Let Them Hear You

 

And say to those who blame us

For the way we chose to fight
That sometimes there are battles
That are more than black or white...

And I could not put down my sword
When justice was my right
Make them hear you

Go out and tell our story
To your daughters and your sons
Make them hear you
Make them hear you

And tell them, in our struggle
We were not the only ones
Make them hear you
Make them hear you

Your sword can be a sermon
Or the power of the pen
Teach every child to raise his voice
And then, my brothers, then

Will justice be demanded
By ten million righteous men
Make them hear you
When they hear you
I'll be near you
Again

Love is Pleasin'

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I wish, I wish I was a youth again

But a youth again I can never be

Till the apples grow on an ivy tree...

And love and porter makes a young man older

And love and whiskey makes him old and grey

And what can't be cured, love, has to be endured, love

the Climb

 There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

If This Is the End

 Look at how the candles flicker in the window

Look at how the leaves are turning gold out on the trees
Sounds a little corny, a little like john denver
But the turning of the seasons gives me something to believe in
So if this is the end
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
No one I’d rather see the end with
Tell God on his throne to leave us alone
If this is the end

- Noah Gunderson

Fairytale of New York

"I could have been someone", well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

Fairytale of New York- Pogues

A Christmas Song

 

This ain’t a breakup song
It’s not about what went wrong
It won’t drag on and on
It’s just a Christmas song

And it’s not a love song
Heard faintly across the restaurant
As sure as the day is long
It’s just a Christmas song

So when it’s getting close but feels so far
Silver Bells and credit cards
And it hits you in your heart
You’re not ready yet to let it come and let it go
And let another year start
And you feel like you’re doing it wrong
Well here’s a Christmas song

And it’s not a wedding song
So no finger-guns or singing along
By the time the turkey’s on
You’ll be sick of this Christmas song

It always comes so fast and hurts a bit
I want to make it last and feel all of it
It doesn’t feel like the way I remember it
Maybe that’s just it, the hardest bits are part of it
Maybe that’s just Christmas, kid
Sorta sweet and kinda sad
In the middle distance where life always lands
And it hits you like an avalanche
That we just want to feel the glow again, the glow again, the glow again

It’s not a myth or some cosmic test
It’s just some people out here doing their best
To make it special for the kids and that
They’re not ready yet to let it come and let it pass
And let another year end
Merry Christmas, I love you
Never question that
Safe to say I might be doing it wrong
But here’s a Christmas song

                    Christmas Song -Dan Mangan 

Guilty

 You know you know how it is with me baby

You know, I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
