Soft Power the Musical - Democracy (Reprise) Lyrics
The song is written by David Henry Hwang & Jeanine Tesori.
XUE XING: (spoken)
David, we have a saying:
"Dà nàn bù sǐ, bì yǒu hòu fú"
"If somehow you survive
when you should have died,
good fortune will follow."
I hope this proves true for you all
I was taught
ENSEMBLE:
In the land of the free
I was taught
Where they screamed at me, "Life"
"Life!"
"Liberty!"
"Liberty!"
How can I turn my back
On democracy?
And I forget what I really should know
I forget that it's such a big, big show
Still I dream
Still I dream
Still I dream
Still I dream
That our people can be
They can be wise enough
Wise enough
Just enough
Just enough
Worthy of trust enough,
Kind enough, smart enough
With a big heart enough
Good and grown-up enough
To lift us up
Lift us up!
Lift us up!
Lift us up!
Lift us up!
Lift us up!
Lift us up!
Lift us up!
And I dream
Welcome to America,
Welcome to America
This is, this is
America
Look, our country's a disaster
This is America
In so many ways
But we have the power
We have
We have
We have
We have the power
We have the power
We have
DHH:
This is America
This is America
This is America
ENSEMBLE:
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
DHH: (spoken)
"Dà nàn bù sǐ, bì yǒu hòu fú"
"Good fortune will follow,
If we somehow survive."
ENSEMBLE:
In America
