Lyrics:

1. 'Play With Sky' with Ben Harper
I’m going outside
Gonna play with the sky
I run outside
And I play with the sky
Running wild
Play with sky
I’m waving hi
It mystifies
I’m going outside
I’m gonna play with sky

Now a wondering breeze
Came blowing by
She said if you see the sun
Don’t look him in the eye

Going outside to play with sky, yeah!
Just like the free birds love to fly
I’m going outside
I’m gonna play with the sky

(Trumpet solo)

Let’s clarify, we play with sky
Eat blueberry pie
And I play with the sky
Going outside
To feel the vibe
Feel the vibe!

If you are a rainbow
Then you’ll know why
I’m going outside
I’m gonna play with the sky

(Ben Harper lap steel guitar solo)

And now comes the sun,
Wanna have some fun
He said let’s run and run and run
To the edge of the sea
Where we say goodnight, good eve
And when we’re tired of staying inside
We go outside and we play with the sky

(Trumpet solo)

2. 'Everywhere You Go' with Sheryl Crow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow

You will always have love in your life
Remember the words: I’ll be by your side
So walk without breaking stride
‘Cause the path of the righteous is a radiant light

Everywhere you go, yeah! My love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow… alright
Everywhere you go, my love will follow

Unified family one heart we beat,
It’s a sacred bond that we always keep,
the sun will rise and the sun will set, oh!
Depend on what you have, no need to fret

Everywhere you go, my love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love-my love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow

Win or lose we gonna do our best
So many adventures on roads life quest
And any time that you’re feeling fear,
Remember the strength you’re never alone out here

Everywhere you go, my love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow
Everywhere you go, my love will follow

Wherever you are
Everywhere
My love, my love, my love, my love
I’ll never let you down
I’ll be with you everywhere
My love will be around
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
My love, my love, my love, my love
My love, my love
My love will always be around

3. 'Music Is In Everything' with Lisa Loeb
Music is in everything
Listen to the ocean sing (x4)

Tree dance as the wind blows
Clap your hands and you’ll know
Music is in everything

Pots and pans they make good sound
Families now gather round
There’s a concert Sat’day afternoon
Join us in the kitchen
As we make our rhythm
Grandma grandpa you’ll be dancing too
Make a rice shaker
Lets eat dinner later
Raindrops really locked into the groove
Laughing is a nice sound
Spreading joy all around
Have you heard the river’s latest tune

Music is in everything
Listen to the birds they sing (x4)

The bee dance as the honey flows
Stomp your feet and you’ll know
Music is in everything

Pots and pans they make good sound
Families now gather round
There’s a concert Sat’day afternoon
Join us in the kitchen
As we make our rhythm
Uncle Auntie you’ll be dancing too
Make a rice shaker
Lets eat dinner later
Raindrops really locked into the groove
Laughing is a nice sound
Spreading joy all around
Have you heard the river’s latest tune

Music is in everything
Listen to the ocean sing
Music is in everything
Listen to the birds they sing (x4)

4. 'Move Your Body' with Tom Morello, Busta Rhymes and Isaiah Marley
Boom chicka boom (x16)

We don’t need more sugar (x2)
What we don’t need sugar
What we need no more sugar

I’ve got this energy
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
And it wants to be free from me
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
Yes I’m gonna let it go
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat) (x2)

I feel this energy
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
And it needs to be free from me
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
Yes I’m gonna let it go
(move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat) (x4)

Boom chicka boom (x16)

(Guitar solo)

La lee lay lee la lee lo (x8)

La la la la la la la (x6)

When you got that energy
You’ve got to let it go (x2)

And it needs to be free from you
And it needs to be free from me

When you got that energy
You’ve got to let it go (x2)

And it needs to be free from you
And it needs to be free from me

Now when we make you move your body
They probably think we’re all related
You know I think I made it
Then I’m always obligated
And if you think you’re shining
Better know we come to take it
You know exactly what I rep
Don’t even try debate it
Now I’m repping for my people
’Til they put me in a hearse
And if it violates
Ya prob’ly feel it when it bursts
Cause when it comes to the turn up boy
You know it’s about to get worse
And if no one wants to keep the energy
Tell them pull up and widen the verse
Busta busta and Ziggy link up
Best somebody call a nurse

(Guitar solo)

La lee lay lee la lee lo (x8)

La la la la la la la (x4)

I’ve got this energy
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
And it wants to be free from me
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
Yes I’m gonna let it go
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat) (x2)

I’ve got this energy
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
And it needs to be free from me
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat)
Yes I’m gonna let it go
(Move your hands, move your feet, move your body to the beat) (x2)

Move your body to the beat (x5)

(Guitar outro)

6. 'Please Excuse Me Thank You' with Alanis Morissette
These are the words we use everyday
Please excuse me thank you
Please, may I have some candy
Please, can I watch some TV

These are the words we use everyday
Please excuse me thank you
Please, can you roll down my window
Please, can I have some tomorrow

To say sorry is fine
Hey we can laugh and cry at the same time
So when its time for me to do
Remember magic words make dreams come true

These are the words we use everyday
Please excuse me thank you
Please, I would like some pizza
Please, may I have some ice cream

These are the words we use everyday
Please excuse me thank you
Please can I get a banjo—why?
Please

(Guitar solo)

These are the words we use every day
Please excuse me thank you
Please can I have that toy
Please lets live in joy

These are the words we use everyday
Please excuse me thank you
Please can I have a Madeline
Please its not my bedtime

To say thank you is nice
When I ask and get the things I like
And when its time for me to do
Remember magic words
Make my dreams come true

These are the words we use everyday
Please excuse me thank you
