Temporary Home-Lyrics and Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LraOiHUltak

Verse 1

Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone.
Another new mom and dad,

another school,
Another house that'll never be home.
When people ask him how he likes this place...
He looks up and says, with a smile upon his face,
Chorus

This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong.
Windows and rooms

that I'm passin' through.
This is just a stop,

 on the way to where I'm going.
I'm not afraid because I know

 this is my  Temporary Home."

Verse 2
Young mom on her own.
She needs a little help, got nowhere to go.
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out,
Because a half-way house will never be a home.
At night she whispers to her baby girl,
"Someday we'll find our place here in this world."
Chorus

Verse 3

Old man, hospital bed,
The room is filled with people he loves.
And he whispers don't cry for me,
I'll see you all someday.
He looks up and says, "I can see God's face."

Chorus

Price Tag -Lyrics and Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxX-QOV9tI 

Verse 1

Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop for a minute andSmile
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so extra mysterious?
Got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time

[Pre-chorus:]
Everybody look to their left
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that
We're paying with love tonight
[Chorus:]
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tagAin't about the (uh) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching
Ain't about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tag.

Verse 2:
We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all unite!
And it wasn't low blows and video joes,
Am I the only one getting tired?
Why is everybody so obsessed?
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feeling alright
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

Choir-practice makes perfect!

Only a few more weeks until our concert and we need to work hard so we can put on a success show! Over break and leading up to the concert, please listen and practice all of our songs! Sing along and memorize lyrics.
