As usual, the music is awesome! This time, a version of The Beatles' Golden Slumbers by the band Elbow. Here are the lyrics and the video.

[Verse 1]

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home

[Chorus]

Sleep, little darling, do not cry
I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep, little darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
And I will sing a lullaby

[Verse 2]

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home

[Chorus]
Sleep, little darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Dream It Possible - DELACEY

I will run, I will climb, I will soar
I'm undefeated oh oh
Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord
Yeah I believe it
The past is everything we were
don't make us who we are
So I'll dream, until I make it real
and all I see is stars
It's not until you fall that you fly
When your dreams come alive
you're unstoppable
Take a shot, chase the sun
find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark
turning dust to gold
And we'll dream it possible
Possible
And we'll dream it possible

I will chase, I will reach, I will fly
Until I'm breaking, until I'm breaking
Out of my cage, like a bird in the night
I know I'm changing, I know I'm changing in
into something big
better than before
And if it takes, takes a thousand lives
then it's worth fighting for
It's not until you fall that you fly
When your dreams come alive
you're unstoppable
Take a shot, chase the sun
find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark
turning dust to gold
And we'll dream it possible
Possible
From the bottom to the top
We're sparking wild fire's
Never quit and never stop
The rest of our lives
From the bottom to the top
We're sparking wild fire's
Never quit and never stop
It's not until you fall that you fly
When your dreams come alive
you're unstoppable
Take a shot, chase the sun
find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark
turning dust to gold
And we'll dream it possible
Possible
And we'll dream it possible
