Is this real life?
Is this real life?

Heartbeats
Of your children
Asleep in the next room
Trust so still
Can you hear it?
What more can you want?

Is this real life?
Is this real life?

MICHAEL AND JONATHAN
Is this real life?
Why do we seek out ecstasy
In all the wrong places?
Why is it hard to see
That heaven can have simpler faces?

MICHAEL
Warm breath
Of an angel

MICHAEL AND SUSAN
Awake next to you
Love’s so still
Can you feel it?
What more do you want?

MICHAEL, JONATHAN AND SUSAN
Is this real life?
Real life
Is this real life?
Is this real…
Is this real life?
Is this real life?
Real life
Is this real life?
Is this real…
Is this real…
Is this…

MICHAEL
Is this real life?

Funny,
Who could see that this pathetic scene would be
So funny
Once you strain to find the grain of humor
Underneath
Life double crosses with style
Forcing you into a smile
So it can kick you in the teeth

Just desserts
We can all laugh till it hurts
At my expense
I’m accustomed to working on “spec”
I always pick up the check

I think it’s funny
Who could top or make this comic op’ra more
Compelling
You could weave in some deceit to even up the
Score

You’d have us all on the floor
That would be roaringly funny
Sad enough my life’s a joke that suffers in the telling
Just another hoary chestnut from the bottom drawer
I’ve heard so often before
That I can’t laugh anymore

KALA (spoken)
Wheres Tarzan? Where is he?

KERCHAK
No turning back
Whats done is done
I have seen what they can do
He can’t be saved by you, by me
It’s too late

KALA (spoken)
No, I wont let you do this. How can you think-

KERCHAK
No more fighting. I’ll be obeyed
I’ll stand my ground
Don’t dare defy me
I know his kind
I know the truth
I will protect us

No other way
Open your eyes
It’s there to see
No other way
He’s not one of us
And never will be

KALA (spoken)
Just listen to me

KERCHAK
No more to say
He is what he is
And that won’t change
There’s no other way
I am leaving him here
And here he’ll stay

KALA (spoken)
Hes just a child

KERCHAK
He was up in the trees
Making a weapon
And in time it is us
He will hurt

KALA (spoken)
No

KERCHAK
Nothing and no one
Will stop him becoming
What he is
And was by blood

No other way
He won’t come between me
And those I love
Believe me when I say
With my body and soul
This I vow

KALA (spoken)
But I need him!

KERCHAK
No, no other way
And in spite of your pain
It will be done

No matter what you say
He never was or could be
Be my son
There is no other way

I won’t let him near the rest of the tribe again

KALA
I understand

KERCHAK
Where are you going?

KALA
To find him
We’ll live away from the family

KERCHAK
For how long?

KALA
For as long as he needs me

KERCHAK
You can’t. I wont be able to protect you
Kala don’t do this. Please.

KALA
Kerchak I’m his mother

KERCHAK
No other way
I should have done this before
Long ago
And from today
Though they’ll think of me cruel
They won’t know
There was no other way.

Where can I go that you won’t find me?
Why can’t I find a place to hide?
Why do you want to chase me, haunt me?
Every step there, beside me.

Where in the world, tell me, where in the world
Can I live without your love?
Where on the earth, tell me where on the earth
Should I stay now that you are gone?

Why did I have to meet you, love you?
Why can’t I rid you from my mind?
Why did you have to want me?
Won’t you let me put my life behind me?

How in the world, tell me how in the world
Can I live without your love?
Why on the earth, tell me, why on the earth
Should I stay now that you are gone?
Now that you are…

(spoken)
Lily, is that you?

There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Into valleys, into waters
Into jungles, into hell
Let us ride, let us ride home again with a story to tell
Into darkness, into danger
Into storms that rip the night
Don’t give in, don’t give up
But give thanks for the glorious fight

You can tremble, you can fear it
But keep your fighting spirit alive boys
Let the shiver of it sting you
Fling into battle, spring to your feet boys
Never hold back your step for a moment
Never doubt that your courage will grow
Hold your head even higher and into the fire we go

Are there mountains that surround us?
Are there walls that block the way?
Knock ’em down, strip ’em back boys
And forward and into the fray

Into terror, into valour
Charge ahead, no, never turn
Yes, it’s into the fire we fly
And the devil will burn

Someone has to face the valley
Rush in, we have to rally and win boys
When the world is saying not to
By God, you know you’ve got to march on, boys
Never hold back your step for a moment
Never doubt that your courage will grow
Hold your head ever higher and into the fire we go

Let the lightning strike
Let the flash of it shock you
Choke your fears away
Pull as tight as a wire
Let the fever strike
Let the force of it rock you
We will have our day, sailing into the fire

Land Ho!

Someone has to face the valley
Rush in! We have to rally and win boys
When the world is saying not to
By God, you know you’ve got to march on, boys
Never hold back your step for a moment
Look alive! Oh, your courage will grow
Yes, it’s higher and higher and into the fire we go
Into fire!
Onward, ho!
