Alex's Performance - Imagine a World

Here they had to imagine a world they'd want to visit in a time machine!

It was a giant production with all four 1st grade classes and we got to watch it in the brand new performing arts center of Plymouth North High School.

Norah & Daddy enjoying the show

Alex is top left - here they are watching another 1st grade class perform, but Alex sang his heart out even though it wasn't his turn ;)
Alex and his buddies Sebastian and Cameron after the show

Unfortunately I am having trouble adding the video of their song as it might be too big.  They sang On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons and they also played their home made instruments!  I have it recorded on both cameras so hopefully I can figure out how to add it or maybe I can email it.  Here's a youtube link to the song anyway....
"On Top Of The World" - LYRICS

If you love somebody
Better tell them while they're here 'cause
They may just run away from you

You'll never know what went well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you

I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but not til you prove it

Now take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
Been holding it in for a while, 'ay
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world.

I've tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something

I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for something

Now take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
Been holding it in for a while, 'ay
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world.

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
Been holding it in for a while, 'ay
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child

And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.

And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.
