2nd Grade

2nd Graders continue building on music literacy concepts, music vocabulary, singing melodies and call and response songs, composing rhythms, and performance protocol. Students also start learning the beginnings of harmony. Students will also work together as an ensemble to create music through instruments such as boomwhackers, recorders, and violins.

Here are the vocal pieces that 2nd Graders are working on:

Rockstar by A Great Big World

There’s a girl in the backyard bangin’ on her drum
Sittin’ in a junk pile laughing at the sun
Singin’, “Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar.”

There’s a boy in the backseat singin’ to the song
Playin’ on the radio, knowing he’s the one
Singin’, “Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar.”

Singin’, “ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!”

There’s a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
Waiting for a touchdown comin’ in from Mars
Thinkin’, “Is there anybody out there?”

There’s a boy thinking of her playin’ his guitar
Searching for the answer buried in his heart
Thinkin’, “Ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there?”

Singin’, “Ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there?”

If there’s a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin’ and I wanna know why

And we’re all getting older wishin’ we were young
Hangin’ on the memory of what we would become
Singin’, “Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar.”

Singin’, “Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar.”
Singin’, “Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!”

If there’s a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin’ and I wanna know why

And maybe we will never figure it out
I got a feelin’ that’s what life’s all about
I’m learning anything is possible now

Take a ticket and get off the line [8x]
Singing, “Ah ha ha I just wanna be a rockstar.” [4x]

Flashlight by Jessie J

Feeling frightened of
The things that I don’t know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

1st Verse
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch

Bridge
You wanna show the world but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient
impatient
Waiting
Waiting

1st Chorus
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Way up to the sky way up to the sky
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

2nd Chorus
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly

Find the reasons why

Hook
When you can’t wait any longer

Lift Every Voice

Lift every voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

Rather Be (by Clean Bandit)

1st Verse
We’re a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there’s no place I’d rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat

Pre-Chorus
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We’re different and the same, get you another name
Switch up the batteries

Chorus
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shake me
When I am with you, there’s no place I’d rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I’d rather be [3x]

2nd Verse
We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing’s incomplete
It’s easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we’re together, there’s no place I’d rather be

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

“Freedom” (Lyrics rewritten by Ms. Alice)

1st Verse
Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder
Tell the storm I’m new
I’ma walk, I’ma march on the regular
Painting white flags blue
Please forgive me, I’ve been running
Running blind in truth
I’ma rain, I’ma rain on this bitter love
Tell the sweet I’m new

Bridge
I’m telling these tears, “Go and fall away, fall away”
May the last one burn into flames

Chorus
Freedom! Freedom! I can’t move
Freedom, cut me loose!
Freedom! Freedom! Where are you?
Cause I need freedom too!
I break chains all by myself
Won’t let my freedom rot away
Hey! I’ma keep running
Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves

2nd Verse
I’ma wade, I’ma wave through the waters
Tell the tide, “Don’t move”
I’ma riot, I’ma riot through your borders
Call me bulletproof
Please forgive me, I’ve been runnin’
Runnin’ blind in truth
I’ma wade, I’ma wave through your shallow love
Tell the deep I’m new

Bridge
I’m telling these tears, “Go and fall away, fall away”
May the last one burn into flames

Rap
Everyday, I meditate for practice
Channel 9 news tell me I’m movin’ backwards
Eight blocks left, death is around the corner
Seven misleadin’ statements ’bout my persona
Six headlights wavin’ in my direction
Five-O askin’ me what’s in my possession
Yeah, I keep runnin’, jump in the aqueducts
Fire hydrants and hazardous
Smoke alarms on the back of us
But mama, don’t cry for me, ride for me
Try for me, live for me
Breathe for me, sing for me
Honestly guidin’ me
I could be more than I gotta be
Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy
Code on me, drive on me
Wicked, my spirit inspired me
Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert
Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression
Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs
And when they carve my name inside the concrete
I hope it forever reads

“Powerful” (from Empire)

1st Verse
People been talking about it
We won’t just stand here in silence
Can’t stop the fire from rising rising, Ooh, ooh

And Malcolm’s probably turning in his grave

Where skin don’t define any human
And stars are the only thing shooting
Shooting, Ooh, ooh

Mothers who bury their child
How can we sit there and hide
Change comes when all take a stand now
Stand up, Stand up

2nd Bridge
Martin’s speech still echoes in my brain
Every shade was beautifully made

Powerful, A breath away from victory
I matter, you matter, we matter all
I matter, you matter, we matter all
Powerful, Powerful

You can say anything you wanna say
Hate me, but I’m gonna love you anyway
If you didn’t have a wall to hide behind
Bet you fell to pieces when your eyes met mine

Every time you find another stone to throw
I will pick it up and start to build a wall
Keep up your attack
Because with every blow
You are only adding to my castle

You can knock me down, but I’ll get up again
Cause I’m stronger than your bruises, I got thick skin

Voices – As written by The Shanghai Restoration Project

There are songs we sing in silence
There are words we choose to hide
In our faces no emotion
With our fists clenched by our side
We let it burn
Under our skin

We’re so cool and in control
Don’t take comfort in this quiet
Because something might explode
Just take the chance
Don’t miss your turn

Hear your voice out loud, your voice out loud, just sing out loud

But the stories that are told
Lift off the seal
That covers your lips

Hear your voice out loud, your voice out loud, just sing out loud

Let it reach across the sky
Hear it ring, watch it soar

You have a choice

Unbreakable

1st Verse
There’s always gonna be someone tryna tear you down
Mocking you for your mistakes, oh
There’s always gonna be someone
Messing your head around
Watching you to see you break, so

1st Pre-Chorus
Don’t you let em call you out
Brush away the shame and doubt
Remember what you’re all about and then

1st Chorus
Show ’em who you are, Show ’em that you’re strong
Show ’em that you know where you belong
Open up their eyes, force ’em all to see
Let ’em know you are and you’ll always be
Unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable, unbreakable, yeah

2nd Verse
There’s always gonna be someone saying you’re something less, Let ’em talk, you know your heart, oh
There’s always gonna be someone calling you second best
Shut ’em down, don’t fall apart, no

2nd Pre-Chorus
Don’t you let ’em in your head
Doesn’t matter what they said
Get up on your feet instead, and then

2nd Chorus
Show ’em who you are, Show ’em that you’re strong
Show ’em they’ve been seeing you all wrong
Open up their minds, throw away the key
Tell ’em that you are and you’ll always be
Unbreakable, unbreakable, yeah

Hook
You define yourself, oh, hey, yeah
You and no one else

Final Chorus
Show ’em who you are, Show ’em that you’re strong
Show them that you’ve known it all along
Open every door, own your destiny
Live as if you are what you were
And you’ve been and you’ll always be
Unbreakable, unbreakable, Unbreakable, unbreakable
Unbreakable
