I am feeling very sad because my friend Ruth Merriman has died. Ruth was a wonderful woman who helped a lot of people when she was alive. Before she died she asked her friends to record a song she loved. She wanted to do this to raise money for the charity Jigsaw4U.

Ruths’s children also wanted to join in so they got their school, Hillcross Primary to record the chorus.

Here is the video.

I hope that you enjoy watching this.

Year 5 gave a stunning performance as part of Music is for Life” with Merton Music Foundation. You can take a look at photos here

I have asked them to share their thoughts on what taking part meant to them. Please read their comments below.

Someday Soon
By John Conibear

Clock ticking…
Someday soon, someday soon…
Someday soon change gonna come.
Someday soon, someday soon…
Someday soon, change gonna come.

How do I know it will be, it will be all right?
Who can say that it’s gonna be all right?

Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon, change gonna come.
My friends keep telling me, ‘Could be near’
They keep telling me, ‘Could be here’
Won’t someone tell me
Mercy, mercy me, just tell me what’s going on…

How do I know it will be, it will be all right? (Will it be all right?)
Who can say that it’s gonna be all right?
If not you, if not me, who will make it right? (Who will make it right?)
Up to you, up to me – gotta make it right…

Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon, change will be here.
If not you (If not you)
If not me (If not me)
Who will it be
Who will it be
Who’s gonna make it right?

All I know is someday soon
Change is gonna come.
Gotta hope, gotta pray
Something can be done.
If not you, if not me, who will make it right?
You and me, together we
Maybe, we can make it right.

Someday soon, someday soon…
