Music for the Emerald Valley Sing-a-long


1. Light a candle for peace




Light a candle for peace,
Light a candle for love,
Light a candle that shines,
All the way around the world.
Light a candle for me,
Light a candle for you,
That our wish for world peace,
Will one day come true
Sing Peace Around the World
Sing Peace Around the World
Sing Peace Around the World
Sing Peace Around the World

2. Walking in the Air



We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

inst.

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams


chorus:
Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

verse:
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

inst.

chorus:
Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep

verse:
We're walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air

3. O Hanukkah, Hanukkah




O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah, come light the menorah.
Let’s have a party, we’ll all dance the hora.
Gather ’round the table, we’ll give you a treat,
Dreidels to play with and latkes to eat.

And while we are playing, the candles are burning low.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.

4. Christmastime is here




Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Something Wild



You had your maps drawn
You had other plans
To hang your hopes on
Every road they let you down felt so wrong
So you found another way
You've got a big heart
The way you see the world
It got you this far
You might have some bruises
And a few of scars
But you know you're gonna be okay
And even though you're scared
You're stronger than you know
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home
Sometimes the past can
Make the ground benneath you feel like a quicksand
You don't have to worry
You reach for my hand
Yeah I know you're gonna be okay
You're gonna be okay
And even if you're scared
You're stronger than you know
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home
Calls you home
Calls you home
Calls you home
Calls you home
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home
