Songs of Innocence And Experience Lyrics by Lisa Howard

Songs of Innocence and Experience: The Music of William Finn

2011

[SEBASTIAN]
What is innocence, exactly?
Is it ever unattractive
Do the people who are innocent
Think their innocence
Makes them better than the people who have lost their innocent bliss?
Hey, are you following this?
[LISA]
And at what expense
Does innocence become experience?
Let us all commence
To celebrate our lives
Sometimes achievers
Busy as beavers
Might look back and say:
"Hey, Dad, look what I built today!"
[SEBASTIAN]
What's experience exactly?
Is it simply earned by living?
Do the people with experience
Need to understand
That a life that's richened
By experience becomes
More unforgiving
[LISA]
And at what expense
Does innocence become experience?
What's the consequence
When something new gives way?
For example, this building
How much music it will bring
I cannot say
But Dad, look what we built today
[SEBASTIAN]
What expense
What's the consequence
When something new gives way?
This building
How much music it will bring
I cannot say
But Dad, look what we built today
[LISA & SEBASTIAN]
What expense
 
experience
all commence
To celebrate our lives
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
But Dad, look what we built today
 
Today
Today
Today
[BACKUP]
And at what expense
Does innocence become experience?
Let us all commence
To celebrate our lives
And to honor this building
How much music it will bring
We cannot say
But Dad, look what we built today
 
Today
Today
Today
