#7 I’ll Be There (Jackson 5) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I’ll be there (I’ll be there)🪄
I’ll reach out my hand to you
I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I’ll be there (I’ll be there)🪄
And oh, I’ll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong
I’ll be your strength
I’ll keep holdin’ on (holdin’ on)
Yes I will, yes I will🪄
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, girl, is all I’m after

#6 Ain’t No Mountain High Enough (Diana Ross) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend and never worry🪄
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Nor winter’s cold
Can stop me, babe
(Oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you’re my goal🪄
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go🪄
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You’ll always have me🪄
And if you should miss my lovin
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
(Say it again)
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
(Say it again)
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

#5 War (Edwin Starr) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, uhh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y’all
War, huh (good God)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me, oh🪄
War, I despise
‘Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mother’s eyes
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives🪄
I said, war, huh (good God, y’all)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, just say it again
War (whoa), huh (oh Lord)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me🪄
It ain’t nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) Friend only to The Undertaker
Oh, war it’s an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die? Oh🪄
War, huh (good God y’all)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War (uh-huh), huh (yeah, huh)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me🪄
It ain’t nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) It’s got one friend that’s The Undertaker
Oh, war, has shattered many a young man’s dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can’t give life
It can only take it away, oh🪄
War, huh (good God y’all)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again🪄
War (whoa), huh (oh Lord)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me🪄
It ain’t nothing but a heart breaker
(War) Friend only to The Undertaker, woo
Peace, love and understanding, tell me
Is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there’s got to be a better way, oh🪄
War, huh (God y’all)
What is it good for? You tell me (nothing)
Say it, say it, say it, say it🪄
War (good God), huh (now, huh)
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it (nothing)

#4 Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head (B.J. Thomas) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling🪄
So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn’t like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling🪄
But there’s one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won’t defeat me, it won’t be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me🪄
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s worrying me🪄
It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me🪄
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s worrying me

#3 American Woman (The Guess Who) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be🪄
Don’t come hangin’ ’round my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin’ old with you🪄
Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say🪄
American woman
Get away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be🪄
Don’t come knockin’ ’round my door
I don’t wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes🪄
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say🪄
American woman
I said, get away
American woman
Listen what I say🪄
Don’t come hangin’ ’round my door
Don’t want to see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes🪄
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say🪄
American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be🪄
I gotta go, I gotta get away
Babe, I gotta go, I wanna fly away
I’m gonna leave you, woman
I’m gonna leave you, woman
I’m gonna leave you, woman
I’m gonna leave you, woman🪄
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
(American woman) You’re no good for me and I’m no good for you
(American woman) I look you right straight in the eye
I tell you what I’m gonna do
(American woman) I’m gonna leave you woman, you know I gotta go
(American woman) I’m gonna leave you woman, I gotta go
(American woman) I gotta go
I gotta go, American woman
Yeah
