Paroles Destin
Y’a pas de voiles aux volets de mes frères
Y’a pas d’opale autour de mes doigts
Ni cathédrale ou cacher mes prières
Juste un peu d’or autour de ma voix
Je vais les routes et je vais les frontières
Je sens, j’écoute, et j’apprends, je vois
Le temps s’égoutte au long des fuseaux horaires
Je prends, je donne, avais-je le choix?
Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur
Des feux d’été, je vole aux sombres hivers
Des pluies d’automne aux étés indiens
Terres gelées aux plus arides déserts
Je vais je viens, ce monde est le mien
Je vis de notes et je vis de lumière
Je virevolte à vos cris, vos mains
La vie m’emporte au creux de tous ses mystères
Je vois dans vos yeux mes lendemains
Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur
Aux battements de mon cœur
Je vais les routes et je vais les frontières
Je sens, j’écoute, et j’apprends, je vois
Le temps s’égoutte au long des fuseaux horaires
Je prends, je donne, avais-je le choix?
Je prends le blues aux signaux des répondeurs
Je prends la peine aux aéroports
Je vis l’amour à des kilomètres ailleurs
Et le bonheur à mon téléphone
Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur
Aux battements de mon cœur
Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur
Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur
Flashlight
When tomorrow comes, I’ll be on my own
Feeling frightened of The things that I don’t know
When tomorrow comes Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found, lost hope that I won’t fly
I just wanted to remind you that we will be performing NEXT WEDNESDAY the 30th November at assembly, then the following week as a part of the Senior Choir’s performance of REACH!
Attached are the lyrics and backing track for Reach, as well as the lyrics and track for My Favorite things.
Practice practice practice!!
See you one Wednesday!

My Favourite Things Backing
Reach!
Hannah When the world, leaves you feeling blue
You can count on me, I will be there for you
Chloe-When it seems, all your hopes and dreams
Are a million miles away, I will re-assure you
Grace and Pheobe-We’ve got to all stick together
Good friends, there for each other
Never ever forget that
I’ve got you and you’ve got me, so
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow’s shining over you
That’s when your dreams will all come true
There’s a place waiting just for you
Is a special place where your dreams all come true
Fly away, swim the ocean blue
Drive that open road, leave the past behind you
Don’t stop gotta keep moving
Your hopes have gotta keep building
Never ever forget that
I’ve got you and you’ve got me, so
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow’s shining over you
That’s when your dreams will all come true
Don’t believe in all that you’ve been told
The sky’s the limit you can reach your goal
No-one knows just what the future holds
There ain’t nothing you can’t be
There’s a whole world at your feet
I said reach
Climb every mountain (reach)
Reach for the moon (reach)
Follow that rainbow
And your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow’s shining over you
That’s when your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow’s shining over you
That’s when your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher [fade to finish]
My Favourite Things Lyrics
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad.
What a wonderful first rehearsal we had today, well done on getting straight back into singing after an entire term off, I’m impressed!
Attached are the lyrics and tracks for Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-please get practicing as I would like to book in an assembly performance in the coming weeks!
Have fun!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (edited 23/11)
When trying to express oneself, it’s frankly quite absurd,
To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word.
A little spontaneity keeps conversation keen,
You need to find a way to say, precisely what you mean…
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious!
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious,
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-ay
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-ay
When Stone Age men were chatting, merely grunting would suffice.
Now if they heard this word, they might have used it once or twice!
I’m sure Egyptian pharaohs would have grasped it in a jiff,
Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph;
Oh!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious!
Add some further flourishes, it’s so ro-co-co-coscious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-ay
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-ay
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-ay
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-ay
So when the cat has got your tongue, there’s no need for dismay!
Just summon up this word and then you’ve got a lot to say!
Pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well,
And put them in an order which is very hard to spell…
S-u-p-e-r
C-a-l-i-f-
R-a-g-i-l-
I-s-t-i-c-e-x-p-i-a-l-i-d-o-c-i-o-u-s!

If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious,
