Whatever (Reasons to Believe in a Better World)


For the Feast of the Presentation of the Child Mary 2012, Tuesday the 20th, we all worked a famous song by Oasis, an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. This song talks about freedom: people are free to decide what to say and what to do.


These are the results of a study conducted by Coca-Cola in 2010 about the real situation of the world and isnspired by this song. 
There are reasons to believe in a better world...


I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want

I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like
If it's wrong or right it's alright

It always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see

How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus
And cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself
It don't cost much

Free to be whatever you
Whatever you say
If it comes my way it's alright (x2)

You're free to be wherever you
Wherever you please
You can shoot the breeze if you want

Whatever you say
If it comes my way it's alright



Here you can see Oasis performing the original song:

  

Don't Worry, Be Happy

For the Feast of the Presentation of the Child Mary 2011, Monday the 21rst, we all listened and sang a famous song by Bobby McFerrin: Don't Worry, Be Happy.



Here you have the video-clip of this song and its lyrics. At the end of the post you can also find a link to an on-line exercise about this song.




Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy

In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy now
Oo, oo

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy

The land-lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy

Look at me, I'm happy

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy

'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy now
