Did You Hear It?
(Cudney/Myregaard) RS: Did you hear it?! There it is! It’s the sound of FREEDOM! BS: Did you hear it? There it is. It’s the sound of DOOM. RS: I can almost see the fresh air blowing. BS: I can almost smell the chill of that room. RS: Did you hear it?! There it is! It’s the sound of FREEDOM! BS: Did you hear it? There it is. It’s the sound of DOOM. RS: Soon I’ll be out with sky above me. BS: Soon I’ll be down in my daily tomb. RS: Did you hear it?! There it is! It’s the sound of FREEDOM! BS: Did you hear it? There it is. It’s the sound of DOOM. All: Every day we must continue to drag ourselves in and out of work. And every day we must remember that we will survive this heavy dark. Every day we steel our spirits against the impending cold despair. And every day our faith is tested waiting for the moment we...come up... for... air. Did you hear it?!!! |

The Sweet Life (Mr Bobby)
We have worked hard, toiled and struggled all our lives We’ve done our part our moment has arrived A gift from the gods, a sweetness heretofore unknown We give it our lauds our work can be postponed Chorus Give us the sweetness give us the life Receiving the maple lets us live our lives right Give us the sweet, sweet life We’re satisfied, though Gluskabe’s not amused Where is our pride he says the sweetness has been abused Chorus Understand the sweetness is part of our life Being one with the maple let’s us live our lives right Give us the sweet, sweet life The creator brought rains, now our brains are not confused We must work through pains... the maple can't be misused Chorus We must work for the sweetness we must work for our lives The gift of the maple guides us to what’s right Let us earn the sweet, sweet life |
You Matter to Me
(verses sung by factory workers in a sarcastic tone) CHORUS (All): I’m waiting for “Thank You.” Been hoping for “Thank You.” Every now and then. Maybe once a day. I’ll know that I’ve been noticed when I hear someone say “Thank you. You matter to me.” Verses (FW’s): Thank you for your humor. Thank you for your quirks. Thanks for getting up each day and coming here to work. Thank you for this great job and all these nifty tools. Thanks for clearly posting regulations and rules. CHORUS (All) I’m waiting for “Thank You.” Been hoping for “Thank You.” Every now and then. Maybe once a day. I’ll know that I’ve been noticed when I hear someone say “Thank you. You matter to me.” |

You Matter to Me - Reprise
BRIDGE: (All FW’s): Gratitude’s a funny thing. It takes so little time. A single word is all you need, yet “thanks” can slip your mind. Look around and see if you... know anyone who might feel in the dark and with a thanks... you offer them some light. CHORUS 2 (All): I’d like to say thank you. Been meaning to thank you. You have made a difference, in your own special way. Because of your existence, I’ve had a better day. Thank you. You matter to me. VERSE (All FW’s): Thanks for your commitment, for your good attitude. Thanks for your good manners, when you could have been rude. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your time. Thanks for always being there, Next to me in line. CHORUS 2 (All): I’d like to say thank you. Been meaning to thank you. You have made a difference, in your own special way. Because of your existence, I’ve had a better day. Thank you. You matter to me. |
