No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail Can possess, conquer, my country's heart They rise to fail She is eternal Long before nations' lines were drawn When no flags flew, when no armies stood My land was born And you ask me why I love her Through wars, death, and despair She is the constant We who don't care And you wonder why I leave her But how? I cross over borders but I'm still there now How can I leave her? Where would I start? Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart My land's only borders lie around my heart |

I have often walked
down this street before But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before All at once I'm up several stories high knowing I'm on the street where you live People stop and stare they don't bother me cause theres no where else on earth that I would rather be Let the time go by I don't care if I can't be here on the street where you live (sax solo) People stop and stare they don't bother me cause theres no where else on earth that I would rather be Let the time go by I don't care if I can't be here on the street where you live |

What kind of fool am I?
who never fell in love it seems that im the only one that i've been thinking of what kind of man is this? an empty shell and empty cell in which a lonely heart must dwell what kind of clown am I? what do I know of life why can't I cast away the mask of play and life my life? why cant I fall in love? 'til i dont give a damn and maybe then i'll know what kind of fool I am! |

Some People
Some people can get a thrill Knitting sweaters and sitting still That's ok for some people who don't know they're alive! Some people can thrive and bloom Living life in the living room That's perfect for some people of one hundred and five! But I at least gotta try When I think of all the sights that I gotta see all the places I gotta play all the things that I gotta be come on papa what do ya say? Some people can be content playing bingo and paying rent That's peachy for some people For some humdrum people to be but some people ain't me! I had a dream a wonderful dream papa all about June and the Orphium Circuit gimme a chance I know I can work it! I had a dream just as real as it can be papa there I was in Mr. Orphium'soffice and he was saying to me Rose! get yourself some new orchestrations new routines and red velvet curtains get a feathered hat for the baby photographs in front of the theatre get an agent and a jigtime then you'll be hooked in the big time! oh what a dream a wonderful dream papa and all that I need is eighty-eight bucks Papa that's what he said Papa only eighty-eight bucks! Goodbye to blueberry pie good riddance to all the sources that I had to go to All the lodges I had to play All the shriners I said hello to Hey LA I'm comin' your way! Some people sit on their butts got the dream yeah but not the guts That's livin' for some people for some humdrum people I suppose Well they can stay and rot But not Rose! |

I'll Be Seeing You
Cathedral bells were tolling and our hearts hang low was it the spell of paris or the April dawn who knows if we shall meet again but when the morning chimes ring sweet again I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through In that small cafe The park across the way The children's carousel And The chestnut trees The wishing well And I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's bright and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you In that small cafe The park across the way The children's carousel And The chestnut trees The wishing well I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's bright and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you |

I wonder if when all is done
anyone heard my voice from the start we have no choice our journeys just begin I'll never know if i was right did i fight hard enough for when the battles grew to rough should i have given in but here i stand and swear to you i did the best that i could do i know my voice was just a whisper but someone may have heard there were nights the moon above me stirred and let me grab ahold my hands...have touched...the gold my hearts been driven by extremes light with dreams tight with fear but still god knows that i was here and i was so alive so now i lay the past to rest for in the end i did my best you have to live the life your given and never close your eyes you hold strong and stare into the sky and burn against the cold for any moment....you might find the gold and there was joy through it all and i am standing tall I know my voice was just a whisper but someone must have heard there were nights the moon above me stirred and let my life take hold i rode across that sky and once i touched the gold here in my own two hands... i once held....the gold |

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade! Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade? I'll march my band out I'll beat my drum And if I'm fanned out Your turn at bat, sir At least I didn't fake it! Hat, sir? I guess I didn't make it! But whether I'm a rose of sheer perfection A freckle on the nose of life's complexion A cinder on the shiny apple of its eye I gotta fly once I gotta try once Only can die once "Right, sir?" Ooh, love is juicy, juicy and you see I gotta have my bite, sir! Get ready for me, love 'cause I'm a "comer" I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade! I'm gonna live and live now Get what I want I know how One roll for the whole shebang One throw that bell will go clang Eye on the target and wham One shot, one gunshot, and bam! Hey world, here I am!!! I'll march my band out I'll beat my drum And if I'm fanned out Your turn at bat, sir At least I didn't fake it! Hat, sir? I guess I didn't make it! Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a "comer" I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer Nobody, no, nobody Is gonna rain on my parade!!! |

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question of pause To be willing to march Into hell for a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will be peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star! |

A new life
what i wouldnt give to have a new life one thing i have learned as i go through life nothing is for free along the way A new start thats the thing i need to give me new heart half a chance in life to find a new part just a simple roll that i can play A new hope something to convince me to renue hope A new day bright enough to help me find my way A new chance one that maybe has a touch of romance where can it be? the chance for me A new dream i have one i know that very few dream i would like to see that over-due dream even though it never may come true A new love though i know theres no such thing as true love even so, although i never knew love still i feel that one dream is my due A new world this one thing i want to ask of you world Once, before its time to say "Adue" world one sweet chance to prove the cinics wrong A new life more and more im sure as i go through life just to play the game and to persue life just to share its pleasures and belong thats what i've been here for all along each days a brand new life |

In a very unusual way, one time I needed you
In a very unusual way, you were my friend Maybe it lasted a day, maybe it lasted an hour But somehow it will never end In a very unusual way, I think I'm in love with you In a very unusual way, I want to cry Something inside me goes weak, something inside me surrenders And you're the reason why, you're the reason why Chorus: You don't know what you do to me Don't have a clue You can't tell what it's like to be me Looking at you It scares me so that I can hardly speak... In a very unusual way, I owe what I am to you Though at times it appears I wont stay, I never go Special to me in my life, since the first day that I met you How could I ever forget you, once you had touched my soul In a very unusual way... You made me whole |

Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha Destroyer of evil am I I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory Forever to conquer or die Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin All your dastardly doings are past For a holy endeavor is now to begin And virtue shall triumph at last! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha My destiny calls and I go And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward Oh with us so ever they blow With us so ever they blow Onward to Glory I go! |
