The Gift Lyrics by Michael Friedman

Fortress of Solitude (Original Cast Recording)

0

[RACHEL]
If you find a little space
Keep your finger on the trigger
When you learn to sing the song
Then the space will soon get bigger

And the song will fill that space
And the space will grow
I know it will, I know it will
Everybody singing a different song
But if they all sing together
Then it can't be wrong

(voices build, overlapping & repeating to the end of the song)

[RACHEL]
This is your power
This is your gift
This is your power
This is your gift

[MARILLA]
Oh baby
You're the one I'll remember

[SKATER GIRL]
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
Big man, little man, who you gonna be?
Will you ever sing your song to me?

[HENRY & RADIO GUY]
Grab something
Grab something
Hold on tight

[ARTHUR]
You buy comics
Put 'em in plastic

[JUNIOR & SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS]
I'm just walking down the street
And the street is lonely

[SENIOR]
The devil lives on
Dean Street

[ABRAHAM]
Cadmium yellow
Light aryldie yellow
Indian yellow
Cadmium orange
Deep
