Welcome
We welcome you to celebrate
C-Oh Gahu “way
Oh Gahu way due “bewy nah mee low-oh
R-Gahu way
Let the way be open
sing through my voice. Play through my hands
Let the way be open
Let the way be open, let the way be open….
Don’t let it bring you down
Leads
Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Chorus
Don’t let it bring you down
It’s only castles burning,
Find someone who’s turning
And you will come around.
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Chorus
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
If you’re walking home alone.
Bridge
Row row row your boat
Response:: gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream
Reggae – I wanna rule my destiny
Kele mangi ne – No More War
Times are a changing
Come gather ’round people Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters Around you have grown
And accept it that soon You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’ Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who That it’s namin’.
For the loser now Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land
And don’t criticize What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command
Your old road is Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’
The line it is drawn The curse it is cast
The slow one now Will later be fast
As the present now Will later be past
The order is Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
