***PRESENTATION ON SYMBOLS AND QUOTES TO BE PLACED HERE***

Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Judy Garland

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow.

Why then, oh why can't I?

True Colors – Cyndi Lauper

But I see your true colors, shining through

I see your true colors, and that's why I love you

so don't be afraid to let them show

your true colors, true colors are beautiful

like a rainbow

Chelsea Morning – Joni Mitchell

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning

And the first thing that I saw

Was the sun through yellow curtains

And a rainbow on the wall

Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you

Crimson crystal beads to beckon

Oh, won't you stay

We'll put on the day

There's a sun show every second

The Rainbow Connection - Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher - The Muppet Movie

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,

And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong, Eva Cassidy

Colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

and also in the faces, of the people passing by…

I Can See Clearly Now - John Nash

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin' for

It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sun-Shiny day.

Beannacht - John O'Donohue

And when your eyes

Freeze behind

The gray window

And the ghost of loss

Gets in to you,

May a flock of colors,

Indigo, red, green

And azure blue

Come to awaken in you

A meadow of delight.

Soul Meets Body - Death Cab For Cutie

I want to live where soul meets body

And let the sun wrap its arms around me

And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing

And feel, feel what its like to be new

Come Healing - Leonard Cohen

O, see the darkness yielding

That tore the light apart

Come healing of the reason

Come healing of the heart

O, troubledness concealing

An undivided love

The heart beneath is teaching

To the broken heart above

The Scientist - Cold Play

I was just guessing

At numbers and figures

Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science

Science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart

There is a Reason - Allison Krause

In all the things that cause me pain,

You give me eyes to see

I do believe but help my unbelief

Bitterweet Symphony - Verve

Well I never pray But tonight I'm on my knees yeah

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now

But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

Anthem - Leonard Cohen

You can add up the parts

but you won't have the sum

You can strike up the march,

there is no drum

Every heart, every heart

to love will come

but like a refugee.

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack, a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in.

Timshel - Mumford & Sons

Cold is the water

It freezes your already cold mind

Already cold, cold mind

And death is at your doorstep

And it will steal your innocence

But it will not steal your substance

But you are not alone in this

And you are not alone in this

As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand.

Hold your hand

Bridge Over Troubled Waters - Simon and Garfunkel

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Lose Yourself - Eminem

Lose yourself in the music, the moment - you own it.

Oh, Had I a Golden Thread - Pete Seeger

Oh, had I a golden Thread

And needle so fine

I've weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design

Of rainbow design.

In it I'd weave the bravery

Of women giving birth,

In it I would weave the innocence

Of children over all the earth,

Children of all earth.

I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

Just Breathe - Anna Nalick

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table

No one can find the rewind button, girl.

So cradle your head in your hands

And breathe... just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe

Let it Be - Beatles

And when the night is cloudy,

There is still a light that shines on me.

Shine until tomorrow, let it be.
