Hear my little voice sing
Feel the joy that I can bring
Eyes that sparkle full of glee
Like twinkle lights on Christmas trees
(HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time,
HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time)
Hear our little voices sing
Feel the joy that we can bring
Eyes that sparkle full of glee
Like twinkle lights on Christmas trees
HO! HO! HO! Here we go!
It’s Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Good reports from little elves (HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time)
Up there on their little shelves (HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time)
Santa Clause is on his way (HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time)
Reindeers pulling that big sleigh (HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time)
HO! HO! HO! Here we go!
​
It’s Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Hats, scarves, gloves on ready for the snow, Jingle Bells!! Bring the mistletoe!
Presents all wrapped underneath the tree, Best part is being with our family!
HO! HO! HO! Here we go!
​
It’s Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Jesus in a manger lay
On the first Christmas Day
He’s the reason we rejoice
So sing out with your BIG VOICE!
HO! HO! HO! Here we GOOOOOOOO!
It’s Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time
Christmas time! Christmas time! HO! HO! HO! It’s Christmas time

Hear my little voice sing
Feel the joy that I can bring
Eyes that sparkle full of glee
Like twinkle lights on Christmas trees
The Light

The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
​
When dark nights meet silent mornings like a winter in our hearts
When longing is just an ember and passion seeks a spark
You come with understanding like the softest lullaby
As hope fights for that flicker with your courage by my side
​
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
​
Each path we might take leaves yesterday
Behind the glow of what has come before
We carry it near, the wind at my heels if only we knew What Now?
​
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
​
What Now? No-one really knows
But for certain, we'll survive
We won't give up, no we won't give in
We'll keep each other's flame alive!
​
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
The light in me honours the light in you
What It Takes

I decided today's gonna be a great day
Got a safe place to learn how to make dreams come true
With hope in my heart like a pocket full of sunshine
Got a spring in my step like the first day of school
​
And all my friends are coming with me
The Universe will hear us sing!
​
I got the right (I got the right) I got the right to be free
Accepted and loved, for just being me
Somewhere I belong, feel strong, get it wrong and learn from my mistakes
'Cos I know - I got what it takes
​
So if you ever feel like you're having a bad day
I'll be here to listen and show you I care
Our little hearts can make big changes
Remember you're special in your own way
Listen to all the joy it brings
When you raise up your heart and sing
​
I got the right (I got the right) I got the right to be free
Accepted and loved, for just being me
Somewhere I belong, feel strong, get it wrong and learn from my mistakes
'Cos I know - I got what it takes
​
Walk in the corridors there's no hurry
Wednesdays it's chicken curry in the canteen
They keep in nice and clean
Teachers are lovely, nice and bubbly
Always someone you can talk to
Each new lesson they will walk through
All the things we need to learn
Play and share we all take turns
It's each other we're protecting
When our rights we are respecting
​
I got the right (I got the right) I got the right to be free
Accepted and loved, for just being me
Somewhere I belong, feel strong, get it wrong and learn from my mistakes
'Cos I know - I got what it takes​​
Win This Fight

​I walked to school today guess what I found?
Empty bags of crisps & bottles thrown there on the ground
If we create the planet that we live in
Just look at the example we are giving
​
In the Amazon they’re cutting down more trees
Temperatures rise, ice bergs melt around polar bears’ feet
We didn’t show the Earth love and devotion
Now we’ve got dolphins swimming in a plastic ocean
​
If there’s no planet B
It’s up to you - and - me!
​
Got to be smart, be bright, switch off those lights
Turn the temperature down, put your rubbish in the bin and not on the ground
Reuse that cup, landfill down, chances up
Recycle, that’s right! Together we can win this Fight!
(Wow-wow) Win this fight (Wow-wow)
Get this right (Wow-wow)
Together we can win this Fight! (Wow-wow) Win this fight (Wow-wow)
Get this right (Wow-wow)
Together we can win this fight!
​
It’s hard to breath in a world with polluted air
Too hot in this melting pot, it’s not an option not to care
If we do our best to help change the situation,
There’ll still be hope for the next generation.
If there’s no planet B
It’s up to you - and - me!
​
Got to be smart, be bright, switch off those lights
Turn the temperature down, put your rubbish in the bin and not on the ground
Reuse that cup, landfill down, chances up
Recycle, that’s right! Together we can win t
this Fight!
(Wow-wow) Win this fight (Wow-wow)
Get this right (Wow-wow)
Together we can win this Fight! (Wow-wow) Win this fight (Wow-wow)
Get this right (Wow-wow)
Together we can win this fight!
