I need songs that are about challenging limits and breaking away to play for teachers on the 1st day back?

Question

I would like to make a CD to play for teachers at my school on our 1st day back. Our theme this year is "Challenging limits and breaking away". I hope someone can help!

Answer 1

Always have Hot for Teacher ready! lol;p!

Answer 2

Ain't no mountain high enough

What a wonderful world (the hawaiian version)

Life is  a highway

pump it up by elvis costello

Answer 3

Interesting theme.... What about "I hope you dance"?  I think it is by Leann Womak.  It's about recognizing the difficulties and wonders in life (I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, and when one door close I hope one door opens), and yet still enjoying it (I hope you dance).

Answer 4

Age of Aquarius - The 5th Dimension.

Answer 5

Music!  My favorite!  I use music for just about everything.  Here are some songs that might be helpful:

Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson

** Open Road - Bryan Adams

We're All in this Together - Ben Lee

New Soul - Yael Naim

Waiting on the World to Change - John Mayer

Say - John Mayer

How Far We've Come - Matchbox Twenty

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

Let's Get it Started - Black Eyed Peas (clean version)

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (a great version too, by Petra)

You Get What You Give - New Radicals

Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield

You Gotta Be - Desiree

Up! - Shania Twain

Perfect Day - Hoku

**If you pick only one, this is it!

I don't know the age group your school teaches (elem/mid/HS) but I would imagine most of these songs could appeal to any.

Good luck, and great idea to incorporate music!!
