No One Cares

No one cares what you think,
What you feel, if you’ll sink
Or you’ll swim, what’s your deal
What you’re interested in,
About her, about him
About them, about this
If you’ll hit or you’ll miss
No one cares if you quit
No one cares enough
{Chorus}
No one cares around here
No one cares at all
No one cares about anything [*sing to here on the third chorus]
In Teesdale
No one cares in Teesdale
If we fail or succeed
If we word or we don’t
If we get what we need
I don’t care if you do
Or you don’t. Why should you?
Why should I even try?
I do not have a clue
No one cares enough
{Chorus, Bridge, Chorus x 2*}
End.

There are strangers in this land
They won’t survive if we don’t give them a hand
We’ve learned the secret to success
Treat this place and each other with respect
{Chorus}
We cross the desert of respect, the desert of respect
The desert of respect, we cross the desert
We cross the desert of respect, so show us our respect
Show us our respect, we cross the desert
We always try to be prepared
Live in the moment, but think about what lies ahead
We listen to our teachers and elders
We’re trying to do what’s best for ourselves because
{Chorus x 4}
End.

Sometimes life here is pretty easy
We just go with the flow
But if a drought comes, we know the outcome
It means we’ve got a lot of work to do.
We have to pick up our boat, move it to the side
And find another way to travel for a while.
Even though when the river’s low we feel the same
We have to rise up and recognise it will too one day
{Chorus}
Living on the rivers of resilience
They’re challenges to deal with everyday
Listen everybody can you feel this
We’ve got to work it out and you will find your way
Other times our trouble is the opposite
Too much rain brings the pain of flood
The water moves to fast for us to handle it
But we have to try our best because
If we don’t stay afloat things will only get worse
So we ride it out, just like we rehearsed
And when the danger’s past we bounce right back
And rebuild to get this houseboat back on track
{Chorus}
What if the river’s filled with rubbish? We clean it up and be more careful with our waste
What if the river’s run out of fish? We plan ahead to avoid that fate
Resilience is not just recovering from mishaps it’s knowing how to face your challenges now
And not leaving things to get worse for the future. We’re telling it to you!
{Chorus} End.

{Chorus}
If you have somewhere to go
Don’t go there alone
If you have some friends with you
You’re always at home!
We built a Friendship
Our Friendship is strong
In this Friendship
We know that we belong +
We sail our Friendship
Over the blue sea
Join the Friendship
With all my friends and me
You’re in our Friendship
You’re part of the crew
On the Friendship
The ocean waves to you!
Hooray up she rises, hooray up she rises
Hooray up she rises early in the morning
On our friendship
Where everyone’s a friend
We all play together
And then sail home again
{Repeat}
The End.

{Chorus}
On the Islands of Excellence
We’re all striving for excellence
You’ve arrived on Excellence
So look alive in excellence
Kicking goals is excellent
Horse riding is excellent
Surfing waves is excellent
Music class is excellent
In excellence, it’s where we live
It’s who we are, it’s how we give
Our best efforts in all we do
It’s excellent to sing with you, yes
{Chorus}
Doing math is excellence
Making friends is excellent
Netball games are excellent
Sleeping in is excellent
{Chorus}
And if we’re trying to excel
Even when we fail we’ve still done well
Since trying’s the important first step
On the journey to be your best self
{Chorus x 2} End.

Live with Honesty
03:01
|
|||
|
Like these hills that we climb
Honesty is our life
We get up and get going
But the truth is that
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
We come from the land of the ice and snow
So we know although we try
It’s hard to be sure what’s right
Honesty can take time
But it’s worth the climb
{Chorus}
Like this mountain range
Life has ups and downs
But the truth remains
And it can be found
Listen to your hart
You can hear it clearly
Live with Honesty
{Bridge}
We come from the land of the ice and snow x 4
{Chorus x 2}
End.

We've All Come Together

Hooray for Teesdale, we didn’t fail
On our quest to find the values, no we prevailed
So respect, not for success but for trying
Thanks to resilience you know we survived
And built this friendship by showing support
Aiming for excellence takes a lot of effort
But it’s worth it, that’s why we call them values
And honestly, our honesty matters
{Chorus}
We’ve all come together x 4
So let’s hear it for us – we’ve all come together
We’ll trust each other whatever the weather
And whenever we need a hand we know who to call
Anyone in Teesdale - all for one, one for all
Like musketeers our word is our bond
We’ve built a community and it’s where we belong
So we’ll say it again - hooray, what a day
Hooray for Teesdale, let the music play!
{Chorus x2, break and Chorus x2}
End.
