View Lyrics
People say that's irresponsible People tell me stay at home But I'm not made for things like mowing lawns or apron strings I'm my best, when not at rest
So I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two Then comes the day it's time, I'm packing up and I am bringing all my stories home to you
All I can see is miles ahead with miles to go All I can feel is wind and sun and sky Stop for a coffee, make a friend, and pray the day will never end 'Cause there's one more adventure waiting 'round another bend
Where I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two But then a feeling comes Like fifty thousand drums all banging, "Bring my stories home to you"
And I wonder as I wander on the road from door to door Exactly what you think of where I've been
Do you know I joined the circus, met a mermaid, fought a war? Do you know I think of you through thick and thin? Because even though I'm making deals and bringin' people joy I'm usually only thinking of my boy
Out there on the road I pray You'll come to my one day And say, "Let's fight the dragons and then storm the castles 'til we win what needs to be won" So when I'm old and tired, you'll do the job required You'll be there telling stories to your son
And we fight the dragons and we storm the castles And I do the best that I can For everybody knows that's how the story goes To turn each boy into a bigger man
So I'll fight the dragons 'til you can

View Lyrics
(sung) With your eye on the ball and your feet on the fairway- Hit it high little girls, marry well!
MAN Four!
MAJOR BOUVIER Every point under par is a leg up the stairway To the sky little girls, marry well. Find a staunch young patrician, Republican! With the blood and the brains to excel! Like the fine strapping lad your late grandmama had Meaning I, little girls, marry well.
Ridiculous woman my daughter Edith Flying at the face of every good solid value I ever tried to instill in her God knows I've tried to teach her tried to teach all of my brood-
EDIE &MAJOR BOUVIER(spoken) The hallmark of aristocracy is responsibility
MAJOR BOUVIER Edie, oh ho ho, the last hope of the great Bouvier clan.
EDIE Oh, honestly!
BROOK But Major Bouvier, the time!
MAJOR BOUVIER Oh alright, alright, I'm coming. Company, fall in! Ten hut!
EDIE Chair the ball for the blind
LEE Treat your church to a steeple
ALL When in doubt, little girls, marry well!
LEE Bail the met out of debt
JACKIE Leave your art to the people.
ALL And the crowd will fall under your spell!
MAJOR BOUVIER But an unmarried lassie who's fast and loose, is a moose in a herd of gazelle!
ALL POW
MAJOR BOUVIER Don't be picked off the pack With your head on a plaque! Do me proud, little girls
ALL Marry well
MAJOR BOUVIER It's your future that counts They say greatness always skips a generation So now its up to you to burnish the family crest And remember girls- this crest of our french royal providence It took a while for it We paid a pile for it So go end up spinsters and diletants! The name Bouvier will surpass all others All of your uncles, aunts-
EDITH Oh Ah Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
MAJOR BOUVIER And mothers
LEE Picture Lee in Milan with a prince and a villa.
MAJOR BOUVIER Sally forth, little girl! Very nice.
JACKIE Jackie B. in Paris, simply bathes in chinchilla
EDIE As for me, Joe will more than suffice!
MAJOR BOUVIER Good girl! With a grandfather's blessing, I wish you love! Someone there when your hair goes to gray, and I'll strut in my spats down the isle of Saint Pat's!
BROOKS Marry high!
EDIE Marry proud!
JACKIE & LEE Nouveau riche ain't allowed!
BROOKS Upper class!
LEE Upper Crust!
JACKIE Standard Oil and Morgan Trust!
EDIE Marry young!
BROOKS Marry chaste!
MAJOR BOUVIER Or if not, then in haste-
ALL Marry well, and you're well on your way!

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!

Martin Guerre leaves his family to start a new life.
View Lyrics
They want my blood They're ready to feed They don't even know The man that they bleed As if a man Can love on demand Accept his life Is already planned
There is no demon inside Just a man full of pride For my hopes haven't died Look...
Look, I'm Martin Guerre Too young to love But still above The lie they live Yes! I'm Martin Guerre A man who knows How evil grows And can't forgive
Soon they will see A man can choose to be free They all look for someone to blame But I swear it aloud, I will be proud that Martin Guerre is my name
First I trusted Pierre I was sold at the shrine Then I trusted the priest Now my blood runs like wine And then there was Bertrande It seems all love must turn to dust There must be someone I can trust
Look, I'm Martin Guerre Father I'm brave And from your grave You'll keep me strong Yes. I'm Martin Guerre For they will learn When I return That I belong
Soon you will see That I can choose to be free They all look for someone to blame But I swear it aloud, I will be proud I'm Martin Guerre They all look for someone to blame But I swear it aloud, I will be proud that Martin Guerre is my name

Randall reveals to Campbell his past as an outcast, and wants her to embrace her life journey.
View Lyrics
CAMPBELL You?
RANDALL Right? I was a loser, a mess, A loner, depressed That every day I had to be me Walked around hoping no one Would see me
I'd lock myself in the guys room And let the tears fall, Til one day this custodian Knocked on my stall And asked if I'd heard Of the band: The Grateful Dead -- And I thought he might not be Quite right in the head...
But he changed my life around When he said "Right now everything seems so important. But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, These high school years Will be nothing more than a blip So you might as well -- enjoy the trip."
CAMPBELL But its such a long blip!
RANDALL Thats what i said! and he said:
"Trust me on this, when you're older And wiser and balder and fatter And you look back on this Moment in time The only things thats gonna Matter is Did you only do what you Thought you should do? Did you dance monkey dance Cause the man told you to? Or did you spend your time doing What brings joy to you?
"All you see is this old dude With a broom in his hand. But I've followed my dreams And my favorite band."
So don't sit on your ass Waiting for life to begin If you do what you love With your time, then you win! What a long, strange, Wonderful trip it's been!
Right now everything seems So important But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, These high school years Will be nothing more than a blip Just a tale to tell!
RANDALL & CAMPBELL That rings a bell So what the hell! We might as well enjoy the trip!

Will Bloom, excited about the future of his future child, wishes to strengthen the relationship with his father.
View Lyrics
I'm passing through a rite That every parent does I'm walking on some shared familiar ground Yet every step I take Is not a step that was And I found I like the sound of
Stranger A child I've yet to meet Becomes my everything My song to sing Father And suddenly the weight of it is real What do I feel?
I feel connected In a way I've never known A line from dad to me to new-born son So from today I'll never make a choice alone One for all All for one
And when he's born I'll teach him how to use his common sense He'll listen and he'll learn and he'll excel I'll tell my son That life is lived in clear and present tense Not only in the stories we can tell
My father told me stories I could never comprehend In every tale he'd claim to be the hero I've tried to understand him But I wonder if I can
Because after almost thirty years I still don't know the man I wish I knew the man
But he's a stranger My father is a stranger I know very well A puzzling shell Hopeful What's on its way help us both to grow But I don't know
I don't know when I'll understand What made him wild I don't know why he has the urge to fly I want to face him Like a man and not a child So I'll try I'll really try
And in time, my boy is sure to see Brighter days for dad and me We can do things better than before So that strangers we will be no more

Got some years ahead to go You’ll go free if you take it slow Oh boy you got left, right oh boy, ain’t that right
Two kinds of people in this world Some say yes and some say no Time to say which side you’re on Eeeny meeny miney moe
Say yes and your adventure start Not always as expected Say no you stay apart But you stay protected
You’ve got to give your self A reason to rejoice Cause the music you make Counts for everything Now every living soul has got a voice You’ve got to give it room And let it sing
My family never had too much Made the best of every day Ate what’s on our plates you know Never threw a thing away We kept our nightmares on the shelf Our dreams were on the table Pass ‘em down and help your self As long as you are able
My momma told me Son forget what might have been Give yourself a break whatever’s happening Don’t let your spirit, son, come closing in You gotta give it room and let it, let it sing You gotta give it room and let it sing Oh you gotta lift up your voice and sing
Got some years ahead to go You’ll go free if you take it slow Got some years it won’t be long You’ll be free to sing your song
Oh boy you got left, right Oh boy
There's precious little really folks like us controlled But you can make your music from the simplest thing And though no one has got to tend your soul You’ve got to give it room and let it Let it sing You’ve got to give it room and let it sing
You’ve got to let it sing You got to let it sing You got to give it room And let it sing

But what about the child who cannot breathe, Or the gentle sage who won't see the age of thirty-two? I am awaiting, I am awaiting you.
Light it all and burn it to the ground! Go ahead and let your thunder sound! Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away. I'll just have to wait another day.
Maybe in God we trust just a lucky charm, Maybe faith is only hoping that we can rise anew. And so I rise and so I stand. I am awaiting you, oh, I will still be standing here awaiting you.
Light it all and burn it to the ground! Go ahead and let your thunder sound! Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away. I'll just have to wait another day.

Henry Jekyll's menacing alter ego, Edward Hyde, starts to manifest.

Where does this feeling Of power derive, Making me know Why I'm alive?
Like the night, it's a secret, Sinister dark and unknown. I do not know what I seek, Yet I'll seek it alone!
I have a thirst That I cannot deprive. Never have I felt so alive!
There is no battle I couldn't survive - Feeling like this - Feeling alive!
Like the moon, an enigma, Lost and alone in the night Damned by some heavenly stigma, But blazing with light!
It's the feeling of being alive! Filled with evil, but truly alive! It's the truth that cannot be denied! It's the feeling of being Edward Hyde!

Christine convinces Mary that her love for Del knows no boundaries
View Lyrics
I must be strong, I must be bolder Cling to my dream and never tire Each love denied leaves people colder New love rekindles every fire
I shan't betray my heart's desire Even though we come From different sides We won't hide
I am in love, no one can blame me Such is my story and my fate My kind of love will never shame me My love is stronger than their hate My love is stronger than their hate
I shall cling to him with all my might It's my right
All kinds of love bring us together Causing the broken hearts to mend People must love now and forever There's only one love in the end There's only one love in the end

View Lyrics
When you see the storm is coming See the lightning part the skies It's too late to run There's terror in your eyes What you do then is remember This old thing you heard me say "It's the storm, not you That's bound to blow away"
Hold on Hold on to someone standing by Hold on Don't even ask how long or why? Child, hold on to what you know is true Hold on till you get through Child, oh child Hold on
When you feel your heart is poundin' Fear a devil's at your door There's no place to hide You're frozen to the floor What you do then is you force yourself To wake up, and just say "It's this dream, not me That's bound to go away"
Hold on Hold on, the night will soon be by Hold on Until there's nothing left to try Child, hold on, there's angels on their way Hold on and hear them say "Child, oh child!"
And it doesn't even matter If the danger and the doom Come from up above or down below Or just come flying at you from across the room
When you see a man who's raging And he's jealous and he fears That you've walked through walls He's hid behind for years What you do then Is you tell yourself to wait it out And say "It's this day, not me That's bound to go away"
Child, oh hold on It's this day, not you That's bound to go away

You'll see me carried shoulder high, By famous people I've never met, But till I leave the rear, It's from the rear you'll hear, "I ain't down yet." To show that you know, You got to show you know you know!
I'm goan' to move From place to place To find a house With a goldn stair And if that house is red And has a big brass bed I'm liiiivin' there.
You'll see me carried shoulder high, By famous people I've never met, But till I leave the rear, It's from the rear you'll hear, "I ain't down yet."

Sharon explains her father's theory behind following dreams.
View Lyrics
Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow it over the hill and stream. Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow the fellow who follows a dream. Follow the fellow, follow the fellow, Follow the fellow who follows a dream.
'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child. Oh, the lure of that song Kept her feet running wild. For you never grow old and you never stand still With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill.
So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free. To the east with the lark Tow the west with the sea. And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies. But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes.

And if anybody asks for Ella, Mella or Mom Tell them that I'm goin' back where I came from To the B.T. Bras-se-ière Company
Goodbye everybody Goodbye Madame Grimaldi Goodbye Junior Mallett Santa Claus is a-hittin' the road
Listen to your mama, mama, mama Eat your spinach baby Eat your spinach baby By the load

So, goodbye Max, to your dogs and your cats To the Duke of Windsor and His Duchess
Bye bye Barton and Kitchell and Hastings At last you're out of my clutches
I'll miss you but you'll carry on You'll never know that I've gone
I'm a-going back Where I can be me At the Bonjour Tristesse Brassière Company
And while I'm sitting there I'll hope that I find out Just what Ella Peterson is all about In that Shangri-La of lacy lingerie

View Lyrics
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud I need to be as free As I know how to be I want to live out loud
Every day – sleep, walk, lock, step No one dares to stray Though they may – straightlaced, shamefaced Long to break away They’re as lonely as can be Is that what they want from me?
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want to live life under a cloud Give me some air and space And sun on my face I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud Nobody wants me here But I won’t be disappear I want to live out loud
I want to run down an open shoreline I want to join in a moonlit dance I want to swing from the branches of a tree I wanna bathe in a hidden inlet And let the breeze come and dry my hair I want the life they took away from me
If they makes me headstrong – fine! That’s a fault I’m glad is mine.
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want my spirit broken and bowed Why do I have to hide what I’m feeling inside I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd I only want what I’m not allowed Give me the wings of a bird I’ll be seen and be heard
I want to sing when my heart is full I want to sing and I want to fly I want to soar the sky without a cloud I want to live out loud.

Grania (known in the show as “Grace”) vents to her lover Tiernan over her frustration that her father Dubhdara forbids her to sail on his ship.
View Lyrics
If I long for fire Must it stay unreal? Can I not desire? Am I not to feel?
If I ache to taste Am I not to try? If my heart says sail Why must I deny? I have my dreams I have made plans
I see horizons wide as a man’s Must I be nothing till I’m some man’s wife?
Look at this face Does it deceive? Do I look made to milk and to weave? I will be damned to Hell if that is my life! (Interlude)
Tiernan, I’m almost your age, I’m your match in size, I’m your match with swords An equal in most eyes
But when you have a dream And you’re caught in it’s grip You can climb aboard a ship You can – You can for you’re a man
You can reach toward that place Where the earth meets the sky Fight a battle be brave, be true If you can do it, why not I?
I’m meant to fly Sail unrestrained Why is man free and woman chained? Is that my epitaph before I die?
I should be free Free to be Grace I want to feel the wind on my face! And when life beckons, I should go Face out the storm, not stay below Am I to be just woman? No! Not I!

When Will is upset that his dad Edward has to travel for work, Edward tells him to be brave.
View Lyrics
People say that's irresponsible People tell me stay at home But I'm not made for things like mowing lawns or apron strings I'm my best, when not at rest
So I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two Then comes the day it's time, I'm packing up and I am bringing all my stories home to you
All I can see is miles ahead with miles to go All I can feel is wind and sun and sky Stop for a coffee, make a friend, and pray the day will never end 'Cause there's one more adventure waiting 'round another bend
Where I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two But then a feeling comes Like fifty thousand drums all banging, "Bring my stories home to you"
And I wonder as I wander on the road from door to door Exactly what you think of where I've been
Do you know I joined the circus, met a mermaid, fought a war? Do you know I think of you through thick and thin? Because even though I'm making deals and bringin' people joy I'm usually only thinking of my boy
Out there on the road I pray You'll come to my one day And say, "Let's fight the dragons and then storm the castles 'til we win what needs to be won" So when I'm old and tired, you'll do the job required You'll be there telling stories to your son
And we fight the dragons and we storm the castles And I do the best that I can For everybody knows that's how the story goes To turn each boy into a bigger man
