GV Sing Along Lyrics and Recordings



We Are The World
By Michael Jackson
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 all are a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well...well...well
Let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]

Turn! Turn! Turn!
By The Byrds
Translation in progress. Please wait...
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/i/loader.gif
To everything, turn, turn, turn.
There is a season, turn, turn, turn.
And a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born, a time to die.
A time to plant, a time to reap.
A time to kill, a time to heal.
A time to laugh, a time to weep.

To everything, turn, turn, turn.
There is a season, turn, turn, turn.
And a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time to build up, a time to break down.
A time to dance, a time to mourn.
A time to cast away stones.
A time to gather stones together.

To everything, turn, turn, turn.
There is a season, turn, turn, turn.
And a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time of love, a time of hate.
A time of war, a time of peace.
A time you may embrace.
A time to refrain from embracing.

To everything, turn, turn, turn.
There is a season, turn, turn, turn.
And a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time to gain, a time to lose.
A time to rend, a time to sew.
A time for love, a time for hate.
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

By Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
Accept it soon, you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin', you could sink like a stone
For the times, they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters, beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
So get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'
For the times, they are a-changin'
The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
The present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

Global Voices Holiday Party Reunion :)

Hello and happy holidays! :)

The former Global Voices crew had a reunion holiday party on 12/5/15 at my place. It was very fun and there was lots of yummy food from different places. We even had a demonstration by Muntaka, from Ghana, on his "talking drum" - see video below!

Wishing you and yours a peaceful holiday season and all year round... -Jennifer :)

P.S. The signs the members are holding say: "Teach Peace Through Music" :)

Video about Global Voices :)

Hello! :)

Thank you for visiting my blog about Global Voices and reading about my interest in promoting intercultural communication and respect through the arts. Here is a video a PSU student did as part of his final project for a media productions class. I think it turned out great! :)

GV Blog Update

Even though I will not be leading Global Voices this coming academic year (see update below), I plan to keep this blog site and may continue to use it for posting about my doctoral research interests.

I have a broad background in the arts, to include music, theater, dance, visual arts, etc. My Master's degree is in Teaching English as a Second Language. Over the past few years, my artistic background has combined with my love for international peoples and cultures. This has led me to my present research interest:

I'm a big proponent of using the arts as modes of communication between people from diverse cultures. At the moment, I'm interested in how the arts can be utilized to reduce and resolve intercultural stereotypes, prejudice, and conflict. As I progress with my doctorate, I will be doing further research in this area. Stay tuned! :)

Global Voices Update

Dear Global Voices members,
It is with sadness that I must tell you that I won't be continuing to lead GV this summer and into the next academic year. My doctoral studies need more attention at the moment. I enjoyed leading GV very much and I hope to do it again in the future. Global Connections, GV's sponsor, is trying to find another leader. If you know anyone who might be interested, please contact them. Here is their website: http://www.gc-cc.org/
Hopefully the group will continue in some form. I really enjoyed getting to know each of you and I wish you all the best!
Take care, Jennifer :)

Global Voices Summer Update

Hello everyone, :)
This is just a quick note to update you all about the current status of Global Voices. I apologize that I haven't been in touch this month. As of right now we are not meeting. If we meet this summer it won't be until sometime in July. I haven't found out about the availability of the church yet. I've been having some health problems, so everything is on hold for now. I hope all of you are enjoying the warmer weather!
Take care, Jennifer
