hallelujah-RhaPSody in C major

I was sitting at joyfull tonight when they played a tune of a hymn we used to sing in school. 'Make me a channel of your peace', beautiful lyrics. Brought back a flood of memories from what seems like long ago. Our dreaded, looong morning assemblies with bible reading and countless hymns praising the Lord! That nun..Sr. Jane I think, with her stubbed, nail less toe! ewww..and how us girls used to giggle at the slighest hint of anything being possibly far away from funny a.k.a at anything and everything to while away time at that assembly. The pointless thought for the day quotes like "as the chinese proverb says, what goes up must come down!" -like fucking hell it has to come down bitch.whr the hell will it disappear?? up ur fat ass maybe. thanks for that. it was QUITE a thought for MY day. will think about it all fucking day long!-

Insert: "I will not indulge in blasphamy! Forgive me father for I have sinned!"

Anyway, talking of some good songs...thought of another beautiful one we had learned back in school. About 12 of us had done a choreograped dance on it!! Yes ,we danced to the beats (or lack there of) of a hymn!! That day in summer...was quite something actually! We drew the curtains in the auditorium and made it dark before the assembly started and about 2000 girls came marching in...hurriedly enjoying their last few moments of bliss on chewing gum before spitting it out, unfolding skirts to proper length and tieing up hair into that neat crappy school hairdo. The teachers had no clue what was happening but we said it was for our "thought for the day". There was a never before excited humm in that audi(except for when the finnish spiritual rock band performed) and then.... we entered the stage. With candles...dressed in all black, dark denim and t- shirts...with a few ugly variations here n there. Like a girl who had a black tee which read in bold red "NO FEAR". Never mind that...the point was to do our carefully choreographed slow dance with candles and sit and form a cross in the end, so that what was seen were just flames shaping the holy cross. I almost burnt the hair of a girl in front of me!! But we were applauded! We were cheered for. We were the little ratpack of saintly heroes that saved the day.Well... atleast the morning assembly. AND we had a message of hope to impart while at it. In short, we kicked ass/pussy in the convent! aah good old days.
Heres the song below: If u take time to read it..its got good lyrics. * have inserted our choreography as well. Note: Safe to perform at home*

Verse 1-There is a candle in every soul ( enter and slow walk with candle in hand)
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold ( hide flame here with free hand)
There is a Spirit who brings fire ( make spirit fingers)
Ignites a candle and makes His home (hold out candle in front)

Chorus-Carry your candle, run to the darkness (lift candle in air with both hands)
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn ( move free hand in one sweeping motion downward, palm up, subtly pointing at the Nuns)
Hold out your candle for all to see it ( hold candle with both hands again)
Take your candle, and go light your way

Verse 2-Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to (enter: a girl dresed as a thug)
Light his own candle some other way (shake head as if in deep sorrow and pity, keep a straight face while trying to supress bouts of giggles)
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to (enter: a girl looking sad but actually happy to be baring some skin with ripped clothes)
Still holds a candle without a flame

Chrous

V3-We are a family whose hearts are blazing ( troupe comes together while preparing for the final cross scene)
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky ( forget the sky..this is where I almost burnt a girl's hair!)
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times

Repeat Chorus till fade. (form the cross finale, enjoy the silence bfo the applaud, then enjoy the applaud, exit stage. BLOW OUT CANDLE)
