Chang, the Elephant - by AB

[Intro]

[Verse]

In the land of smiles, where the sun shines bright,  
Elephants roam, such a majestic sight.  
Sacred and revered, in the hearts they stay,  
Symbol of strength in every Thai way.

[Verse]

Tourists come from far, to see these gentle giants,  
Learning their stories, forming strong alliance.  
In the temples, in the fields, they play a sacred role,  
Protecting them is Thailand's heartfelt goal.

[Solo]

[Chorus]

ช้าง ช้าง ช้าง ช้าง ช้าง  
น้องเคยเห็นช้างหรือเปล่า  
ช้างมันตัวโตไม่เบา  
จมูกยาวๆ เรียกว่างวง  
มีเขี้ยวใต้งวงเรียกว่างา  
มีหูมีตาหางยา

[Solo]

[Verse]

From ancient days to modern times,  
Elephants in stories, in songs and rhymes.  
They carry history on their backs, so grand,  
Guardians of this beautiful land.

[Solo]

[Outro]

So when you visit, respect and care,  
For these sacred elephants, always be aware.  
They're more than just a sight to see,  
They're a symbol of Thailand's heart and history.

[Solo]

[Outro]

So when you visit, respect and care,  
For these sacred elephants, always be aware.  
They're more than just a sight to see,  
They're a symbol of Thailand's heart and history

ไก่ย่าง ไก่ย่าง ไก่ย่าง  
อร่อยจริง ๆ  
ไก่ย่างห้าดาว  
อร่อยสะอาดถูกหลักอนามัย

[Verse]
In the schoolyard, I feel so low,   
Like a grilled chicken, everyone’s woe.  
Older sister’s critiques never end,  
But there's one boy, my shining friend.

[Pre-Chorus]
No matter what I do, it’s always wrong,  
But his gentle voice is my sweet song.  
He feels the pain, like bees that sting,  
Yet in his eyes, I see hope spring.

[Chorus, [traditional]]

[Verse]
I know he feels, like I do too,  
Like a grilled chicken, through and through.  
A thousand bees sting him every day,  
But my love keeps his pain at bay.

[Pre-Chorus]
Together we stand, through thick and thin,  
With each other’s love, we always win.  
A single bee, my saving grace,  
In his trust, I find my place.

Life’s a grill, it’s hot and tough,  
But with him, it’s not so rough.  
We laugh, we cry, we share our woes,  
In his arms, my love grows.

So here I am, grilled but strong,  
With his love, I belong.  
Through the stings and heat, we’ll always be,  
Each other’s light, forever free.

So here I am, grilled but strong,  
With his love, I belong.

Title: Take It Easy and Relax
(by Andi Becker and Worship House One United )

To everyone who is tired…
to every heart that’s heavy…
there is a voice that still whispers:
“Come to Me, and I will give you rest.”

Tonight, we lay down our worries.
We let go of tomorrow and its questions.
We bring every fear, every restless thought,
into the hands that never fail.
The Shepherd leads us to green pastures,
to quiet waters,
He restores our souls.
So breathe in His peace…
breathe out your fear…
In quietness and trust,
He gives you strength.

Tonight…
just take it easy…
and rest in His love.

I walked with stones inside my coat,
each one carved with someone else’s hope.
My shoulders bent beneath the weight
of promises I couldn’t keep straight.
But then a hush fell through the trees—
a breath that stilled the rustling leaves.

No need to prove, no race to run,
the morning waits for everyone.

Take it easy… take it easy now…
Lay your burden gently down.
Take it easy… let the current flow…
You don’t have to carry what He already knows!

The path ahead once seemed so steep,
each step a vow I couldn’t keep.
But now I see the water clear,
reflecting skies I used to fear.
My trembling hands release the rope—
no longer grasping, just held close.

No need to fight, no need to plead,
His quiet grace is all I need.

Take it easy… take it easy now…
Lay your burden gently down.
Take it easy… let the current flow…
You don’t have to carry what He already knows!

When the night pulls tight its veil,
and every answer starts to fail—
there’s a hand that holds the tide,
and calls my name without a why.

Take it easy… take it easy now…
Lay your burden gently down.
Take it easy… let the current flow…
You don’t have to carry what He already knows!

When tomorrow comes,
you don’t walk alone.
His presence goes with you,
and He Himself gives you rest.
So, my soul…
return to your rest.
The Lord has been good to you.
Don’t be anxious about anything,
but in every moment,
with prayer, with thanks,
place your heart in His hands.
And His peace,
beyond all understanding,
will guard your heart and mind.

Take it easy…
take it easy…
rest in His love…

Breathe…
be still…
and know that He is God.


Take It Easy and Relax

Phone Down, Look Up
(Andi Becker &​ Worship​ House One​ United)​

Since you were three, we held your tiny hand,
Now you’re fourteen, a tall young man.
Today’s your day, your birthday sun,
But your eyes are on the screen, and the breakfast table’s empty, one by one.

Fourteen candles waiting, chairs around the table,
We saved a place for you, as soon as we were able.
Hot tea getting colder, toast begins to dry,
Your phone keeps on glowing, but you don’t reply.

We’re not your enemies, we’re the ones who stayed,
When your world was shaking, we were not afraid.
You hear a thousand voices from a glowing frame,
But none of them were with you when the storm and sickness came.

Tawan, phone down, look up, this is your one life,
Game can wait, love can’t pause, don’t skip your real time.
We are the hearts that held you when you cried at night,
Phone down, look up, step into the light.

(Phone down, look up, this is your one life… 2x)

You’ve got a bass in your hands, it can shake the room,
Make the windows tremble, make the grey hearts bloom.
But your fingers tap a screen ‘til the morning light,
While the ones who truly love you vanish from your sight.

Those names on your phone never walked you home,
Never cooked your dinner, never fixed your broken tone.
When your world was heavy, when you needed a friend,
We were there beside you, we will stay to the end.

Tawan, phone down, look up, this is your one life,
Game can wait, love can’t pause, don’t skip your real time.
We are the hearts that held you when you cried at night,
Phone down, look up, step into the light.

(Phone down, look up, this is your one life… 2x)

We don’t want to steal your joy,
We just want our birthday boy.
Level up in real life too,
There’s a world out here for you.

Basslines waiting, songs to write,
Laughter in the morning light.
If you lose the ones who care,
All your highs will fade to air.

Tawan, phone down, look up, this is your one life,
Game can wait, love can’t pause, don’t skip your real time.

Phone down, look up, this is your one life,
(Phone down, look up, this is your one life…)




Phone down, look up, this is your one life,
Game can wait, love’s right here tonight.

Phone down, look up, this is your one life,
Game can wait, love’s right here tonight.

[Final builds – ad-libs over choir]
Ohhh, phone down, look up, Tawan, this is your one life,
Game can wait, love’s right here tonight.

[Last line – everything drops, just voice + soft bass]
Phone down, look up… this is your one life.

Phone Down, Look Up

Title: Island of Three Tongues
(Andreas "Andi" Becker, ABSound Orchester & Choir & Soloists)

Salt on the wind, a whisper from Java
Junks and dhows carve the Andaman blue
Pearl-white shores where Malacca currents meet
And the island breathes its first true name

PHUKET RISES FROM THE TIDE!
Stone and silk in one heartbeat wide!
Mountains bow to ocean’s call—
This is where all journeys fall… and rise again!

ภูเก็ตเอย ฟังเสียงคลื่นซัดฝั่ง
เรือจีนแล่นผ่าน สายลมรำพัน
แร่ดีบุกหลอม ไฟคืนวาน
คนสามแผ่นดิน ยืนเคียงกัน

|[ Phuket, listen to the waves crashing against the shore.
A Chinese ship sails by, the wind whispers.
Smelted tin ore, fires of yesterday.
People from three lands stand together. ]|

海风翻过山脊
锡矿映着月光
闽粤的帆影
停泊在槟榔湾旁

|[ The sea breeze sweeps over the mountain ridges; 
the tin mine reflects the moonlight; 
sails from Fujian and Guangdong are moored beside Penang Bay. ]|

PHUKET RISES FROM THE TIDE! (ภูเก็ตลุกจากคลื่น!)
|[ Phuket rises from the waves! ]|
石与绸 编织千年光! (หยกและไหม ทอเป็นหนึ่งเดียว!)
|[ Stone and silk weave a thousand years of light! Jade and silk, woven as one! ]|
Mountains bow to ocean’s call—
This is where all journeys fall… and rise again!

Monsoons came. The earth cracked open.
But hands reached—not to flee, but to rebuild.
From tin dust, temples. From loss, lanterns.
One island. Three tongues. One soul.

PHUKET RISES FROM THE TIDE! (ภูเก็ตไม่เคยจม!)
|[ Phuket has never sunk! ]|
石破天惊 是她的回响! (เสียงระฆังดังถึงสวรรค์!)
|[ A thunderous revelation—that was her echo! The sound of the bell reaches heaven! ]|
Mountains bow to ocean’s call—
This is where all journeys fall… and rise again!

Phuket…
ภูเก็ต…
普吉…

This great traditional Song from the Andes has been performed by Juan Harvy Rodriguez (singer and guitar) and Andi Becker (Guitar)

Ojos azules no llores
No llores ni te enamores (x2)

No han pasado dos, tres dias
Tu te alejas y me dejas (x2)

En una copa de vino
Quisiera tomar veneno (x2)

Veneno para matarme
Veneno para olvidarte (x2)

Ojos azules no llores
No llores ni te enamores (x2)

Maniana cuando me vaya
Cuando remedio ya no haya (x2)

Ojos azules no llores
No llores ni te enamores (x2)

Maniana cuando me vaya
Cuando remedio ya no haya (x2)

...

Ojos azules no llores
No llores ni te enamores (x2)

Maniana cuando me vaya
Cuando remedio ya no haya (x2)

Cover of (Roberto Carlos - Amigo)

Tú eres mi hermano del alma, realmente el amigo 
Que en todo camino y jornada está siempre conmigo. 
Aunque eres un hombre, aún tienes el alma de un niño, 
Aquel que me da su amistad, su respeto y cariño. 

Recuerdo que juntos pasamos muy duros momentos, 
Y tú no cambiaste por fuertes que fueran los vientos. 
Es tu corazón una casa de puertas abiertas, 
Tú eres realmente el más cierto en horas inciertas. 

No preciso ni decir todo esto que te digo, 
Pero es bueno así sentir que yo tengo un gran amigo. (2x)

...

En ciertos momentos difíciles que hay en la vida 
Buscamos a quien nos ayude a encontrar la salida, 
Y aquella palabra de fuerza y de fe que me has dado 
Me da la certeza que siempre estuviste a mi lado. 

No preciso ni decir todo esto que te digo, 
Pero es bueno así sentir que yo tengo un gran amigo. (3x)

---

You are my soul brother, really the friend
That way all day and is always with me.
Although you're a man, you still have the soul of a child,
One who gives me their friendship, their respect and affection.

I remember that together had a hard time,
And you did not change however strong the winds were.
Is your heart open house,
You are really the more true in uncertain hours.

Neither necessary nor say all this that I say,
But it's good and feel that I have a great friend. (2x)

...

In some difficult moments in life
Who we seek to help us find the way out,
And that word of strength and faith you have given me
I have the certainty that you were always at my side.

Neither necessary nor say all this that I say,
But it's good and feel that I have a great friend. (3x)

Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 + 12:1-8 New International Version (NIV)
Lyrics by King Solomon (970 to 931 BCE)
Music by Andreas Becker (AndiBecker) (1998 AD)

acoustic version only with guitar, recorded on headphones actually as a microphone was not available but a microphone plug was available, so we functioned the headphone to be our microphones one for the guitar and the other for the singing. Unfortunately, my Lyricist was no more able to sing the song by himself so I had to do that too ;-).

You can find the lyrics here:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+11&version=NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+12&version=NIV

We have also 2 arrangements but unfortunately none which is bringing both together.
