Rotary Club Concert – Song lyrics
PLEASE LEARN!!!
See Me
It’s the moment I’ve been waiting for,
Know the lyrics and rehearsed the score,
All I have to do is cross the floor,
And take a deep breath and drop my jaw
But my stomach feels queasy and my throat is sore
Every second lasts forever more
Heart is beating with a thunderous roar
Suddenly it’s go, I cross the floor
I’m ready to burst as my spirits soar
And I take a deep breath as I count to 4
Chorus:
See me, standing in the light
See me, spread my wings in flight
See me, sailing like a ship at sea
See me, standing on my own,
See me, steady as a stone
See me, singing all alone,
See me.
Can’t believe I really made it here
Thought my nerves would never disappear
Train was late, I nearly died of fear
And mum got worried so she shed a tear
And she kept on asking, have you got the right gear?
But we made it and I’m really here
After training so hard all the year,
It’s my dream that’s made me persevere,
My dream that’s always been so bright and clear
For this moment when the audience applaud and cheer.
Chorus
See me x 4
Amani utupenaustawi
As we travel down this weary road,
Amani utupenaustawi
We need strength to carry on our load,
Amani utupenaustawi
Grant us peace, give us courage
Amani utupenaustawi
Grant us peace, give us courage
Amani utupenaustawi
Road is rocky and the way is dark
Amani…
Every road has a different fork
Amani…
Grant us peace…
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Amani…
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Amani…
Grant us peace…
(shhh)Grant us peace, give us courage
Amani utupenaustaaaaaar –wi
Amani utupenaustawi!
