Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Nothing Really Matters


SCENE 1 - THE BALLROOM

George comes out of a lift looking around confused. The door to the ballroom comes open and inside we see the Elitists having a party.

Nothing really matters.

Elitists:
We're the cream, we're the crust
We're for pleasure, we're for lust
All the fun has just begun
We are the children of the sun

Cutting teeth, cutting through
Life for me is death for you
Shut your eyes, shut your ears
We are the children of the years

And to us nothing really matters in this world
It's power that's the thing
The taste of pure sweet decadence
And the pleasure that it brings
A sweet young thing to hold
So we will not be cold
And winter snow will never come
And we will not grow old
That's what we have been told
It's always been like this
Machine built edifice
The power of Metropolis!

Three Elitists have just realised that George isn't one of them. He is attacked and beaten up. Jeremiah comes over.

Jeremiah:
What's your name?

George:
11811


Jeremiah:
Get rid of him now.

Two guards move forwards towards George. Steven enters, sees what is going one and rushed over.

Steven:
Wait! This was just a joke. It was a game!

Jeremiah:
What is this, Steven?

Steven:
A little bit of fun, Jeremiah.

Jeremiah:
It's not very runny


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- I've Seen a Nightmare


I've Seen A Nightmare

Steven:
I've seen a nightmare
A vision of hell
I've been a worker
I've a story to tell
Of so many deaths
Of massive machines

Jeremiah:
Why bother them with something that they've never seen?


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- This is Life


This Is Life

Jeremiah and elitists:
This is life, lived like a story
This is life at its best and its glory
Keeper a dreams and singer a songs
This is the land we love
And we'll keep it strong

Freeman arrives, the Elitists bow to him

Freeman:
My dear friends I welcome you
Here's someone special, someone new
The new form, the new face
Most perfect of the human race.

Futura enters, Warner slips into the side of the room to watch what is happening.

Warner:
Futura, oh my Futura. Why did I allow him to take you away from me?

Jeremiah:
You have no power to change anything.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Look at this Girl Who Stands Before You


Look At This Girl Who Stands Before You

Freeman:
Look at this girl who stands before you
Look at her confidence
Look at her perfect skin
See how upright her perfect figure
People, you need to see this once
And you will always remember this sight
Perfection's touched your lives tonight

I can't believe, she's such a beauty
Why am I feeling like this? What is gong on?
People, you need to learn from this
How quickly beauty comes
And how slowly it goes
Dance!


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Futura's Dance


Futura's Dance

Steven and George return

Steven:
Maria!

Freeman:
Ha, ha! Marvellous! Isn't my discovery wonderful? I must admit, you've got very good taste, my boy and congratulations on your costume. It is most original! Think! Tonight every man in metropolis will be dreaming about her!

Warner:
Futura!

Freeman:
Ha! Ha! Ha! And she's all mine. In you go, my dear. Exquisite! Perfection! Remember this sight, my friends. Please continue with the party my dear boy, take care of Lulu. My good friends, I bid you goodnight.

Freeman and Futura leave in a lift


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Where Do You Think She's Gone, Your Precious Maria?


Where Do You Think She's Gone?

Jeremiah:
Where do you think she's gone,
Your precious Maria?
Gone back to where she belongs,
Your darling Maria.

Elitists:
Fool to believe in such a pretty defeatist
Your workers' Madonna's become an elitist

Lulu:
You won't see here face again, your pretty Maria

Lulu & Jeremiah:
She wants new life and new fame
Can't blame your Maria

Elitists
Give up these high ideals
You'll only get hurt now

Lulu & Jeremiah:
The only reality here is
Workers must work now.


Elitists:
Fool to make fun of us
Revenge is the sweetest
Lulu & Jeremiah:
Your workers' Madonna's become an elitist.

Elitists:
She's become an elitist. (repeat to fade)

Everyone leaves and Steven is left to reflect on his misfortune


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- If That Was Love


If That Was Love (This Is My Time)

Steven:
If that was love
Something so inspiring
I've got too much to lose
And too little to win
But I know in my heart
I've made a decision
Nothing left to say
Go the hardest way
If that was love

Maybe a hunch
Maybe it's a gamble
Am I facing the facts?
Did I look at the truth?
It's hard to live in a world
Where your close ones betray you
But I'll carry on
I've seen her be so strong
This is my time

If it's only love
Shouldn't be enough to break my heart
If it's only love
It's only love

Steven breaks down; George is not very impressed by his behaviour at all!

George:
So it was just Maria. You don't care about us!

Steven:
How can I help you if she's the one you listen to?

George:
We listen to anyone who brings us hope. I'm going back!

Steven:
You can't leave on your own, it's not safe!

George:
I hate your world and I hate your people. Why did I trust you? They could have killed me!

Steven:
I saved you...

George:
Some hero! I'm going back to my people. You have no idea what's going on down there, you've only worked one shift. My girl was killed in one of your father's machines. And
When people die, even their bodies are taken away from us!


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Listen to Me


Listen To Me

George:
There is little time for love there
Night and day it s always the same
I lost all I have to love there
There's no time to dwell on the pain

Steven:
I have lost my only love here
Right or wrong, to her I'll be true
If I say goodbye to love here
Who will be my friend here, but you?

George:
So leave here and help us
She's gone now she's worthless

Steven:
How can I save her, oh my friend?

George:
Your love is a lie
Steven:
I cannot stop my love for her

George:
Each day workers die

Steven (+George)
My friend what can I do
(Your anger's strong)
Knowing what my father did
(We need you to belong
This city's not free)

Steven:
Won't satisfy me

George:
Surely now you have your answer?

Steven:
How can you tell me to do this?
I have lost my only love here

George:
Don't sell our lives for a kiss!

Steven:
In my youth my father told me
Told me soon this city was mine

George:
Never told of the machine rooms
Workers dropping dead on the line.
So leave her ...

Steven (+George):
Why did she reject me,
(... and help us)
ignore me?
(She's gone now she's worthless)
How can I leave her
(Pressure's mounting down below)
Oh my friend?
(Help us we have got to know)
I cannot stop my love for her
(We need you to help us here)
Knowing what my father did
George:
Each day workers die

Steven (+George):
My friend what can I do
(Your anger's strong)
Knowing what my father did
(We need you to belong)

Steven & George:
The city's not free

Steven:
Please listen to me

George:
We've got to break free

George & Steven:
Please listen to me!


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Learning Song


SCENE 2 - THE WORKERS' ZONE

Freeman sends Futura down to the workers to begin his plan

Freeman:
Futura! Listen to me. Take the place of Maria. Spread confusion in the workers. Demoralise them. Use the children. I will monitor you and watch you. Remember, use the children . . . The pretty, pretty pretty' pretty children . .

The machine room. Lake has Maria's "book" and looks to see if the coast is clear.

Lake:
Shh!

Children:
Tree, sun, flow-er, bird.

Marta:
What does a bird really look like, Beso?


Beso:
I don't know we should ask Maria.

Lake:
But she isn't here.

Jose:
Perhaps something's happened to her

Marta: (calls)
Maria!

Crisscross:
Not so loud.

Abel:
Groat will hear.

Lake:
It's alright, I saw him round the corner he was snoring!

The children fall about laughing, Futura enters. She is dressed as Maria.

Marta:
Maria!

Jose:
Where have you been?

Crisscross:
It's time for the lesson.

Marta:
I can count up to a hundred.

Futura:
Child-ren.

Abel:
Yes.

Jose:
What's the matter?

Futura:
What-Are-You-Doing?

Tan:
We've come for the lesson. We always have our lesson at this time. Don't you remember?

Beso shows her the book. Futura grabs it

Futura:
Lesson. Yes.

Crisscross:
Why didn't you come to our lesson yesterday?

Futura:
I wasn't . . . Here . . . Yesterday

Jose:
She must have been ill.

Futura:
Show me your lessons.

Tan:
I think she still is.

The Learning Song

Children:
Life on the planet began one day
Man came and he built his family tree
He got on very well
The world was a great and warm and happy
Place to be
To fight
Wasn't right
And everyone lived next door to the sea.
Food was abundant and so was coal and shoes and the children all wore...

Futura:
Hats

Children:
We thought that's what you said
The fox and the goose, the giant dromedary and the flying bat

Futura:
Rattle tat, bit bat!

Children:
Lived here

Futura:
No fear!

Children:
It was clear

Futura:
Sincere

Children:
Some people even thought the world was flat

Futura:
Flat! Flat!

Children:
Flit flat

Futura:
Rattle tat.

Children:
Bit bat.

Children:
Man is a greedy sort of creature

Futura:
Creature!

Children:
Who thought he could better mother nature

Futura:
Nature!
Children:
He made an unpleasant kind of world
For us to ...

Children (Futura):
Grow (dum) up (dum) in (dum dim!)

Children:
Between everything there's a relation

Futura:
Sensation!

Children:
And kids are the crown of all creation

Futura:
Imagaination!

Children:
But it's rotten, we've forgotten
What came after that!

Futura:
Pretty children!
Do your lessons!
Pretty children!
Sing for Maria!

Children:
Hills and the valleys were made of glass
And the seas were full of purple fish
And the rivers ran upstream

Futura:
Unseen!

Children:
You said the moon was something like a silver dish

Futura:
Little silver dish .

Children:
And a tune


Futura:
Flim - floom

Children:
On a spoon

Futura:
Spin-spoon

Children:
Will always help you make a wish

Futura:
Pre-tty children, pre-tty children

Children:
We've forgotten
We've forgotten
What came after that

Futura claps sarcastically

Futura:
Clever children. Do you want a surprise? Just look at these silly lessons. These silly silly silly lessons. Such a meaningless thing to do. I've got something better than your lessons.

Marta:
What?

Futura:
Iwill tell you, I will tell you, if you come with me.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Old Friends


The children and Futura exit. Warner enters. ipr
my
Old friends ah

Warner: thi
Old friends, old plans ac
With these eyes bu
With these hands to

Built this city
Built it strong
My usefulness did not last long

Lost my pride
Lost the knack
He took my work
Gave nothing back
Only you
Futura girl
Can bring some light
To this man's world

Jeremiah enters and watches Warner below

Jeremiah:
What are you doing Warner? This is a controlled area.

Warner:
I was just looking for futura.

Jeremiah:
Never go near Futura again. If you behave yourself you may receive some small credit, but if i see you down here again I'll eliminate you.

Warner:
I've no intention of coming here again.

Jeremiah:
Good, then see that you don't.

Warner and Jeremiah exit. Workers come in from the darkness.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- When Maria Wakes


When Maria wakes

Workers' chorus:
When the morning sun is rising
Though in depths we see no light
Through the tunnels, through the darkness
Comes the radiance of our night
Gone the torment
Gone the anger
As the perfect morning wakes
Now our hearts are beating faster
When Maria wakes

Worker 1:
We've been told she's only sleeping
She'll return at break of day
Love and hope will take us further
Purity will light the way

Worker 1 and workers:
Who is stronger, who is weaker?
He who gives or he who takes?
Now we all can face the future
When Maria wakes

Futura arrives above, Lake running in with her.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Futura's Promise / Maria's Insane


Futuras promise/Marias insane

Lake.
Maria's backl

Futura:
I promised you I'd be back and here I am.
My mission was a great success
And here's the plan.
They want to give you all
A day of glorious sunshine
But you must allow the kids
To join the workline.

I bring you all a chance
To taste some freedom.
Soon you will climb the steps
And see the kingdom.
I've told the masters we can
Bring them more power.
All they want is the children
To work for one hour.

Workers:
What's gong on?
She's never talked this way before

Futura:
Why not, children?
Workers:
An angel of mercy goes up
A devil appears at the door

Futura:
Children are strong!

Workers:
There's always been a rule we'd keep their hands clean

Futura:
They're strong enough to work

Workers:
We'd never put the children on the machines!

Futura:
Don't you know
They're getting bored anyway down here?
They need a little job to do
What can they find to do down here?
Their hearts so brave and true
Life is cold and grey down here
They need a little job to do
Just a decent little job to do.

Lake:
Give me a chance,
I'm stronger than anyone here
You need a rest, your body's weak now
And can work for you down here

Workers:
We always had a rule we kept them away

Lake:
Let me please, let me ...

Workers (Lake):
How can they work for even one hour a day?
(Don't let them push me away)

Futura:
They're getting bored anyway down here
They need a little job to do
Life is so uninteresting
Till you have a little job to do
Give you a game to play down here
Something quite special and new
Life is so uninteresting
Now you have a little job to do
Just a decent little job to do

Workers:
Maria!

Workers:
I said to you id find a way to make us free

Workers:
This is madness.
What's come over you, Maria?

Futura:
Now you act like brainless fools, insulting me

Workers:
She's crazy

Futura:
I've told old Freeman
We can get him more power

Workers:
Take the kids
They shouldn't listen to insanity

Futura:
All he wants is the dumb brats
To slog a few hours!

Workers:
What's going on?
We won't stand for this anymore

Futura:
Children can work longer hours

Workers:
An angel of mercy goes up
A devil appears at the door
Lake:
Were Workers like you, just give me a chance

Lake (Workers):
You don't know what we can do
(Not here. This is madness)
'Till you give us a chance!
(This is lunacy, insanity)

Futura:
They're getting bored anyway down here
They need a little job to do
Life's so grim and grey down here
They've got more guts than you!

Workers:
Maria's insane!
They've made her insane!
She wants to control
Every mind, every soul
She must be a witch
She must be a witch
She needs to control
Every mind, every soul
Don't listen to her!
Don't listen to her!
This girl is a witch!
Is a witch!
Is a witch!
Is a witch!
Don't listen! Don't listen!
To this witch
To this witch!

Futura runs off, the workers pursue her through the machine rooms. Jeremiah and Freeman are observing from above.

Freeman:
Magnificent! She works!

Jeremiah:
Futura's gone wrong. She's going too far, she's out of control!
Freeman:
She's under my control Jeremiah. The workers must hate Maria, then the spirits will die within them

Jeremiah:
She'll make them riot. They've stopped work. The pressures falling

Freeman:
The pressure is only temporary I'll use the auxiliary never fear, Jeremiah. Come with me

They leave, the workers are still chasing the robot

Workers:
Maria's insane! They've made her insane!
She wants to control every mind, every soul
She must be a witch
She must be a witch
She needs to control every mind, every soul
Don't listen to her, don't listen to her
This girl is a witch, this girl is a witch
She needs to control every mind, every soul
Don't listen to her, don't listen to her!
Don't listen, don't listen
To this witch, to this witch

Jeremiah and Freeman return

Freeman:
Excellent! Splendid! Jeremiah, your worries are unfounded. Everything is alright. We now have the key; Futura. Metropolis is thriving. You will see, my son will soon come round.

Jeremiah:
I have doubts, sir

Freeman:
Yes?
Jeremiah:
His strengths are different from yours. It's the girl, sir . She's their Madonna, almost perfect. It's uncanny! Together they could destroy us all!

Freeman:
But the girl is already dead. Warner has been instructed to kill her

Jeremiah:
It's not that simple. The last thing we need is a martyr for their cause.

Freeman:
No Jeremiah. Once we have collected the blueprints from Warner, we can then create scores of Futuras. The workers will be obsolete.

Jeremiah:
Warner may prove reluctant to comply

Freeman:
Warner will see that he has got no choice. Don't worry Jeremiah.

Jeremiah:
No, sir


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Perfect Face


SCENE 3 WARNER'S LABORATORY

Perfect Face (Reprise)

Warner:
Perfect face, in this light
First impression was so right
How could I
Ever replace
The beauty of this human face?

She's taken your place down below now
There's no turning back for me
No turning back for them
Any more

Maria is strapped to a couch, she wakes up.

Maria:
Who are you?


Warner:
My name's Warner I'm an inventor

Maria:
What am I doing here?

Warner:
I discovered the way to make a perfect woman. But I couldn't find the perfect face. Until I had yours to copy

Maria:
There's a creature with my face?

Warner:
Yes. I called her Futura, but they stole her away from me. She's taken your place down below.

Maria:
Why?

Warner:
John Freeman wants to discredit you , his some is in love with you and that is something Freeman will never allow.

Maria:
I want to go back

Warner:
It's too late now your friends will kill you. Futura is going to betray you.

Maria:
Please untie me.

Warner:
I have no power to change anything. No power To change anything.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Haven't You Finished With Me?


Haven't you finished with me?

Maria:
Haven't you finished with me? Here
Mr Warner, you copy these tears
Bottle them up and sell them to my friends
Whose souls are so tortured by fear
That they've forgotten how to cry
Here, Mr Warner,
You can copy these Mr Warner
That should make you pleased Mr Warner
That should make you pleased

What have you left me inside?
Here Mr Warner, you copy this heart.
Cut it from card and paint it with my blood
Pretend it was yours from the start
So you can know the pain I feel
Now Mr Warner
You can take a bow Mr Warner
You can do it now Mr Warner
You can do it now

Warner:
You are more perfect
Than anything I can imagine
You are more perfect than anything
I could ever build
Believe me I'm touched by your innocence
I wish I could help you

Maria:
Just let me leave
And go back to the people I love

Haven't you finished with me?
Here Mr Warner you copy these arms
Copy these ropes and copy these bruises
It's you who created these charms
So you could make the angels cry
See Mr Warner
You're the one who's free Mr Warner
You're the one who's free.

Warner releases Maria. Freeman and Jeremiah enter
Freeman:
I hope I'm not disturbing you so late? What's happening here? Another experiment?


Warner:
I was just going to bed.

Jeremiah:
Got her all parcelled up have you? Where is the body?

Warner:
I have released her

Freeman:
You've what!?

Jeremiah:
Shall we kill him?

Freeman:
Now, just a moment, Jeremiah. You go too far you are too fanatical. Warner is an old and trusted friend. He is full of humanity I would like to be humane too. Put a bullet through his head!

Jeremiah shoot Warner.

Freeman:
Find maria! Stop her! Eliminate her too! If she sees my son, I lose everything. DESTROY HER! lea' i lose everything. Destroy her!

SCENE 4 THE WORKERS' ZONE

Tannoy Voice #2:
Control to all sections. The power is falling below the critical level. All sections return to the machines. We cannot guarantee your safety below 101.11. The pressure must be restored. Repeat, the pressure must be restored.

Marco:
Why did Maria give us hope? To keep us down on our knees?

2011:
Break the machines! Break them!

Groat:
What are you doing? Get back to work! You! Come 'ere!

Marco:
We've been tricked! You too Groat!

Groat:
Don't touch the machines.

Marco:
The elitists are nothing without power break the machines!

Groat:
If you destroy the machines you will destroy life!

1178:
It's too late!

Lake appears above, the robot has a knife to her throat.

Lake:
Help! She's here!


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Let's Watch the World go to the Devil


Let's watch the world go to the devil

Futura:
All this chaos, isn't it fine?
Taste the destruction, it is divine
Who gives a damn? Burn in hell
I love the burning, I love the smell

Workers:
She's the devil!

Futura(Workers):
Let's watch the world go to the devil
(Maria's insane)
Don't give a damn
(don't listen to her)
If no one survives
(The Girl is a witch)
Let's watch the world go to the devil
(She's the devil!)

Workers/Futura:
She'll/I'll laugh at metropolis burning alive

A Worker runs in panicking

Worker:
Fire! Fire! The machine room's on fire!

Worker
Let's call the control room

Groat:
The control room is sealed. No one can go in there now

Futura:
Nothing can last, nothing can live
Everyone breaks, everything gives
Children must die, waited too long
Nothing is sacred, nothing is strong

Worker :
Leave that child, Maria, or we'll kill you!

Steve arrives by lift, George arrives on foot.

Steven:
Maria, let the child go, Maria, and give me the knife.

Futura:
Pretty boy come and get me, pretty boy!

Steven:
They'll kill you, Maria!

Futura:
He is John Freeman's son. He is a traitor. Kill him!
The workers take hold of Steven, George climbs up towards Futura

George:
Give me the knife, Maria!

Futura plunges the knife into George laughing he falls back dead.

Groat:
She's not Maria. She's the devil! Let's burn the devil before she destroys us all!

Workers (Futura):
You know this girl is the devil (Children!)
She has to die if we're to survive (Children!)

Workers:
Let's watch this girl go to the devil
Into the fire, burn her alive
She's the devil! She's the devil!
She's the devil! She's the devil!
Burn!

The Workers lift Futura and plunge her still laughing, into the furnace, Stefan is helpless to stop them. The workers draw back in awe. Maria's image has disappeared the metal shape of a robot appears. The workers are frozen in horror. Maria enters and sees the carnage.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- One of those Nights


0ne of those nights

Maria:
I dreamed
That the earth turned to stone
And we walked alone
We were cold
Dust
We had all turned to dust
The machines gone to rust
We were old
Why this strange sad dream?
Why this ugly nightmare?
Is this how it ends
Or at least pretend
Why kill every flower - just for power?
Looks like one of those nights
That has no beginning
One of those nights that has no end
You search for the truth
You dream of a lover
They take all your youth
They take all your friends

Rain
In my dream there was rain
And the tears of my brothers
In pain
There was hope
With the first ray of light
We would all be all right
In the dawn
How did we begin?
When we stood together?
Will we find again
What we've known forever?
We still have the power
We can right the wrong here
There is one more chance
No more time to fight - we need light!

No more time for the nights
That have no beginning
Gone are the nights that have no end
Calm is the force
That looks to the future
Strong is the cause
The love of my friends
Strong is the cause
Strong to the end

Marco rushes in

Marco:
The fire is out of control, number six is shut down.

Groat:
I've opened the floodgates.

27101:
You'll drown us all.

Groat:
We must try and save the machines.

2010:
The pipes are bursting in the heat. The water level is rising.

Steven:
We all must go up to the city I know a place that we could hide together.

Groat:
We must save the machines.

Worker two:
To hell with them. To the lifts!

Groat:
You can't use the lifts. The guards will shoot you on sight.

Steven:
But we'll be dead if we stay here. Everyone try to get to level 10 and we'll join you there.

Tannoy Voice
Warning to all workers, warning to all workers. The air filters are no-longer functioning, the oxygen supply has been exhaused. Warning to all workers. The atmosphere in the machine rooms can no longer support life.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Requiem


Requiem

Workers:
Day after day we worked on these machines
This is what we called life
All that we could call life
The final hours of metropolis
Death has come to those below
As to those above
Pressure was all there was to think about
One oh one point one we must maintain
Or someone pays
Supplying the power for metropolis
They work us night and day

SCENE 5 FREEMAN'S OFFICE

Freeman:
What has happened? Where is Futura?

Jeremiah:
Futura went out of control. She killed Steven.

Freeman:
Killed Steven? Where is Futura?

Jeremiah:
The workers burned her in the furnace. Now that Steven is dead I will always be loyal. I will serve you all my life.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Metropolis


Metropolis

Freeman:
Do you know what it took
To build a city
One like this
Metropolis?
Starting with nothing
But the rubble and
End up with this
Metropolis?
Hell
A life born from hell
A world built from strength
And wisdom
And skill
But only held together
By my sheer will
Yes, I built this city
Out of the ashes
With nothing but dreams
With nothing else but dreams

We are the keeper of the magic dreams
The singer of the glorious songs
This is the land we love above all else
Whatever else, we'll keep it strong

Duty, without me this city
Would go off the rails
Sink into the ground
Disintegrate. Run down.
Below
They work down below
And if some must suffer so others can soar
That's how a city grows

My pride won't let me go on
I built it and I can destroy it at will
My son and city have gone
Anger, this rage deep inside me
Oh, why has my one son
Been taken from me?
How could I let this be?

I'm going mad
I m giving credence to
Emotions they're
Just frivolous
It had come down to this
The only thing that had been sure
Is we endure
And now it's gone
I can't go on

Freeman breaks down. Metropolis explodes and is destroyed. Steven, Maria, the children and the survivors appear from below one by one from a manhole in the centre of the stage. It is snowing and the children catch it in their hands in wonder.


Metropolis soundtrack lyrics -- Finale


Finale

Steven:
This was the vision
This was the city
Shimmering tower
Arrogant power
Banished to darkness
Home of the living
Grave of the dying
Alone now
Be strong now

Maria:
Hold back the night
The darkness fades towards the dawn
We will all fly high someday
Though days were dark
And nothing came to light the way

Maria (Steve):
We will fly far
(We will fly far... )

Steven:
Away!
They were working for the devil
The city lights were fuelled in hell

Maria:
The city lights turn now to darkness.

Steven and Maria:
But we will survive brightly alive

Children:
Oh my what a beautiful city
Built our their fathers
A gift to their sons

Children (Steve):
There's hope now
(sunlight)
That we'll make it better
(Brightly shining sun)

Children (Maria):
The best that a man can become
(Faraway so ... )

Steven (Maria) {Children}:
If we could just see the sun
(Hold back the night )
{We are the children of metropolis }
If we could just see the light
(Look towards the light)
{We are the children}
Steven (Maria):
We will all fly high
(We will fly high)

Company:
Though days are dark
And nothing comes to light the way
We will all fly high today
