Hi Ladies!

There will be a small gift/Rak prize each month which will be picked Randomly (So everyone that enters my challenge has the same opportunity to win) however I must have atleast 8 entries to win the prize. If I do not get 8 entries the prize will
jackpot to the next challenge :)
You must use a word....OR a couple of words...OR a sentence OR even the song title on your page. This is a free scrap so any theme goes :)
Now!! let me introduce you to a Great Australian Artist
John Farnham
John Peter Farnham,
AO, formerly billed as
Johnny Farnham (born 1 July 1949), is an English-born Australian pop singer. He was a
teen pop idol from 1964 to 1979, and has since forged a career as an
adult contemporary singer.
[1][2] His career has mostly been as a solo artist but he replaced
Glenn Shorrock as lead singer of
Little River Band during 1982–1985.
[3][4][5] In September 1986 his solo single, "
You're the Voice" peaked at No. 1 on the
Australian singles charts.
[6][7] The associated album,
Whispering Jack, held the No. 1 position for a total of 25 weeks,
[6][7] and is the highest-selling album in Australian history.
[8] Both the single and the album had Top Ten success internationally including No. 1 in Sweden.
[9][10]
Domestically he has remained one of Australia's best-known performers with a career spanning over 40 years,
[1] and he is the only Australian artist to have a number one record in five consecutive decades (echoing Sir
Cliff Richard in the UK) with singles: "
Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)" in 1967, "
Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" in 1969/1970, and "Age of Reason" in 1988;
[6][7] and albums:
Age of Reason,
Chain Reaction in 1990,
Then Again... in 1993,
Anthology 1: Greatest Hits 1986-1997 in 1997,
33⅓ in 2000 and
The Last Time in 2002.
[6][7][11]
Farnham has been recognised by honours and awards including 1987
Australian of the Year, 1996 Order of Australia, and 19
Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)
Awards including his 2003 induction into the
Hall of Fame.
[11][12][13][14] From 1969 he was voted by
TV Week readers as the '
King of Pop' for five consecutive years.
[15][16][17][18] Aside from his recording career, Farnham performed on stage with lead roles in Australian productions of
Charlie Girl,
Pippin and 1992's
Jesus Christ Superstar.
[1][18] He starred in his own TV series and specials including
It's Magic and
Bobby Dazzler and as a guest on numerous other popular shows such as
Countdown and
Hey Hey It's Saturday.
[1][19][20] Australian rock historian,
Ian McFarlane described him as "the most successful solo artist in the history of Australian rock and pop [...] Farnham has retained an affable sense of humour and a simple, unpretentious 'everyman' charm which also makes him one of the most respected celebrities in Australian entertainment history."

Here are the Lyrics to.........
You must use a word....OR a couple of words...OR a sentence OR even the song title on your page. This is a free scrap so any theme goes :)
'You're the Voice'
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son, oh
Give a look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
