The Council Song

As Councillors we stand
For the common goal of Victoria
An offering that we make for her
In this family,
There's a common goal
For tomorrow of Victoria
Meeting everyone's needs
And learning altogether


Chorus
Come put your hearts
And souls together
For this battle must be won
Battle must be won(Let this fire burn in our hearts)
We'll win the final victory
And so much more
To show that Victoria
Is something more


No mountains too tall
No roads too narrow
Nothing can stop us on our way
All these memories shall linger
In our minds when we part
And the spirit that's in our hearts
Will never, never will fade



thank you 24ths.

Music and Lyrics by Jasmine Choe, Michelle Lee and Kevin Tay

Every time I look at you

I see a different kind of me

How I wish I could be you

Everything that mattered most to me

You have it all

And why can't I have the same

Every time I look at you 

I see a heart so true

How I wish the world could see

All this time you've always dreamed

Of something more

But you've missed all that is you

You could be greater, don't have to try harder

You could be all you're meant to be

All this time I though I knew

I thought I had it all

Now it all seems unclear

There is no shadow but your own

That hides, the beauty found in you

I could be greater, don't have to try harder

Just got to be all I'm meant to be

I know,

I'm worth more that what they see in me

I can be free to be

I thought I'd found my answer in you

Now I know the truth, but

Can all I have be just another lie?

How can all that glitter not be gold?

When you've found the whisper in the wind

It doesn't matter where you've been

Now, 

I'm worth more than what they see in me

I know I'm free to be

And now I've found my answer in You

I know the truth

Let me be (un)found in You

You Were Made For This
by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world right now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.

You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.

I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind. Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.

In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails. We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater?

Didn't you ask for grace? Don't you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the voice greater?Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these—to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.

There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate. The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours. They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here.

In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.

truly an evening to remember.

i believe it has been a long journey to have made it thus far. and settling for second best isn't always the best of feelings. so close, yet so far. but a Gold with Honours still reflects the standard of TK Band till this present moment.

thanks to all band members - past and present.

you truly make TK Band a class of its own by defining excellence.
