about
“Fill the World with Music” is a song that was inspired by a competition from The Coalition for Music Education (musicmakesus.ca), that questioned why music is important in our education system.
The song is a celebration of the cherished memories that many students have with music at school, and how we carry these memories, and melodies with us for the rest of our lives.
created by the One World Youth Arts Project, Toronto, Canada
One World is a student-driven program in the TDSB that fuses the art of music creation with the art and science of music recording technology.
This course develops students’ artistic knowledge and skills through the creation of music and the preparation of music productions. Social Justice, Equity and Character Development are the most important themes in One World. We sought out initiatives that use music to inspire change.
lyrics
I never wanted more
to listen closer your core
when we
fill the world with music
it sounds through the class
right out through door
we’ll fill the world with music
the sky is lookin’ tall
‘cause every note sends up a story
and every kid in the hall
has one to sing
to share their memory
like when they picked up a guitar
or slid on the trombone
when you put the steel in the pan
and you worked on your tone
and the teacher said
if we just listen to each other
we’ll have a band all our band
and we’ll fill the world with music
comon’ we’ll fill the world with music
and I think I’ll start a song
so that everyone can sing along
we’ll fill the world with music
Je pense que je vais commencer une chanson
Donc tout le monde peut chanter
Nous remplirons ce monde avec la musique
this sound is playing to the stars
with every voice it can grow
hey conductor, put down your batons
and let the rhythm explode
we’ll fill the world with music
we’ll fill the world with music
and I want to hear you from B.C., to P.E.I., and Ontario
we’ll fill our life with music
it’s wherever I go
from Saskatchewan to Newfoundland, Noonav oot to the Yukon
we’ll fill our dreams with music
for it’s the music that I long
To Manitoba and Alberta
Or Quebec to the Northwest
we’ll fill the world with music
no we won’t rest
we’ll fill the world
fill the world
fill the world
