Godspell
- By My Side
I'll put a pebble in my shoe, and watch me walk. I can walk and walk! I shall call the pebble Dare; Dare shall be carried. And when we both have had enough, I shall take him from my shoe, singing "Meet your new road!"
Les Miserables
- Little Fall of Rain
The rain that brings you here is heaven blessed. The skies begin to clear, and I'm at rest; a breath away from where you are. I've come home from so far. So don't you fret monsieur Marius, I don't feel any pain. A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now. You're here, that's all I need to know. You will keep me safe, and you will keep me close. And rain will make the flowers grow.
Sunset Boulevard
- Never Said Goodbye
I don't want to be alone, that's all in the past. This world's waited long enough. I've come home at last! And this time will be bigger - and brighter than we knew it. So watch me fly, we all know I can do it!
Michael Scott
- Needs
Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like being liked, I enjoy being liked, I have to be liked. But it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.
Chicago Library
- Color Theory
The ancient theory of color was that all colors were mixtures of darkness and light - black and white. Aristotle, for instance, held that dark crimson comes from the mixture of black with sunlight or firelight. It was Isaac Newton who first fully developed a theory of color based on a color wheel. Newton split white light into a spectrum by means of a prism and then wrapped the resulting spectrum around on itself to create the color wheel.
Avenue Q
- For Now
Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied. Everyone goes 'round a bit empty inside. Take a breath, look around, and swallow your pride; for now. Nothing lasts. Life goes on full of surprises. You'll be faced with problems of all shapes and sizes. You're going to have to make a few compromises; for now. But only for now. Don't stress, relax. Let life roll off your back. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now.
Into the Woods
- Giants in the Sky
So you scramble down and you look below, and the world you know begins to grow; the roof, the house, and your mother at the door - the roof, the house, and the world you never thought to explore. And you think of all of the things you've seen, and you wish that you could live in between. And you're back again, only different than before. After the sky!
Ballad of Jane Doe
- Cyclone
I've got no celebration, just this consolation. Time eats all his children in the end. A melody floats through the air. When silence falls does no one care? Another sad, forgotten tune; another song that no one knows. So that's how it goes. Just John and me forever, eternally Jane Doe.
Doin' What Comes Naturally
You don't have to know how to read or write when you're out with a fella in the pale moonlight. You don't have to look in a book to find what he thinks of the moon or what is on his mind. That comes naturally.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
- Roses of Succes
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success. For every big mistake you make, be grateful. That mistake you'll never make again. Every shiny dream that fails and dies, generates the steam for two more tries! There's magic in the wake of a fiasco. It gives you that chance to second guess. Then up from the ashes - up from the ashes - grow the roses of success.
Into the Woods
If you know what you want, then you go, and you find it, and you get it. And you give and you take, and you bid and you bargain, or you live to regret it. There are rights and wrongs and in-betweens. No one waits when fortune intervenes! Only two more tries, then we'll have our prize. When the end is in sight you'll realize if the end is right, it justifies the means.
