Sound Body, Sound Mind Lyrics by Elliot Valentine Lee, Mel Hornyak

Adamandi (Live Princeton University Cast Recording)

2022

AMBROSE
You could banish your softness
That weakness you hate
Cut back on the sweets, get some meat on your plate
Firm up your muscles
And carve out your chin
To find your true body just under your skin
AMBROSE/MARMOREI
Why not come for a run
Gnaw at life’s bloody rind
Find some like-minded brothers
To keep you in line
No need to cheat or despair
At the struggles you find
You’ll always have the perfect aim:
Sound body, sound mind
AMBROSE
(spoken)
Hop to it, boys! Better sore than sorry!
AMBROSE/MARMOREI
You can look like you’re tough
Keep your biceps defined
But it’s never enough
You could be redеsigned
If you never brеak form
Keep your torso aligned
Apollo’s look is yours:
Sound body, sound mind
AMBROSE
(spoken)
Why him, boys?
MARMOREI
God of male beauty and statuary
With contrapposto confidence
A bearing strong and military
A gaze level and intense
AMBROSE/MARMOREI
Pain is weakness leaving the body
Pain rewires each indigent nerve
Pain keeps you sane, morals straight, senses sharper
Pain is the love you don’t have to deserve
[Dance break]
AMBROSE/MARMOREI
There’s no need to think of what you'll want
Once you're perfectly manly
Because here's the real beauty of it:
No one ever can be!
So we never have to see the end
Of the creationary grind
We'll always have more work to do
Sound body, sound mind
