Grade 6 Song Lyrics To Memorize for the Winter Concert

GRADE 6 WINTER HOLIDAY CONCERT SONGS
Dear Students,
It is your responsibility to memorize these three songs between now and the Winter
Holiday concert on December 17th. I will let you know which sections you will need to
practice each week. Remember, it is best to practice for 5 minutes everyday, than
spending 30 minutes the night before. I will give you a homework grade based on how
well it is memorized. Miss Lalla
#5 Shepherd Boy
(from the musical revue Paint the Town December)
Shepherd boy, shepherd boy, tell me the story.
Tell me of Mary, of Joseph and Son.
Was there no room, but in a stable of light?
Shepherd boy. Tell me the story tonight.
Why did they travel by donkey so far?
How were they led by the glow of a star?
Give me the answer ‘cause I need to know.
Is there a place where my heart needs to go?
Shepherd boy, shepherd boy, tell me the story.
Tell me of shepherds asleep in their fields.
Did angels sing, bringing good tidings to man?
Shepherd boy, tell me tonight if you can.
Who would have traveled on camels afar?
How were they led by the glow of a star?
Give me the answer ‘cause I need to know.
Is there a place where my heart needs to grow?
Shepherd boy, shepherd boy, tell me the story.
Tell me of promises sent from on high.
Was there a child sent down from heaven above?
Shepherd boy, tell me the story of love.
Shepherd boy, tell me the story of love.
#6 The Colors of Las Posadas
(from the musical revue Paint the Town December)
De colores,
De colores se visten los campos en la primavera
De colores,
De colores son los pajaritos que vienen de a fuera
De colores,
De colores es el arco iris que vemos lucir,
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi
Las Posadas
See us walk with our candles and light up the streets of the city
Las Posadas
As we knock on each door, waiting now for the Innkeeper’s pity.
Mother Mary and Joseph on their little donkey alone with the sun’s fading light
Is there room at the inn for a fam’ly this wintery night?
Is there room at the inn for a fam’ly this wintery night?
Ole!
#7 Hearts Around the World
(from the musical revue Paint the Town December)
Hearts around the world.
Hearts beating as one
Hearts around the world
Will show the way
Pray for the peace of a distant land
Share in the hope that we’ll understand,
With our heart and soul we will reach the goal
of hearts around the world.
Peace good will t’ward men
Hearts around the world
Will sing as one
Everyone giving the world to see
Everyone living in harmony
Singing one by one
We have just begun
With hearts around the world
Hearts beating as one
Hearts around the world
Will show the way for lasting peace on earth
Of peace on earth
