Happy New Year(ABBA)
No more champagne And the fireworks are through Here we are, me and you Feeling lost and feeling blue It's the end of the party And the morning seems so grey So unlike yesterday Now's the time for us to say
Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I
Sometimes I see How the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives In the ashes of our lives Oh yes, man is a fool And he thinks he'll be OK Dragging on feet of clay Never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway
Seems to me now That the dreams we had before Are all dead nothing more Than confetti on the floor It's the end of a decade In another ten years time Who can say what we'll find What lies waiting down the line In the end of eighty-nine

4.We are the world (M.Jackson)
There comes a time When we hear 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 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. Well, 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 And so we all must lend a helping hand. We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets 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 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, well, let us realize That a change will only come When we stand together as one 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
