Lyrics from June 18 Show, No More Drama by Mary J Blige

So tired, tired of all this drama
You go your way and I'll go my way
(No more, no more)
I need to be free
I'm so tired, tired, tired from all this drama

Broken heart again
Another lesson learned
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burned
Gotta count on me
'Cos I can guarantee
That I'll be fine

(No more pain) No more pain
(No more pain) No more pain
(No drama) No more drama in my life
(No more in my life)
No one's gonna make me hurt again

Why'd I play the fool
Go through ups and downs
Knowing all the time
You wouldn't be around
But maybe I like the stress
'Cos I was young and restless
But that was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

(No more pain) No more pain, no more pain
(No more games) No more games
Messin' with my mind
(No drama) No more drama in my life
(No more in my life)
No one's gonna make me hurt again, no more
(No more tears)
No more tears, I'm tired of crying every night
(No more fears)
No more fears, I really don't wanna fight
(No drama) No more drama in my life
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my mind

Oh, It feels so good
When you let go of all the drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the games
Free from all the pain
Free from all the stress
To find your happiness

I don't know
Only God knows where the story ends for me
But I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whether we win or lose
And I choose to win

(No more pain)
No more pain, no more pain, tired of hurting
(No more games)
Tired of your playin' games with my mind
(No drama) No more drama in my life
(No more in my life)
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
(No more tears)
No more tears, no more crying every night
(No more fears)
No more waking me up in the morning with your
disturbing phone calls
(No drama) Leave me alone, go ahead
(No more in my life)
(No more pain) No more, I'm tired
(No more game)
No more games, I'm tired, I'm so tired
(No drama) No more, no more
(No more in my life)

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

(No more drama)
I'm tired of all the drama
(No more drama)
Go 'head, go 'head
(No more drama)
Your demons gettin' out of my face
Goin' out my life
(No more drama)
I'm about to lose my mind
Lord help me, help me sing
No more drama

Oh help me sing
I need a piece of mind
A piece of mind, piece of mind
Well, I need
I need to know that you agree
Oh no, oh no
No more, no more, no more drama
No more drama in my, in my life

So tired, I'm so tired
So tired, tired of all this drama
Go ahead with all your drama

I'm on the move.
I don't wanna lose what I came to prove.
(It's everything)
I expect myself to be.
And I'm gonna do everything I set out to.
Making my dreams come true.
It means so much to me.
You could never understand how I feel when I'm searching for the words to say.
And I don't wanna be nobody else.
Take the time and get to know me.
(The real me)
And you will see yeah...

(I'm just like you)
I'm tryna take my time and get to know me.
(I'm just like you)
Tryna live my life and take care of mine.
(I'm just like you)

(I'm just like you)
Ohhh....


I wanna be the one who you can depend on.
And when it feels so bad know I can handle it.
Cuz I've been through so much, oh.
It's so much I've overcome I had to look inside of me and see just who's inside of me.
And know who I need was me.
(Oh, it took so much for me just to see it's all in me)
You could never understand how I feel when I'm searching for the words to say.
And I don't wanna be nobody else.
Try to take the time and get to know me.
The real me.
And you will see yeah...

[Chorus:]

(I'm just like you)
Oh..

[Bridge:]
You know blessed be the Lord my strength.
Which teaches my hands to roar and my fingers to fight.
Through it all he's protected me along the way.
And I wanna thank you.
Cuz without you I'm nothing.

(I'm just like you)

I know it gets a lil hard.
But he will take care of you.
(If you trust and believe and have faith)
Ohhh...

Lyrics from June 18 Show, Man In the Mirror by Michael Jackson

I'm gonna make a change,
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right...

As I, turn up the collar on my
Favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street,
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs

A summer's disregard,
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on
The wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no
Home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me,
Pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred,
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed - out dream
(Washed - out dream)
They follow the pattern of
The wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Ooh!)
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways - ooh!)
And no message could've
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make that...
(Take a look at yourself and
Then make that...)
Change!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
(Man in the mirror - oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change
His ways
(Better change!)
No message could have
Been any clearer
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and
Then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while
You got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your...your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)
That man, that man, that
Man, that man
With that man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
You know...that man
No message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Oh yeah!)
Gonna feel real good now!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Ooooh...)
Oh no, no no...
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(Change...)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it.
Yourself!
(Yeah! - make that change!)
I've got to make that change,
Today!
Hoo!
(Man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself...
Brother...
Hoo!
(Yeah! - make that change!)
You know - I've got to get
That man, that man...
(Man in the mirror)
You've got to
You've got to move! Come
On! Come on!
You got to...
Stand up! Stand up!
Stand up!
(Yeah - make that change)
Stand up and lift
Yourself, now!
(Man in the mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Aaow!
(Yeah - make that change)
Gonna make that change...
Come on!
(Man in the mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know...
(Change...)
Make that change

Lyrics from June 18 Show, Changes by David Bowie

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker I
'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Don't want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes Where's your shame You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace
I'm going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time I said that time may change me But I can't trace time

Lyrics from June 11 Show, You've Got To Be Carefully Taught/from South Pacific

Performed by Justina Diaz & Sean McDermott

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught

Lyrics from June 11 Show, Drowning by Hootie and The Blowfish

Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right
Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?
Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate
Time to make the world a better place

Why must we hate one another?
Well no matter what we gotta live together
Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see

P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say
Wanna turn and run away
They're just telling you how they see it
Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit

chorus:
Drowning in a sea of tears
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Living only for yourself
Hating everybody else
Cause they don't look like you

Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go
About some fat racist living in Chicago
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?

Why must we hate one another?
When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother
You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, saying
Go back to Africa, I just don't understand

(chorus)

I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
No I'm not like you
Why do you hate me so
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you
(CHORUS)

With music by our side
To break the color lines
Let's work together To improve our way of life

Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me

Lyrics from June 11 Show, The Color Of A Man by Alicia

Centuries of division
Misunderstanding leading to suspicion
Years of injustice our ignorance confronts us
and fills our father’s eyes with tears.

His image is that Of all races
reflecting in a rainbow of faces
Everyone’s created by His hand
God’s the one who chooses the color of a man
He makes no mistakes
but forms a perfect plan
God is the artist in the color of a man

City streets filled with tension
a fear of the unknown feeds our apprehension
these differences will hurt us
if we only see the surface
and fail to find our common ground

Oh Love is an action that’s braver
compelling us to love our neighbor

Everyone’s created by His hand
God’s the one who chooses the color of a man
He makes no mistakes but forms a perfect plan
God is the artist in the color of a man

We can live beyond the differences that are tearing us apart
If we trust the Master with the color of our heart
Everyone’s created by His hand
God’s the one who chooses the color of a man
He makes no no no mistakes but forms a perfect plan
God is the artist in the color of a man

God is the artist in the color of a man

Lyrics from June 11 Show, Everyday People by Sly and the Family Stone

Sometimes I'm right but I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah

There is a blue one
who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one
trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on
and scooby dooby doo-bee

Oh sha sha - we got to live together

I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then

You can't figure out the bag l'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah

There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha-we got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one

And different strokes for different folks

Lyrics from June 4 Show, Who We Are by Hope Partlow

I don't wanna put on my make-up
Just like every girl in a magazine
That's not who I am when I wake up
That's not who I wanna be

There's so much more to me than meets the eye
In this life, I know one thing

It doesn't really matter what u wear
Let the people stare
Cause we are who we are who we are who we are
It doesn't really matter what car u drive
It's good to be alive
Yeah, we are who we are who we are who we are
Who we are

Tell me baby, do I look like the real thing
Or would you change the color of my eyes?
Tell me why my television's fillin' me with lies

It doesn't really matter what u wear
Let the people stare
Cause we are who we are who we are who we are
It doesn't really matter what car you drive
It's good to be alive
Yeah we are who we are who we are who we are
Who we are...

There is beauty on the inside
Yeah you're beautiful, alright...

Oh it doesn't really matter what u wear
Let the people stare
Cuz we are who we are who we are who we are
It doesn't really matter what car you drive
It's good to be alive
Yeah, we are who we are who we are who we are...
Doesn't really matter what you wear, let the people stare

It's good to be alive, good to be alive...

Doesn't really matter what car you drive, it's good to be alive

Yeah we are who we are who we are who we are

It's good to be alive, good to be alive

Who we are

Lyrics from June 4 Show, Diamond by Jump 5

Ohh...(Ohh) Ohh...(Ohh) Ohh... Ohh...
Everytime I turn the T.V. on
See another pretty face on the screen
Feels like I'm not good enough
To be on the cover of a magazine
turn around I look in the mirror
And I wonder if I'll ever measure up
All I want is someone to make it clearer
Am I ever gonna find the perfect love?

Then You break through the madness
And You tell me how it is (CHORUS)
You're a diamond that shines
One of a kind
A shimmering radiant star
You're a flower in the rain
Wonderfully made
To shine like the sun
You're a diamond (You're a diamond) (You're a diamond)

Friends try and tell me
just loosen up a little
Gonna scare the good ones away
Get a look with a hook thats fundamental
Come on girl, you gotta get into the game
Something deep inside of me says
Are you sure that you really want to play?
Gotta trust your heart, and not your head
Instead of buyin into the masquerade

I'm not some decoration (decoration)
So won't You tell me how it ends?

(CHORUS)

Don't matter if they tell you how to live... (It don't matter)
Don't matter if they try and mold you... (What they tell you)
Don't matter if they say what beautiful is... (I'm not gonna let you tell me)
You're a diamond
Cause He already showed you
Diamond... You're... A diamond.. Diamond (Ahh....)
Shimmering radiant star

Lyrics from June 4 Show, God Love Ugly by Jordin Sparks

You said that I wasn't pretty
So I just believed you
And you said that I wasn't special
So I lived that way
With critical gazes and brutal amazement
And how my reflection could be so imperfect with all of my blemishes,
how could somebody want me?

[Chorus] But God loves ugly
He doesn't see the way I see
Oh God takes ugly
And turns it into to something that is beautiful
Apparently I'm beautiful
Cause you love me

Whoa, oh I tried to clean up the outside
All shiny and new
Worked over time to thin up
and look right But inside I knew
That deep in the bottom
were secrets I thought I could try to ignore
Old ghosts in my corridors
Never get tired of haunting the past that's in me

[Chorus] But God loves ugly
He doesn't see the way I see
Oh God takes ugly
And turns it into to something that is beautiful
Apparently I'm beautiful
Cause you love me
Help me believe why you love me
When I know you see
You see everything
Help me believe why you love me
When I know you see Inside and you still say I'm beautiful

You're telling me I'm beautiful
Your screaming out I'm beautiful
And I'm finding out I'm beautiful
You're making me so beautiful And I can know I'm beautiful
Cause you love me
Whoa, oh

Lyrics from June 4 Show, Don't Laugh At Me by Mark Wills

I'm a little boy with glasses,
the one they call a geek
A little girl who never smiles
cuz I got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

I'm that kid on every playground
who is always chosen last
A single teenage mother
tryin to overcome her past
You don't have to be my friend
if it's too much to ask

[Chorus:] Don't laugh at me, don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
some day we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm a cripple on the corner
You pass me on the street
I wouldn't be out here begging
if I had enough to eat
And don't think I don't notice
that our eyes never meet

I lost my wife and little boy
someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid 'em in the ground
was the day I lost my mind
Right now I'm down to holdin'
this little cardboard sign

[Chorus] I'm fat, I'm thin I'm short, I'm tall I'm deaf, I'm blind Hey aren't we all

She's been down and out She's been wrote about She's been talked about, constantly She's been up and down She's been pushed around But they held her down, NYC She has no regrets She accepts the past All these things they helped make to make she She's been lost and found And she's still around There's a reason for everything
