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 or 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 lie 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 stars!

But hiding down below a spark's asleep inside it, Waiting for the right time to be seen. You clear away the dead parts, So the tender buds can form, Loosen up the earth and Let the roots get warm, Let the roots get warm. Come a mild day, come a warm rain, Come a snowdrop, a-comin' up! Come a lily, come a lilac! Come to call, Callin' all the rest to come and see! MARY: When a thing is wick, And someone cares about it, And comes to work each day, like you and me, Will it grow? DICKON: It will! MARY: Then have no doubt about it, We'll have the grandest garden ever seen!! [Spoken] Oh, Dickon, I want it all to be wick! Would you come and look at it with me? DICKON: I'll come every day, rain or shine if you want me. All that garden needs is for us to come wake it up! MARY: But, Dickon, what if we save the garden, then Uncle Archie takes it back, or Colin wants it? DICKON: Ay, what a miracle that would be, gettin' a poor crippled boy out to see his mother's garden! [Sung] MARY and DICKON: You give a living thing A little chance to grow, That's how you will know If she is wick, she'll grow. So grow to greet the morning, Leave the ground below. When a thing is wick It has a will to grow and grow. MARY: Come a mild day, come a warm rain, Come a snowdrop, a-comin' up! Come a lily, come a lilac! Come to call, calling all the rest to come! MARY and DICKON: Calling all the rest to come! Calling all the world to come! DICKON: Oh, somewhere there's single streak of green below, MARY and DICKON: And all through the darkest nighttime, It's waiting for the right time. When a thing is wick, it will grow!

Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner And he told me I should buy another case Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again Why does this always happen?

Originally Posted By chickendumpling It's not that easy bein' green; Having to spend each day the color of the leaves. When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold- or something much more colorful like that. It's not easy bein' green. It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things. And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water- or stars in the sky. But green's the color of Spring. And green can be cool and friendly-like. And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree. When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why? Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful! And I think it's what I want to be.
