NOTE: THE JUNE 3, CONCERT LETTER IS ON THE WELCOME PAGE


SOMETHING’S COMING – West Side Story

Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me______

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is,
But it is, gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone will jingle, door will knock,
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch______

Around (around the) the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on (come on), deliver
To me__ (something’s coming, something’s coming)
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It'll be there!

Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air (the air) is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight____ tonight_____





FOR GOOD from Wicked

I've heard it said_ that people come into our lives for a reason,
bringing something we must learn;
And we are led_ to those who help us most to grow if we let them,
and we help them in return.
Now I don't know if I believe that’s true;
But I know I'm who I am today because I knew you__

Like a comet pulled from orbit, as it passes a sun__
Like a stream that meets a boulder__ halfway through the wood__
Who can say if I've been changed for the better, but
because I knew you….. I have been changed for good____

It well may be (Oo_) that we will never meet again
In this lifetime_ so let me say before we part,
So much of me___ is made of what I learned from you.
You'll be with me, (you’ll be with me) like a handprint on my heart_
And now whatever way our stories end__
I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend__

Like a ship blown from it's mooring by a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky_bird, in a distant wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better, but
because I knew you (because I knew you)
I have been changed__ for good____

(G) And just to clear the air_ I ask forgiveness for the things
I’ve done you blamed me for...
(B) But then I guess we know there’s blame to share__
And none of it seems to matter anymore

(descant)
Like a ship blown from it's mooring by a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky_bird, in a distant wood.

Like a comet pulled from orbit, as it passes a sun__
Like a stream that meets a boulder__ halfway through the wood__
Who can say____ if I've been changed for the better,
I do believe I have been changed for the better___ and

(G) Because I knew you__
(B) Because I knew you__
Because I knew you__
I have been changed_____// for good_________________

(Circle of Life)
It's the circle of life, And it moves us all
Through despair and hope; Through faith and love_____________________-

(They Live In You)
In-gon-ya-ma nengw' en-a-ma-ba-la
In-gon-ya-ma nengw' en-a-ma-ba-la
Night, and the spirit of life, calling oh, oh i-yo. ma-me-la (oh, oh i-yo)
And a voice, with the fear of a child asking oh, oh i-yo
Oh ma-me-la (oh, oh i-yo)

They live in you (he-la, he-le ma-me-la, he-la)
They live in me (he-la, he-le ma-me-la, he-la)
They're watching over (he-le ma-me-la)
Everything we see (he-la, he-le ma-me-la)
In every creature (he-le ma-me-la)
In every star (he-la, he-le ma-me-la)
In your reflection (he-le ma-me-la)
They live in you_______________

(Can you feel the love tonight?)
Oo_________________ Oh______ ah_________________________
Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony, With all its living things

Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties , Love is where we are___________________

(The Lioness Hunt)
Ah ha hi__a, hi___a, hi___a, hi__
We ba-ba zing-e-la si-yo, zing-e-la ba-ba
Ah ha hi__a, hi___a, hi___a, hi__
We ba-ba zing-e-la si-yo, zing-e-la ba-ba

Um-bo hi__, hi___, hi___
We ba-ba zing-e-la si-yo, zing-e-la ba-ba
Um-bo hi__, hi___, hi___
We ba-ba zing-e-la si-yo, zing-e-la ba-ba
We ba-ba zing-e-la si-y,o zing-e-la ba-ba
We ba-ba zing-e-la
Zingela siyo, zingela baba

(I Just Can't Wait To Be King)
Hmmm_____ hmmm_____
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down, I'm working on my roar
Thus far a rather uninspiring thing, Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left, everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm__ standing in the spotlight
Let every creature go for broke and sing; Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, he just can't wait_____ to be king!

(Hakuna Matata)
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata! (echo) What a wonderful phrase (echo)
Hakuna Matata!(echo) Ain't no passing craze (echo)
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy, Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata

(Chow Down)
It's time to chow down, Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
I'm chompin' at the bit, baby; My stomach's on the growl, son, Chow down! Chow down!
You both been invited on a date; Two courses handed to us on a plate
Grab your own, won't be long to wait; Seein' you're already toasty brown; Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!

(Endless Night)

I know that this night must end; And that the sun will rise; And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear; And that the sun will shine; And that the sun will shine
I know that this night must end; And that the sun will rise; And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear; And that the sun will shine; And that the sun will shine

I know
I know that this night must end
Yes I know the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise, and that the sun will rise
Yes I know
I know that the clouds must clear
I know the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine, and that the sun will shine

I know that this night must end
I know that this night must end

I know that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise

And I'll hear your voice deep inside
And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear, and that the sun will rise_____________

(Circle of Life)
It's the circle of life, And it moves us all
Through despair and hope, Through faith and love
Till we find our place, On the path unwinding, In the circle, the circle, of life_______




 

Tech Note: I would suggest you use either Windows Media Player or Real Player to playback these MIDI (.MID) files. Set them as your default .MID player. That way you'll be able to open the "piano" and minimize it. Don't use Quicktime because it opens a new page for the music and you won't be able to view the words while the music is playing.




Please note: The lyrics and MIDI files on the following pages are for the educational use of Florence Sawyer School students only. The original choral music was purchased by the Florence Sawyer School and the chorus pages are meant solely for our students' practice.
