lyrics of our lives

So, I am probably going to be closing out my myspace account- which is the blog where I posted all my favorite lyrics. So you will probably be seeing more and more lyrics invade our blog space. Usually they are songs that exemplify how I have been feeling or just some songs that I have really been enjoying lately. Today's lyrics come from one of my all time favorite Broadway shows, Aida!

Every Story is a Love Story

Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance
Whether true or fabricated
Whether planned or happenstance

Whether sweeping through the ages
Casting centuries aside
Or a hurried brief recital
Just a thirty-minute ride

Whether bright or melancholy
Rough and ready, finely spun
Whether with a thousand players
Or a lonely cast of one

Every story, new or ancient
Bagatelle or work of art
All are tales of human failing
All are tales of love at heart



Fortune Favors the Brave (excerpt)

It's all worked out, my road is clear
The lines of latitude extend
Way beyond my wildest dreams
Toward some great triumphant end

We seize the day
We turned the tide
We touched the stars
We mocked the grave
We moved into uncharted lands
Fortune favors the brave

The more we find, the more we see
The more we come to learn
The more that we explore
The more we shall return

Nothing is an accident
We are free to have it all
We are what we want to be
It's in ourselves to rise or fall

This is easy to believe
When distant places call to me
It's harder from the palace yard

Fortune favors the free!

Fortune favors the young!

Fortune favors the brave!
