RENT Lyrics

[anam_moon]

James and I saw some of that documentary about Broadway on Thanksgiving evening, after we got back from his parents' house. Part of it included "RENT." I'm so very glad that I had the opportunity to see the stage production. I'm not sure yet whether or not I will see the movie while it's in the theatres. I'm not sure that James would be interested in seeing it and, at least for a while, it looks like our time together is going to be pretty limited now that he has started his new job. Anyway, that documentary got me thinking about the songs from RENT again. This one was one of my favorites.

One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy from Maine
Who wasted opportunities
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory -- on another empty life
Time flies -- time dies
Glory -- One blaze of glory
One blaze of glory -- glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then - no need to endure anymore
Time dies

I was very lucky in getting to see it in San Francisco several years ago with a couple of friends.
