    Stand By Me
    Ben E. King

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Chorus
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh won't you stand now?
Stand by me

In Whenever you’re in trouble(…), the highlighted word, in Portuguese, means

In this life

 

Sitting on a park bench

Thinking about a friend of mine

He was only twenty-three

Gone before he had his time.

It came without a warning

Didn't want his friends to see him cry

He knew the day was dawning

And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye. .

MADONNA. Erotica. Estados Unidos: Maverick, 1992.

TEXT

    Thunder - Imagine Dragons

Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind
[5] Not a yes-sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder

 

Chorus
Thunder, feel the thunder
[10] Lightning and the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning and the thunder
Thunder, thunder
Thunder

 

[15] Kids were laughing in my classes
While I was scheming for the masses
Who do you think you are?
Dreaming 'bout being a big star
You say you're basic, you say you're easy
[20] You're always riding in the back seat
Now I'm smiling from the stage
While you were clapping in the nose bleeds

 

(Repeat chorus)

I Want To Break Free

 

Queen
Compositor: John Deacon

 

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you

 

I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love,
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love.

 

It's strange but it's true, yeah
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby

Man in the mirror

Escrita por Siedah Garrett e Glen Ballard.

Gravada por Michael Jackson.

I’m gonna make a change, for once in my life

It’s gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference

Gonna make it right...

I’m starting with the man in the mirror

I’m asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change…

Tale as old as time 

True as it can be 

Barely even friends 

Then somebody bends 

Unexpectedly

 

Just a little change

Small, to say the least

Both a little scared

Neither one prepared

 

Beauty and the Beast 

 

Ever just the same 

Ever a surprise 

Ever as before 

Ever just as sure 

As the sun will rise 

 

Tale as old as time 

Tune as old as song 

Bittersweet and strange 

Finding you can change 

Learning you were wrong 

 

Certain as the sun (Certain as the sun) 

Rising in the east 

(Tale as old as time) 

Song as old as rhyme 

Beauty and the beast 

(Tale as old as time) 

Song as old as rhyme 

Beauty and the beast 

 

Oh, oh, whoa 

Ooh

Beauty and the beast
