We Gather Together - The Joslin Grove Choral Society

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing; He chastens and hastens His will to make known. The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing. Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own. Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fight we were winning; Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine! We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant, And pray that Thou still our Defender will be. Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go A little high, little low Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooo Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine Body's aching all the time Goodbye everybody I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooo (anyway the wind blows) I don't want to die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Figaro - magnifico But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come easy go will you let me go Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go Bismillah! We will not let you go let me go Will not let you go let me go (never) Never let you go let me go Never let me go ooo No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me For me For me So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh baby can't do this to me baby Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here Ooh yeah, ooh yeah Nothing really matters Anyone can see Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me Anyway the wind blows

Risin' up, back on the streets Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times, it happend too fast You change you passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the eyes of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all in the eyes of the tiger Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds till we take to the street For we kill with the skill to survive It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all in the eyes of the tiger Risin' up, straight to the top Have the guts, got the glory Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all in the eyes of the tiger The eyes of the tiger The eyes of the tiger The eyes of the tiger The eyes of the tiger The eyes of the tiger
