Get Up and Go
Artist: Alison Casella Brookins Lyrics: (below) Type: Unison refrain, call/response verses Notes: Starting note A. Upbeat sending song. There should probably be clapping. Refrain You gotta get up and go out of this place Get up, go out and live 2x Verse 1 Leader: Your God came that you might have life All: Get up, go out and live Leader: So full of light that you just can’t hide All: Get up, go out and live refrain Verse 2 Leader: Won’t be easy, you’re gonna be scared All: Get up, go out and live Leader: Look around there’s hope out there All: Get up, go out and live refrain Verse 3 Leader: Take a step and raise your voice All: Get up, go out and live Leader: Don’t hafta be perfect to sing ‘n rejoice All: Get up, go out and live Thank You For This Day, Spirit (Rhythmic, Loose)
Artist: from the Native American Church Movement Lyrics: "Thank you for this day, Spirit, this healing day." Full lyrics can be found here. Type: Unison Notes: I learned this at a tempo somewhere between the above rhythmic/loose recordings; rhythmic enough that it can be sung in a group, but with all the stretching of notes you want. When I first heard this I thought it was tacky, but then I found myself singing it all week, and it popped into my head whenever I felt gratitude—often before I consciously realized I was grateful, I would be singing this. Now it's one of my favorites. One Foot/Lead With Love
Artist: Melanie DeMore Lyrics: "You gotta put one one foot in front of the other, and lead with love" Type: Echo verses, unison chorus Notes: For whenever you need power to persevere. Rhythmic, good for singing on Zoom, marching song. |
