Written by James Rado & Gerome Ragni (lyrics), and Galt MacDermot, from the
Broadway musical “HAIR”

When the moon is in the seventh house


And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the


Age of Aquarius

Harmony and understanding


Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
(Mystic crystal revelation)
And the mind's true liberation, Aquarius
Aquarius

When the moon is in the Seventh House


And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius

Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in

REVOLUTION
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, recorded by The Beatles

You say you want a revolution, well, you know


We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution, well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction


Don't you know that you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be


All right, all right,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
all right

You say you got a real solution, well, you know


We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution, well, you know
We're all doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be


All right, all right,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
all right

You say you'll change the constitution, well, you know


We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution, well, you know
You better free your mind instead

But when you talk about destruction


Don't you know that you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be


All right, all right,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
all right
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
Written by Stephen Stills, performed by Buffalo Springfield

There's something happening here


What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound


Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn


Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound


Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat


A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound


Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep


Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound


Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
I SHALL BE RELEASED
Written and recorded by Bob Dylan

They say everything can be replaced


And every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every one who put me here

I see my light come shinin’


From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man will need protection


They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere high above this wall

I see my light come shinin’


From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Standing next to me in a lonely crowd


A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long he shouts so loud
Crying out he's not to blame

I see my light come shinin’


From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
THE SOUND OF SILENCE
Written by Paul Simon, recorded by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend


I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone


Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw


Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, you do not know


Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed


To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway
walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
THE BEAT GOES ON
Written by Sonny Bono, recorded by Sonny and Cher

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain


La de da de de, la de da de da
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh

The mini skirts, the current thing, uh huh


Millennial is our newborn king, uh huh

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain


La de da de de, la de da de da
The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh

And people still keep on marching off to war


Electrically they keep a baseball score

And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on


And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on

La de da de de, la de da de da
La de da de de l
la de da de da

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain


La de da de de, la de da de da
We

And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on


And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
SAVE THE COUNTRY
Written by Laura Nyro, recorded by The Fifth Dimension

Come on people, come on children


Come on down to the glory river
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down

Come on people, come on children


There’s a king a the glory river
And the precious king loved the people to sing
Babes in the blinking sun
Singing “we shall overcome”

I got fury in my soul


Fury’s gonna take me to the glory goal
In my mind I can’t study war no more

Save the people, save the children, save the country, save the country

Come on people, come on children


Come on down to the glory river
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down

Come on people, come on children


Sons and daughters, keep that dream of the two young brothers
Take that dream and ride that dove
We can build the dream with love, I know
We can build the dream with love, I know
We can build the dream with love
We can build the dream with love

I got fury in my soul


Fury’s gonna take me to the glory goal
In my mind I can’t study war no more

Save the people, save the children, save the country, save the country
Save the country now
EVERYDAY PEOPLE
Written by Sly Stone, recorded by Sly and the Family Stone

(Choir)
I am everyday people

(Solo)
Sometimes I'm right but I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in

(Choir)
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one

(Solo)
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh sha sha we got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in

(Choir)
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
(We're gonna cut the next section for time)
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one

Different strokes for different folks


And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh sha sha we got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one

Different strokes for different folks


And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
I am everyday people

Ad lib to end
Ooh, sha sha
Different strokes, for different folks
I am everyday people

PRIDE: IN THE NAME OF LOVE
Written by Bono, recorded by U2

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(repeat)

One man come in the name of love


One man come and go.
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow.

In the name of love


What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

One man caught on a barbed wire fence


One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss.

In the name of love


What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

In the evening, April four


A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.

In the name of love


What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

In the name of love


What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
