Oh, I'm playin' for you; let the Spirit move me Oh, I'm singing' for you; fill me with things to say I know I'm not everything I could be. Help to guide me, guide me, guide me all the same. Oh, I'm dancing' for you; help me find the rhythm Oh, I'm painting' for you; help me find my artist's eye I know I don't always act like one of the good ones Inspire me, all the same. As the notes drip from my lips into a pool of sweet sound The pool fills the hollows in the cup of my soul where all my sins are drowned. I feel the cup overflow, the tides begin to swirl, a river of love is formed from my soul To the whole world. Oh, I'm playin' for you; let the Spirit move me...

Should we have seen this coming? should we have known? Of all the planets in your orbit, could you feel my draw? Was it you that found me, or the other way ‘round? That first date—that wasn’t a date, I don’t know what you saw Pre chorus You’re the prize in the cereal box You’re the center of my tootsie pop Now we have been together for quite some time. All the changes we’ve gone through in our shared life Only cause me to love you, love you more and more More today than yesterday and all the days before Pre chorus You’re the hook from my favorite song You’re a hit from my favorite bong Chorus: You are my Sunshine (after the rain) My only Sunshine (after the rain) Your smile is a rainbow Breaking through my darkest day When the world seems against me, I think of that smile And that spark of mischief that lives in your eyes When I’m with you, I’m happy; you always make me laugh My love, I am honored to be your other half Pre Chorus You’re Shakira when she shakes her hips You’re this pithy, clever little quip Chorus: You are my Sunshine (after the rain) My only Sunshine (after the rain) Your smile is a rainbow Breaking through my darkest day Guitar Solo Pre Chorus You are Miles playing “Kind of Blue” You’re the question to the answer 42 Chorus: You are my Sunshine (after the rain) My only Sunshine (after the rain) Your smile is a rainbow Breaking through my darkest day

Together We 04:17
When the day’s less than perfect And you feel like a cog in a wheel Remember every gear Got us from there to here From here we head to our future Vs 2 When your tin-man is rusty And you ran out of oil No need to lose your mind Fearing you’ll fall behind Reach out! Everybody’s here! Chorus Together Together we Together All help each other rise Together Together we Together Always, always find a way Vs 3 Each part is important A piece of a complex machine If we collaborate Then we can innovate Let’s celebrate our diversity Chorus 2 Bridge The world is more connected now than ever before You can talk across the globe with the touch of a button Recognizing we are each a unique gear on this earth-machine is a must You gotta shake off the dust.
