song won’t save my soul. You can’t give me thorns and call it a throne. But the choir keeps on preaching my sins would be atoned.
