Heaven<\/strong> by Willy Grigg 6\/2\/23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanna go to heaven, it\u2019s great to be in heaven
Whenever I\u2019m in heaven, I\u2019m in a heavenly state
There\u2019s no oppression or aggression, when you\u2019re up in heaven
That\u2019s why I\u2019m going to heaven, I can hardly wait<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I get there everything slides off my mind
My heart feels peace, I don\u2019t even think about being unkind
Take my hand, let\u2019s not be scared
Let\u2019s make a plan, I\u2019ll meet you there
That sacred place, where love is in the air<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanna be in heaven, I like to be in heaven
\nWhenever I\u2019m in heaven, everything\u2019s alright
\nI think I learn a lesson, each time I\u2019m in heaven
\nWhen nature reveals herself to me in paradise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s slow down, touch the ground and grab a breath of fresh air
There\u2019s chaos ruling and people drooling in their comfortable chair
But heaven\u2019s really not that far, We\u2019re safe beneath the moon and stars
To say what we mean, be who we really are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to go to heaven, it\u2019s great to be in heaven,
I feel so safe there, I feel so free
Whenever I’m in heaven, my amps turned to 11
And the universe sings along with me
I like to be in heaven, I like to be in heaven
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Can Be<\/strong> by Willy Grigg 3\/3\/23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[E]You can be soft, [A] but you don\u2019t [E] have to be soft [A]
\n[E] You can be strong,[A] but you don\u2019t have to be [E] strong
\n[E] You have the right, [A] to decide who you are [E]
\nNo one has the right, [A] to tell you you\u2019re[B] wrong<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[A] If you\u2019re not [B] hurting no one [E] else
\n[A] It\u2019s no one\u2019s [B] business what you [E] do
\n[A] The songs you [B] sing, the clothes you [G#m]wear [C#m]
\nHow could [F#m] someone be offended?
\nWhy would anybody [B7] care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve [E] got a voice, inside of you
\nIit wants to sing out, it wants to ring true
\nI\u2019ve got a voice, inside of me
\nThe song I sing might not be right for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything more cruel?
Then to tell someone they\u2019re wrong
Wrong because of how they feel (inside)
That can’t be changed with prayers or magic wands<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can be soft, but you don’t have to be soft
You can be strong, but you don’t have to be strong
You have the right to decide who you are
You have the right to decide who you are
You have the right, be who you are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put Your Hand in the Hand<\/strong> by Gene MacLellan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put your [G] hand in the hand of the man who stilled the [D7] water.
\nPut your [Am7] hand in the hand of the [D7] man who calmed the [G] sea.
\nTake a [Dm] look at yourself and a [G7] you can look at
\n[C] others differently. [C#dim7]
\nBy putting your [G\/D] hand in the [Em] hand of the [A7] man from [D7]Galilee[G]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every [G] time I look into the holy book I want to [D7] tremble.
When I [Am7] read about the part
where the [D7] carpenter cleared the [G] temple. [C] [G]
For the [Dm7] buyers and the sellers were [G7] no different fellas
than what [C] I profess to [C#dim7] be.
And it [G\/D] causes me [Em] shame
to know I\u2019m [A7] not the person [D7] I should [G] be. [C] [G]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My momma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
When I’m down on my knees, that’s when I’m closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife, well you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through, oh yeah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
