1. The everywhichway wind is blowing

Everywhichway, up and down

It blows upon the ships at sea

And on the children in the town.

Chorus

Oh - It's coming round again

Blows you up and blows you down,

the everywhichway wind

Oh - It's rising up again

Blows you all around the town,

the everywhichway wind!

2. The everywhichway wind is blowing

Everywhichway, everywhere

It slaps my clothes and scatters leaves

And makes a bird nest in my hair!

3. It sends the empty trashcans flying

Booming as they roll along

It snaps the branches off the trees

And sings a wild and windy song!

4. It brings the warmth of summer heat

It brings the sleet and driving rain

The winter winds blow cold and then

It brings the breeze of spring again!

5. Tell me wind, where are you going?

Tell me why you blow so wild

The next direction never knowing

Chasing round me like a child!

Chorus

Who knows?  Tell me who knows?

Who knows where my money goes?

It’s a mystery, so please tell me

Who knows where my money goes?

1. Nobody knows the trouble I seen (who knows where my money goes?)

Gonna go downtown, find a money machine (who knows where my money goes?)

2. Old King Cole was a merry old soul (who knows....)

Cause the peasants paid for his pipe and bowl (who knows...)           

chorus

3. My friend Bill is nice as can be

But too many Bills been chasin’ me

4. My paycheck’s fine, for two weeks enough

But unfortunately, it comes once a month!                                         

5. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Here comes a lawyer who’s really slick

6. Jack ‘n’ Jill went up the hill

Tumbled back down when they saw the bill                           

chorus

7. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Reached for a dollar and had a great fall

8. Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet

They raised her rent and she had to rough it

9. Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town

No money for clothes, he’s in a nightgown

10. Little Jack Horner stuck in his thumb

I want my money, not this darn plum! 

chorus

3. The Heart of a Woman

words and music by Kristin Lems

© 2015 Kleine Ding Music (BMI)

1.  In Copiapo Chile, a mine shaft collapsed

Maria and the other wives rushed to the scene

“Go away ladies, this is men’s work!”

She said, “You break rocks, but you can’t break me!”

Chorus

The heart of a woman is deeper than a mountain

Harder than rock, safer than a shelter

The heart of a woman is deeper than a mountain

Rock my soul.

2.  33 miners deep inside the mountain

33 miners as good as dead

But the women and the children set up their camp

“You will bring them out alive!” the women said.

3.  For 19 days the probes brought nothing

But in Maria’s heart was a tapping sound

The 19^th day, the probe brought a message

33 miners alive underground!

4.  The men underground sang songs, told stories

Exercised in their prison in the earth

Got notes and videos from women who waited

Reminding them what life is worth.

5.  After 69 days, the capsule was ready

The world held its breath, sent letters, said prayers

Till one by one the men were liberated

Into the arms of the women there!

Chorus

You can’t rush the river

Or the tides of the sea

Or the delicate sunrise

So please don’t rush me

1. You can’t rush a rose

As its petals unfurl

Or a ripening apple

Or the turn of the world

chorus 

2. You can’t rush a full moon

Or the coming of spring

Or the growth of a baby

Or a bird on the wing

chorus

3. All good things take time

They sometimes move slow

They each have their rhythm

They each have their flow

chorus

 Chorus

Oh little bird, where are you flying?

You are so far, so far from home

The winds of war have blown your nest away

Oh little bird, you’re bound to roam

1. If we had wings to fly back in time

To days of peace and nights of calm

You’d fly straightway to the ones you love

But time will not stand still, so you fly on

2. Through storm and rain you made your journey

Through days and nights, each step a test

We offer twigs and leaves, and ribbons

Here you can build, here you can rest

3. And one by one we’ll make a better day

And day by day, peace shall return

As twig by twig together we will build

A nest of peace to shelter all the world!

Last chorus:

Oh little bird, where are you flying?

You are so far, so far from home

But one by one together we will build

A nest of peace to shelter all the world

A nest of peace to shelter all the world!

1.  You can talk about pirates on the Caribbean Sea

Or Corsairs lurking in the Mediterranee

Or the Persian Gulf, where pirate crews roam

But one Chicago pirate is a case all his own!

Old Cap Streeter lives in infamy

2. A 30 year reign in the 1870’s

His steamboat ran aground on Lake Michigan's shore

Claimed the land as his own, set out to get more!

Chorus

It’s old Cap Streeter, the pirate of Chicago!

Old Cap Streeter, the pirate of Chicago!

Raise a glass to Cap Streeter, do!

Yo ho ho ---   Arrrrrr!  Yo ho ho ---   Arrrrrr!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of Chicago brew!

3. Cap made his fortune plundering cargo

When ships made ports of call to Chicago

With his pirate crew, his riches grew

The cops couldn’t touch him - and he shot a few!

4. The city wanted him out, so the rich could move in

Prime lakefront land, the obstacle was him

He held them at bay with forgeries and suits

And Ma Streeter came after them in combat boots!    

5. He built a two story “Castle” on an old boat frame

He’d pull up the ladder when the marshals came

What happened on his turf was soon renowned

For people and treasures it was “lost and found”

6. Like other outlaws of fame and renown

They finally got him on tax evasion grounds

After his jail time, now a free man

Cap opened a Chicago hot dog stand!                                    

7. When his time was up, they finally got the land

Built the finest hotels and brought in yellow sand

But Old Cap Streeter's name is alive:

Streeterville's got the Hancock and Lake Shore Drive!

1. I’d walk across a village just to be with you

To sit with you

A little while

I’d walk across a village just to be with you

To touch your hand

To see you smile

By crescent moon or full moon I would find my way

Across the stones

To where you stay

My heart would find the path to lead me to your door

As if I’d known

That path before

2. I’d walk across a village just to be with you

To share a song

To share a sigh

I’d walk across a village just to be with you

To talk with you

To be nearby

At the edge of twilight I would come to you

My heart’s delight

I’d run to you

The velvet glove of night would hold us in its hand

As word by word

The flames are fanned

I’d walk across a village just to be with you

To sit with you

A little while

I’d walk across a village just to be with you

To touch your hand

To see your smile.

1. Mohamed Mossadegh stood for the people  

Born into a wealthy class

Could have merely enjoyed his privilege and power

But this servant leader chose another path

2. Studied law in Switzerland, returned to Iran

Elected to Iran’s new parliament

Took part in Iran’s constitutional revolution

Built people’s power wherever he went

3. Served as governor, finance minister

His reforms widely loved across Iran

Till the shah was forced to make him prime minister

Mossadegh kept democracy pushing on

4. He stood up to the generals and to the aristocracy

Stood up to the monarchy

And then he stood up to British petroleum

And from their hold broke Iran free

5.  Those who rule by force are quickly forgotten

Their cruel deeds erased from memory

But for this patriot of Persia, Mohammed Mossadegh,

Our memory is as fresh as can be

6. Trusting the people, and listening to their wisdom

This is what a servant leader gives

As long as democracy is loved anywhere

Dr. Mossadegh lives.

1. A neighbor ran in the park each day

Part of his workout for parkour play

What a surprise he found last May -

It was Carl the guinea hen!

2. It was easy to catch him in a towel

Carl was one bedraggled fowl

He nursed him to health, soon we all gave a howl seeing

Carl the guinea hen!

Chorus

Carl the guinea hen

Lived on our street without a pen

Perhaps one day we’ll see him again

Carl the guinea hen!

3. Like a turkey breast with a scrawny neck

Two red wattles his beak bedecked 

His two-toned call was loud as heck 

Carl the guinea hen

4. Some neighbors loved him and some did not

The city was called but he never was caught

Carl stopped traffic on the spot

That odd-looking guinea hen.

5. Now fair was the fowl when the weather was fair

But soon coyotes were lurking there

And a hawk watched Carl from a nearby lair

To make a meal of that guinea hen!

6. So Carl’s protectors hatched a plot

Let Carl die? No, they would not

Bought a chicken cage, found a quiet spot

And caught that guinea hen!

7. They drove downstate to a welcoming farm

Just one time held him in their arms, now he’s

Pecking in the yard and safe from harm

Carl the guinea hen!

1. Reporter: Why do you fly?

Amelia:          Because there’s a sky.

Reporter:      But women don’t fly

Amelia:          This woman flies!

Reporter:      It just isn’t done

Amelia:          I want to reach for the sun!

                        and I’ve only begun!

Nobody asks a man “Why are you climbing that mountain?”

Nobody asks a man “Why are you fording that stream?”

Nobody asks a man, “Why are you digging through those old bones?”

They know it’s his life, they know it’s his joy, they know it’s his dream!

And this is my dream!

2. Reporter: Why do you fly?

Amelia:          Because there’s a sky.

Reporter:      But women don’t fly

Amelia:          This woman flies!

Reporter:      No woman has dared

                        The world’s not prepared

Amelia:          But I am not scared.

Imagine the people and places that we can now visit!

Imagine the feel of the wind when you’re up in a plane

When I imagine what men have imagined forever

They say it’s a stunt, they say it’s a whim –

They say I’m insane!

Intro Break

3. Reporter: Why do you fly?

Amelia:          Because there’s a sky.

Reporter:      But women don’t fly

Amelia:          This woman flies!

Reporter:      She’s one stubborn dame

It’s a dangerous game

Amelia:          I’ll fly just the same

What is a life that is nothing but sitting and waiting?

What is a life that is pretty and dainty and small?

Just like a still life of flowers and apples that never grow

My life must be big, my life must be grand, or it’s no life at all!

Reporter/Amelia:   Why do you fly?/I’m gonna fly  (2x)

Amelia:          No matter the outcome

It’s all worth the try

I’m going to fly!

1. This is the time, the time of year

For gathering together

We can brave the longest night

And all the wintry weather

Longest night, we fear you not!

For we have kept our hearthstones hot

This is the time, the time of year

For gathering together.

2. Winter with its icy breath

Has thrown its spell upon us

All the birds and geese have left

And ice and snow surround us

But tonight, the balance shifts

Back toward life and all its gifts

This is the time, the time of year

For gathering together.

3. Force of darkness, force of night

You shall no longer lead us!

Rattle the windows, steal the light

But you shall not defeat us!

You wrestled us right to the ground

But we will win the coming round!

This is the time, the time of year

For gathering together.

4. So raise your glass and raise your voice

In fellowship and courage

Against the cold, against the odds

Our lasting lives will flourish

For we are all brave women and men –

And like the sun will rise again!

This is the time, the time of year

For gathering together!

1. Set like a jewel on Lake Michigan's shore

We see you and know what a great city's for

I'll sing you this song for the dreams you've fulfilled

If you ask me, Chicago I will

2. From days of DuSable till the railroads were laid

You're a center of progress, a center of trade

Your history, your mystery still make my heart thrill

If you ask me, Chicago I will

3. So many people from so many lands

Have come with a vision and offered their hands

You grew from their courage, they strengthen you still

If you ask me, Chicago, I will

4. Great people, great movements have come through and gone

And through all the changes, you keep rollin on

Your people's ideals, they strengthen you still

If you ask me, Chicago, I will

5. This much is for certain, wherever I roam

Sweet home Chicago, you'll always be home

We'll grow old together, I'll love you until

You ask me Chicago, I will

I'll love you for now and I'll love you until

You ask me, Chicago, I will.

Chorus:  No turning back (3x), We’re working for a better world

1. Bread not bombs…

2. No hungry child….

3. Keep hope alive….

4. Honor the earth!....
