Junior Choir- Foundation and Grade 1 Students

I’m a Believer

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That’s the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I’m in love, and I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
The more I gave the less I got oh yeah
What’s the use in tryin’
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I’m in love, I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her if I tried

What’s the use of trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I’m in love, I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her if I tried

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
Now I’m a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now I’m a believer
Then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind

Here Comes Santa Claus

 

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pullin’ on the reins
Bells are ringin’, children singin’, all is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys for boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed, and cover your head, ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pullin’ on the reins
Bells are ringin’, children singin’, all is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
 Santa Claus comes tonight

Junior Choir:
The CPS Junior Choir is open to students in Foundation and Grade 1. It is held on Thursday lunch times in the Junior School Art Room. In this choir we focus on developing fundamental music skills, group singing, and learning basic repertoire in French and English. Students will learn how to participate in choir, and what is expected of choir members. Lesson structure includes team-building activities and warm-ups based on methods such as Kodàly.  After our warm-ups we then learn and practise repertoire, which includes current popular songs and French “comptines”.

Pure Imagination

Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination

We’ll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we’ll see will defy explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There’s nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you’ll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to see magic lands
Close your eyes and you will see one
Want to be a dreamer, be one
Anytime you please and please save me one

Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination

There is no place to go
To compare with your imagination
So go there to be free
If you truly wish to be

Living there
You’ll be free
If you truly wish to be

The Heart of Camberwell

With open hearts and hands
We welcome one and all

From all across the lands
United we stand tall

With kindness and respect
We journey here as one
Avec la gentillesse
Nous apprenons ensemble

With open hearts and minds
We learn and share and play
La découverte de soi
En Anglais et Français

Nous chantons sous une voix
En marchant main à main
Nous voyageons ensemble
On partage un chemin

The spirit of our school
The chiming of our bell
We’ll carry all our lives
The heart of Camberwell

BELIEVE – Singup – Lin Marsh

When I look up to the stars,
There’s a burning deep inside me
And I feel a power growing in my soul. There is something I can sense,
Deep within a dream to guide me,
And I know that I am reaching for my goal.

I can do anything at all,
I can climb the highest mountain,
I can feel the ocean calling wild and free. I can be anything I want,
With this hope to drive me onward,
If I can just believe in me.

When the skies are dark and grey,
We still know the sun is shining:
Though it’s out of sight, its light is glowing still.
And as long as I believe,
There is nothing I can’t wish for;
Not a dream that I’m unable to fulfill.

I can do anything at all,
I can climb the highest mountain,
I can feel the ocean calling wild and free. I can be anything I want,
With this hope to drive me onward,
If I can just believe in me.

And whatever it takes I’ll find it somehow;

Whatever it needs I’ll show I’m strong.

Whatever it takes I’ll make it happen:

Finding out where I belong.

 

When I look up to the stars,
There’s a burning deep inside me
And I feel a power growing in my soul.

I can do anything at all,
I can climb the highest mountain,
I can feel the ocean calling wild and free. I can be anything I want,
With this hope to drive me onward,
If I can just believe in me
If I can just believe in me
