“Αγαπα Με (Love Me)” by Anis Mirra

Bell rings it’s time for lunch
I see my friends together
Then I see, someone alone 
Someone I’ve never talked to
Should I go and say hello
I want to show I care
I know my friends are watching me
Wondering what I’ll do? 

I take a breath
I take a step 
It’s the right thing to do
This might be hard
But I’ve come this far
I know what it’s like to be you 

I heard they’re different 
I heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop me from trying 	
Differences are a source of strength
I know this is true 
I heard they’re different 
I heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop me from trying 	
Differences are a source of strength
I know this is true 

Next day I see my friends
They come to me and say 
We saw you sit with someone new 
What will you do today 
I wonder why these differences 
Make us feel afraid
If we search for truth ourselves
I wonder what we’ll do? 

We take a breath 
We take a step 
It’s the right thing to do
This might be hard
But we’ve come this far
We know what it’s like to be you 

We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true

“Prayer for the Departed” by The Hummingbirds

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone

Run into my room and slam the door
They don’t get me like they did before
Thinking hard lying on the floor
How to build peace when it feels like war
I do, my best, to see, the good in others 
I see, them all, as my, sisters and brothers
I want, them to, trust me, I know they love me
I want, to help, them see, we’re a community

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone 	x2

Walk into a room and it goes quiet 
Overheard a story that I confided
It’s one sided, I can’t fight it
I feel hurt, my friends are divided
I do, my best, to see, the good in others 
I see, them all, as my, sisters and brothers
I want, them to, trust me, I know they love me
I want, to help, them see, we’re a community

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone		x2

We will forgive cos we know that we’re guided
We want to live in a world that’s united
We turn to prayer cos it makes us hopeful
We feel the love for everyone, cos we know we’re created noble

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 

I know I’m not alone		x2

I do, my best, to see, the good in others. 
I see, them all, as my, sisters and brothers
I want, them to, trust me, I know they love me
I want, to help, them see, we’re a community)

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home		x2
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone

Full Of Hope
