1 Brave By Sara Bareilles You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody s lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing s gonna hurt you the way that words do When they settle neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you Everybody s been there, Everybody s been stared down by the enemy Fallen for the fear And done some disappearing, Bow down to the mighty Don t run, stop holding your tongue Maybe there s a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is And since your history of silence Won t do you any good, Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don t you tell them the truth? See you be brave.

2 Better Days Goo Goo Dolls And you ask me what I want this year And I try to make this kind and clear Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings And designer love and empty things I need someplace simple where we could live And something only you can give And that s faith and trust and peace while we're alive And the one poor child who saved this world And there's 10 million more who probably could If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them I wish everyone was loved tonight And somehow stop this endless fight.

3 Where Is The Love? Black Eyed Peas What's wrong with the world, mama People livin' like they ain't got no mamas I think the whole world addicted to the drama Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists here livin' In the USA, the big CIA The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah Madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how anger works and operates Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practise what you preach And would you turn the other cheek Father, Father, Father help us Where is the love (Love) Where is the love (The love) (2xs) Where is the love, the love, the love It just ain't the same, old ways have changed New days are strange, is the world insane? If love and peace are so strong Why are there pieces of love that don't belong? Nations droppin' bombs Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug If you never know truth then you never know love Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know) Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know) Where's the love, y'all People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practise what you preach And would you turn the other cheek Father, Father, Father help us Where is the love (Love) (7xs) Where is the love, the love, the love? I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder Most of us only care about money makin' Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction Wrong information always shown by the media Negative images is the main criteria Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity Whatever happened to the fairness and equality Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found Now ask yourself Where is the love?(4xs) Father, Father, Father, help us Where is the love? Sing with me y'all: One world, one world (We only got) One world, one world (That's all we got) One world, one world And something's wrong with it (Yeah) Something's wrong with it (Yeah) Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah We only got (One world, one world) 2x.

4 Tell Me Why Declan Galbraith In my dream, children sing a song of love for every boy and girl The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world Then I wake and all I see, is a world full of people in need Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this? Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed? Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand When so many need somebody, we don't give a helping hand Tell me why? Everyday I ask myself, what will I have to do to be a man? Do I have to stand a fight, to prove to everybody who I am? Is that what my life is for, to waste in a world full of war? (children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why? (children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why? (together) just tell me why, why, why? (why,why,does the tiger run) Tell me why (why, why do we shoot the gun) Tell me why (why,why do we never learn) Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn? (why,why do we say we care) Tell me why (why,why do we stand and stare) Tell me why (why,why do the dolphin cry) Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die? (why,why if we're all the same) Tell me why (why,why do we pass the blame) Tell me why (why,why does it never end) Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends? (why, why do we close our eyes?) (why, why do the greedy lie?) (why, why do we fight for land?) (can someone tell us why cause we don't understand?) (why, why?) I think the major message of this song is.

5 One Day Akon and Matisyahu Sometimes I lay Under the moon And thank God I'm breathing Then I pray Don't take me soon 'Cause I am here for a reason Sometimes in my tears I drown But I never let it get me down So when negativity surrounds I know some day it'll all turn around because... It's not about Win or lose Because we all lose When they feed on the souls of the innocent Blood-drenched pavement Keep on moving though the waters stay raging In this maze you can lose your way (your way) It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way) Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown) But I never let it get me down (get me down) So when negativity surrounds (surrounds) I know some day it'll all turn around because... One day this all will change Treat people the same Stop with the violence Down with the hate One day we'll all be free And proud to be Under the same sun Singing songs of freedom like One day [x2] I think the major message of this song is.
