You Are the Heroes Mary Donnelly and George L. O. Strid
1. You were there when our country called you; You were there to lead the way.
You were there to fight for freedom, And for that we would like to say,
(Refrain) “You are the heroes; You have fought for liberty.
You are the heroes; you have kept America free.”
2. Me and women who served our nation, keeping strong with a job to do;
Fighting on with hope and courage now we offer our thanks to you!
(Refrain) You are the heroes; You have fought for liberty.
You are the heroes; You have kept America free.
(Refrain) You are the heroes; You have fought for liberty.
You are the heroes; You have kept America free.
(Coda) You were there, you were there for me.
Christopher Columbus and Let’s Go Sailing Jill Gallina
Ledbetter/Presley James/Kue
1. He was a sailor man, a famous sailor man, 2. Sailing, sailing,
He sailed across the ocean long ago. Let’s go sailing, sailing ‘cross the sea.
Across the mighty sea, Three ships for company, Sailing, Sailing!
His name is on that sailors always know. The sailor’s life is the life for me.
They call him Christopher, Christopher Columbus. I’m gonna sail my ship to foreign shores,
Greatest of all sailor men was he. Sail back home, then out to sea once more.
They call him Christopher, Christopher Columbus. I’m gonna sail my ship across the sea.
Adm’ral of the mighty ocean sea. Cause it’s the sailor’s life for me!
3 – both verses at the same time.

Sing to Martin Luther King Michael and Jil Gallina
1. He was a man who stood for brotherhood. A man of peace and pride,
A man who had a dream that we could all live side by side.
But he gave his life before his dream became reality,
That ev’ry race and creed be guaranteed to have equality.

He gave his life to set this nation free.
And it’s up to me and you to make his dream come true,
Working hand in hand, across the land, for peace and harmony.
