SONGS FOR ACT 1 .
If only
If only
If o-oanly
In this life
Where every day's the same
You lose your heart
And then you lose your name
You lose your name
(Other girl)
In this life
Where all is pain and dread
You lose your dream
Because all dreams are dead
All dreams are dead
(Both)
But they say there is one
Who spreads hope through the land
He speaks in a gentle tongue
That all can understand
That all can understand
If only
If only
If only
If onlyIf only
he would teach us,
So we could truly see
No good can ever reach us,
Until our minds are free!
Our minds are free!
If only we could
find him
Standing at our door
His logic would be blinding
And we'd have hope once more.
Have hope once more.
He's so ordinary
He's so plain
So why is it, sister, that we seek him out again?
He's no nobleman,
And he's no king
So why is it, sister, that we'd give him everything?
We'll follow him
for ever
To where we want to be
He'll nurture us along the way
And teach us to be free.
He laughs openly
And then he smiles
That's why, sister, we would follow him for miles.
He has a purpose
And he walks so proud
That's why, sister, we're crying love out loud
We'll follow him for miles
Across the unknown land
Led by the truth that's in his eyes
And the wisdom at his hand.
Reveal! Rejoice!
Receive!
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
If you try hard enough, then you will succeed
Seek within to overcome tyranny and greed.
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
You need no one
but yourself; in yourself believe
Life provides three wondrous acts: reveal, rejoice, receive.
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
Keep believing, neighbours, now is all the time you need
To wake up, to rejoice and thereby succeed!
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
Reveal! Rejoice! Receive!
Song, Is That It? (tune of If Only ) (C
)
Is that it?
We've waited all this time
And the only thing he brought for us
Was a fancy little rhyme
A fancy rhyme
Is that it?
He's the reason for the fuss?
He thinks he's really special
But he's just like one of us
Like one of us
Is that it?
I'd heard he was messiah
But nothing that he said tonight
Has set my soul on fire
My soul on fire.
If only
If only
If only
If only….if only
Song 4. Blackguard (D)
For years I have felt worthless
Instead of joy, I felt pain
My day's toil,
Was working the soil
For somebody else's gain
Chorus:
But now, now we are all reunited
We follow he
Who will help us to be
Earthling,
Earthling and free!
I used to feel
so helpless
Gelded and bound by my fear
I was blind
And feeble of mind
And torn away from those I loved dear
Chorus:
My family were
starving
While the nobles took our meat
We paid their toll
But they laughed as they stole
And we had nothing to eat!
Chorus:
Our baron was a
blackguard
He took our wives in the night
He had his way
And when night became day
He had them again out of spite
But now, now we
are all reunited
We follow he
Who will help us to be
Earthling,
Earthling and free!
When smoke rises
from the soil
Don't fear the wrath of God
It's just the action of the sun
Upon the fecund sod.
Don't fear the
beating you might get
If you believe you're free
Are you not as noble born
As the Elder tree?
CHORUS
Let yourself remember
The prophecies of yore
The way will be familiar
It's the way it was before.
Don't fear that
you are foolish
When you live in dreams
For that's the way it is revealed
That nothing's as it seems
In the opening
of the day
Fear not the daily grind
You'll smash the yoke of ignorance
And free your mind!
CHORUS
Soon we'll be fulfilling
The prophecies of yore
The way will be familiar
It's the way it was before.
Tell the people
who are waking
That the Mother Ship is nigh
There'll be no fear and quaking
When the Ship is in the sky
Just open your hearts,
And find the gold inside
Say farewell to toil
Let yourselves decide
Let yourselves decide
All Earthlings
rise
To their given size
For the Mother Ship is nigh.
Song: Sailing for Paradise (D)
Join me, chosen
Brethren
Sister brethren, too
We're setting sail for Paradise
Where everything is new
Where everything is new.
Our ship is waiting
for us
We'll go this very day
And we'll be proud to be the ones
Who showed everyone the way
Who showed everyone the way.
There's learning
for the asking
And chances by the score
Don't be afraid to look within
And ask yourself for more
Just ask yourself for more.
You make me feel
just like Jean-Luc
Just like Jean-Luc
Flying above the sky.
(Alien Chorus)
That's high
That's high
Ambassador of all my dreams
All my dreams
Climb onto my silver ship and make it so
(Alien Chorus)
It is so
It is so
You're in my arms as we engage
As we engage
I ask, "How Star Trek am I?"
(Alien Chorus)
We lie
We lie
Song: Teach us Sagittarian! (E)
Followers:
Reach us! Sagittarian
Teach us! Sagittarian
Help us to be who we may be
(Sag voice over)
"Join me, chosen Brethren
Sister brethren, too
We're setting sail for Paradise
Where everything is new
Where everything is new."
Sag:
Teach you? I could not reach you!
There, ahead do you not see
The path to all eternity?
You need no torch
To find the light.
Allow yourselves
To do what's right!
You are not blind
But will not see
The path to all eternity!
Followers:
Reach us! Sagittarian
Teach us! Sagittarian
Help us to be who we really are
This is important.
You must come with me now.
We have come all this way
Let the hoop of hope turn unrestrained
May the horned beast remain unchained
To howl his awesome, desperate howl-
Wake up all creatures, fur and fowl!
Hoop_________Hope
Horn_________Chained
Howl_________Howl
Wake________Fowl
For tonight is when we all join in
And find our long forgotten kin
With thorax, pincer, beak and fin
And state, 'We are all Earthling!'

(Followers)
(We are) Earthling!
Earthling!
Earthling!
(Sag), Blessed be
Follow me
I can show you things
That not even I have seen,
Introduce you to yourself,
Speak in a thousand tongues
And still say what I mean,
They have come!
They have come!
