Harmony the Musical - Threnody Lyrics
The song is written by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman.
GIRLS:
Harmony
Ba da da harmony
Then just maybe we've got a chance
RABBI:
Oh, they're singing your song
MARY: (spoken)
Rabbi, they're singing your song
RABBI:
He's on the train
GIRL 1: (spoken)
He's on the train, the Führer,
I can't believe it!
GIRL 2: (spoken)
The Führer?
GIRL 1: (spoken)
He's actually here, and he's coming this way!
MARY: (spoken)
This isn't happening
YOUNG RABBI: (spoken)
I'm afraid it is
MARY: (spoken)
Rabbi, what are you doing, sit down.
For the love of god, Joe, sit down!
ERICH:
Sh'ma yisrael
ERICH & MARY:
Adonai eloheinu, adonai echad
RABBI: (spoken)
You can do it, you can do it
This is your chance
They have the guns,
You grab a gun,
You shoot the gun
This is your time
Do it, do it, nothing to it
Kill him, and it's over
So they kill you, so what?
Doesn't mattеr, does it?
No, yes, no
You can do it
If you do it
(sung)
It will change thе world
You change everything
But no, nothing, nothing, you did nothing
And you punishment is to remember everything
YOUNG RABBI: (spoken)
I'm afraid it is
MARY: (spoken)
Rabbi, what are you doing, sit down.
For the love of god, Joe, sit down!
ERICH:
Sh'ma yisrael
ERICH & MARY:
Adonai eloheinu, adonai echad
RABBI: (spoken)
You can do it, you can do it
This is your chance
They have the guns,
You grab a gun,
You shoot the gun
This is your time
Do it, do it, nothing to it
Kill him, and it's over
So they kill you, so what?
Doesn't mattеr, does it?
No, yes, no
You can do it
If you do it
(sung)
It will change thе world
You change everything
But no, nothing, nothing, you did nothing
And you punishment is to remember everything
You alone will remember everything
You'll remember harmony
You'll remember every single day
You'll remember every empty night
You'll remember the chance that was yours
To obliterate his
And the truth of it all
And the truth of it is, you did nothing
Like the thousands who followed, nothing
Like the millions who stood by,
And watched, and denied
But worst of all, just like them all
You stepped aside
Sh'ma yisrael adonai eloheinu adonai echad
What were you thinking, didn't you know?
Mary knew, didn't you?
Yes, no, yes
Why was I chosen?
To remember, to relive
To forget, to forgive
No, yes, no
Sh'ma yisrael adonai
Adonai
Nothing, you did nothing
Adonai
Every single day
You'll remember every endless night
You'll remember till the day you die
You did nothing
Nothing nothing
You could have killed him
He killed mama
He killed papa
You could have stopped him
The evil
You could have stopped the lunacy
You could have stopped the train
Why, why
Adonai
'Till the day you die
