Down by the Riverside Bordelon S Class Plays (Key of C)

We Are the World

There comes a time when we heed a certain call, When the world must come together as one----
There are people dying
and it’s time to lend a hand to life, the greatest gift of all. / We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need / We are the world,
We are the children,
We are the ones to make a better day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making,----we’re saving our own lives, it’s true, we make a better day,
just you and me. / Send them your heart so they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As we’ve been shown
through family & friends
So we all must lend a helping hand
It’s true, we’ll make a better day,
Just you and me / We are the world… / When we’re down and out, there seems no hope at all, But if you just believe There’s no way we can fall Well—Let’s realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one. / We are the world…

We Hold These Truths (key of C)

Crosby’s class alone
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… / Bordelon’s class alone
One class hums America the Beautiful during “we hold these truths” and continues humming until the end of the song America the Beautiful

America the Beautiful (key of C)
