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’
