What a Piece of Work Is Man / How Dare They Try Lyrics by Maya Sharpe, Gavin Creel, ‘Hair’ Tribe

Hair (The New Broadway Cast Recording)

2009

[TRIBE MAN & TRIBE WOMAN]
What a piece of work is man
How noble in reason
How infinite in faculties
[TRIBE WOMAN]
In form and moving
How express and admirable
[TRIBE MAN & TRIBE WOMAN]
In action how like an angel
[TRIBE WOMAN]
In apprehension how like a god
[TRIBE MAN & TRIBE WOMAN]
The beauty of the world
The paragon of animals
[CLAUDE]
I have of late
But wherefore I know not
Lost all my mirth
This goodly frame
The earth
Seems to me a sterile promontory
[TRIBE MAN]
This most excellent canopy
The air
Look you
[TRIBE WOMAN]
This brave o'erhanging firmament
[TRIBE MAN & TRIBE WOMAN]
This majestical roof
Fretted with golden fire
Why it appears no other thing to me
Than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors
[CLAUDE, TRIBE MAN & TRIBE WOMAN]
What a piece of work is man
How noble in reason
[TRIBE]
How dare they try to end this beauty?
How dare they try to end this beauty?
Walking in space
We find the purpose of peace
The beauty of life
You can no longer hide
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Wide wide wide
