Sing we a song of high revolt;
make great the Lord, his name exalt!
Sing we the song that Mary sang
of God at war with human wrong.
Sing we of him who deeply cares
and still with us our burden bears.
He who with strength the proud disowns,
brings down the mighty from their thrones.
By him the poor are lifted up;
he satisfies with bread and cup
the hungry ones of many lands;
the rich must go with empty hands.
He calls us to revolt and fight
with him for what is just and right,
to sing and live Magnificat
in crowded street and council flat.

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head:
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth God sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the left prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.”
Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!

La lala la la
La lalala la la la
La lala la la
La la pass it on!
When it’s nice and bright
And it brings delight
Let your heart choose right
Gotta pass it on!
When it feels real good
Like a feeling should
When it’s understood
Gotta pass it on!
When you’re giving love away
Love will come again to stay
What you give is what you gain
When you pass it on!
When I give a gift to you
I know you’re gonna give it too
What’s why givin’’s what we do
As we pass it on!
Pass it on! (Pass it on!)
Pass it on! (Pass it on!)
Wish upon (Wish Upon)
all the good things that you do
Pass it on! (Pass it on!)
Pass it on! (Pass it on!)
When it’s gone (when it’s gone)
It will bring good luck to you!
When you’re giving love away
Love will come again to stay
What you give is what you gain
When you pass it on!
When I give a gift to you
I know you’re gonna give it too
What’s why givin’s what we do
As we pass it on!

Miracles happen most ev'ry day to people like you and me,
but don't expect a miracle, unless you help make it to be. So...
You hope and I'll hurry, you pray and I'll plan
We'll do what's necessary, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand
You love and I'll labor, you sit and I'll stand
Get help from our next-door neighbor, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand
We'll help our Maker to make our dreams come true,
but I can't do it alone, so here's what we're gonna do.
You hope and I'll hurry, you pray and I'll plan
We'll do what's necessary, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand
We'll help our Maker to make our dreams come true,
but we can't do it alone, so what are we gonna do?
You wish and I'll whittle. You drip while I dry
Let's all try to help a little, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand

If you’re good boys and girls
And keep the tables clean
If you always clock in on time
And never ever lean
If you work 3 hours passed close
And you do it with a smile
If you skip your breaks the extra tips you make
Will sure be worth your while
Christmas’ll come in February
When all events are done
You work all the other parties
Then you will have your fun
Gotta get through the holidays
And just a few weeks more
Then the boss’ll buy you pizza
or a gift card to a store
Got a 12 top reser vation
2 13s just walked in
The kitchen’s out of steak
And the bar is out of gin
You gotta open tomorrow
But tonight you just can’t leave
Take this french 75 to table 29
Every night is Christmas eve.
Cause Christmas’ll come in February
When all of this is done
You work all the other parties
Then you’ll have your fun
Gotta get through the holidays
And just a few weeks more
Then the boss’ll buy you pizza
Now get back on the floor.
Haven’t taken a lunch break
Since before november fifth
No amount of time and a half
Is gonna be worth this
You’d really love to call off
And maybe take the a rest
And get over this cold, but your boss says no
Gotta take care of those guests
Christmas’ll come in February
When all of this is done
You work all the other parties
Then you’ll have your fun
Gotta get through the holidays
And just a few weeks more
Then the boss’ll buy you pizza
Now get back on the floor..
Christmas’ll come in February
Unles you 86 your job
Throw your own Christmas party
Spend new years with your mom
Gotta enjoy the holidays
And I’ll tell you something more
You deserve more than that pizza
So just walk on out that door.

What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Rumors are flying
All over Galilee these days
And, Mary, I'm trying to be cool
When my friends walk by 'em
They cannot look at me in the eye
Baby, I'm trying
You're asking me to believe in too many things
You're asking me to believe in too many things
I know this child
Was sent here to heal our broken time
And some things are bigger than we know
When somehow you find out
That you are stepfather to a God
Well, Mary, that's life
But you're asking me to believe in so many things
You're asking me to believe in so many things
Oh, Mary, is he mine?
(Mary, is he mine?)
Mary, is he mine?
(Mary, is he mine?)
Oh, Mary, is he mine?
(Mary, is he mine?)
Tell me, is he?
You're asking me to believe in too many things
You're asking me to believe in too many things
Now, Mary, he is mine
(Mary, he is mine)
Mary, he is mine
(Mary, is he mine?)
Yeah, Mary, he is mine
(Mary, he is mine)
You're asking me to believe in so many things
You're asking me to believe in so many things
