Earth Under my feet, Rain on my skin, Slow breath in my lungs, Deep peace from within (Katy Rose Bennett)
The Coffee Song – dm ch-k, dm ch-k etc. I like my coffee I’ll drink it all day long. I like it brewed all day, I like it nice and strong. I like a cup of cappuccino, a macchiato, an espresso in a teeny tiny cup. I really like a skinny latte, when I’m on holiday, a percolator with the milk all frothed up. I like my coffee bean, with its heav’nly company, with light choc’late sprinkled on. But it’s not as nice as tea! (Beth Morgan)
Shackles – Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just want to praise you, I just want to praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I’m gonna praise you , I’m gonna praise you

- Blue Skies (Irving Berlin – Roger Emerson)
Blue skies, Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies, do I see.
Bluebirds, Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds, All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you’re in love, my how they fly
Blue days, All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies, From now on
