Rejoice the Voice
Lyrics at bottom of page
Well that's it for another year but what a time we've had
out there eh girls? It has been the best year ever
for our vocal workshops and the amazing results we all achieved in just a
few hours were staggering. The feedback we've had has been really positive
and we'd like to throw that positivity right back at you - you were top!
So, RTV will be back next year with a complete new set of songs to get our
teeth into but until then, keep singing, and not just in the bathroom - bring
it out and 'Rejoice The Voice'!
Thanks again, see you next year.
Julie, Chris and Helen.

Lyrics for 2008 Workshops
Why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble,
baby
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble
But a whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be giving,
Why watch as the world goes by
It’s a hard enough life to be living,
Why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
And a whole lotta ground to gain
When you spend your whole life wishing,
Wanting and wondering why
It's a long enough life to be living,
Why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of cold
In this world there's a whole lot of blame
In this world you've a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
There's a star on the far horizon,
Rising bright in an azure sky
For the rest of the time that you're given,
Why walk when you can fly
Way down deep
Way down, way way down, way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down deep, Way way down deep
You're got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep , I'm way down, way way down,
Way way down deep
It came to me this morning I was walking down the street
Was like my soul could taste you and God, you tasted sweet
Finally I can breathe again, finally I can speak
I've got you in the glory place, I've got you way down deep
I've got you................
It's a funny feeling but I cannot say I mind
I know that I'm dealing with a love that's far from blind
I see every single angle I look before I leap
And how else can I put it when you're got me way down deep
You've got me …
Don't matter what we gave away was nothing we could keep
Don't matter what we didn’t say you know that talk is cheap
Forgive me if I hate you you're a liar and a thief
But I've got you in the glory place I got you way down deep
You've got me …
Don't matter if the road is long don't matter if it's steep
Don't matter if the moon goes out and darkness is complete
Don't matter if we lose our way I know we're gonna meet
I've got you in the glory place I've got you way down deep
You've got me …
Way down, way way down, Way way down deep
Way down, way way down, Way way down deep
For the Longest Time
Oh, oh, oh, oh For the longest time - Oh, oh, oh, oh For the longest
time
If you said goodbye to me tonight, There would still be music left to write
What else could I do I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone Now I know that happiness
goes on
That's where you found me When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, oh For the longest time - Oh, oh, oh, oh For the
longest
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all, Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long But you feel so right and
I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far and it's more than I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start, I said to myself, Hold
on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are, You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings I have been a fool
for lesser things
I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
Oh Oh Oh Oh For the longest time, Oh Oh Oh Oh For the longest
time
You Gotta Move
You got to move , You got to move
You got to move, child, You got to move
But when the Lord gets ready
You got to move
You may be high, You may be low
You may be rich, child, You may be po'
But when the Lord gets ready
You've got to move
You see that woman that walk the street
You see the policeman out on his beat
But when the Lord gets ready
You got to move
You got to move, You got to move
You've got to move, child, You've got to
But when the Lord gets ready
You got to move.
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday just for you
Happy birthday and may all your dreams come true
When you blow out the candle
One light stays aglow
That’s the love that’s in your heart
Where ‘ere you go
The Black Hills of Dakota
Take me back to the black hills, the black hills of Dakota
To the beautiful Indian country that I Iove
Lost my heart in the black hills, the black hills of Dakota
Where the pines are so high that they kiss the sky above
And when I get that lonesome feelin'
And I'm miles away from home
I hear the voice of the mystic mountains
Callin' me back home
So take me back to the black hills the black hills of Dakota
To the beautiful Indian country that I love
And when I get that lonesome feelin'
And I'm miles away from home
I hear the voice of the mystic mountains
Callin' me back home
So take me back to the black hills the black hills of Dakota
To the beautiful Indian country that I love
To the beautiful Indian country that I love
To the beautiful Indian country that I love
The Lyke Wake Dirge
This ae nighte, this ae nighte, Every nighte and alle,
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte, And Christe receive thy saule.
When thou from hence away art past, Every nighte and alle,
To Whinny-Muir thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule.
If ever thou gavest hosen and shoen, Every nighte and alle,
Sit thee down and put them on; And Christe receive thy saule.
If hosen and shoen thou ne'er gav'st nane - Every nighte and
alle,
The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane;
-And Christe receive thy saule.
From Whinny-muir when thou mayst pass, Every nighte and alle,
To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule.
From Brig o' Dread when thou mayst pass, -- Every nighte and
alle,
To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule.
If ever thou gavest meat or drink, Every nighte and alle,
The fire sall never make thee shrink; And Christe receive thy saule.
If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane, Every nighte and
alle,
The fire will burn thee to the bare bane;
And Christe receive thy saule.
This ae nighte, this ae nighte, -- Every nighte and alle,
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte, -- And Christe receive thy saule.
Devoted to you
Darlin' you can count on me
'Til the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be devoted to you
I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm devoted to you
I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so devoted to you
I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so devoted to you
It can't die because I'm so devoted to you
