      When Angels Sing

Verse 1:

When angels sing
The world comes alive
When angels sing
Everything will be fine
The flowers bloom
And the rivers flow
The rain comes
And the tall grasses grow
A heavenly blessing
For each and every thing
What beautiful rewards
When angels sing

Refrain:

When angels sing
These are the gifts
That they bring
When their voices rise
To the skies
Carrying prayers
On their wings
What a joyful noise
When angels sing

Verse 2:

When angels sing
Sunshine is brighter
When angels sing
Clouds seem a little whiter
Buds form on the trees
Snow dusts the mountaintops
And the proud eagles soar
Over bountiful crops
In glory and honor
For the Holy King
The sound of love
When angels sing

Bridge:

Hallelujah
What a joyful noise
When the angles sing
Never to be ignored
Messengers of the Lord
When angels sing
Hallelujah

Refrain

            Generation X
 
Verse 1:

(drums crash and fade)
We are a generation
Without a home
No place, no life, no meaning
To call our own
We are a generation
That’s all but given up
Everything for us
Is oh-so-tough
We are a generation
The world has never seen before
We are the generation
That deserves so much more

Refrain:

Lost in the fire
Lost in the storm
Backed against the wall
Afraid to love
Afraid to care
We are the ones they call
Generation X
The ones who take the fall
Generation X
AIDS, drugs, safe sex
Part of Generation X
Left in the dust
No place for us
We are Generation X

Verse 2:

Broken promises, shattered dreams
We don’t know what anything means
On a crash course with destiny
Never gonna make it
Thinking of me, me , me
Only God knows the cost
Of a generation lost
These are the worst of times
Who’s gonna pay for the crimes
All across the nation
Join the celebration

Refrain

Verse 3:

Abandoned by society
Never allowed to be
What we’ve only dreamed of
Searching for some love
Longing for a guide
For this horrid ride
It ain’t no joke
Cause we’ve lost hope
Searching for sensation
Misfits of creation

Refrain

Let The Music Set You Free

Verse 1:

Step right up
Feel the heat with me
Don’t be afraid
To feel the beat with me
Take my hand
Join me on the floor
Let the rhythm
Make your body roar
Side to side
Up and down
Clap your hands
Turn yourself around
Now you’re having fun
Anyone can see
What you can do
Let the music set you free

Verse 2:

You’ve got the rhythm
Don’t deny it
You’ve got the movement
So don’t defy it
Step in time
One, two, three
Let the music set you free

Repeat 1

Verse 3:

Like another world
Of music and light
Senses reel
Into the night
Vibrations rule
As easy as can be
Let the music set you free

Repeat 1
