(ACT ONE)
A BIG STEP
Well the new years begun
Looking forward to some
Of my best days-
Yeah, I'm ready for a big change
Yeah, it's time to take a big step.
I've got no more excuses
My conscience refuses
To answer-
me...
Says, it's time to take a big step
Yeah,it's time to take a big step.
Well the panic sets in
I feel the fear rushin-
To my feet...
But I've gotta take that big step
I've just gotta take that big step.
I start thinkin of you
Of a love that is tru-ly
The real thing...
Are we ready for that big step?
Are we gonna make that big step?
You and me...
Well your heads filled with
doubt
You could reason 'em out
If you wanted to...
Make some room and take a big step
Go ahead and make a big step
With me...
And in any big race
When you're settin the pace
I must warn you...
If you're gonna take a big step
There's a chance with every big step
You might fall...
Well, somebody says you look
troubled
Can I help you?
Are you ready for that big step?
Are you able to take that big step?
My friend?
And when God finally calls
An you can no longer stall
At his gate...
Are you ready for that big step?
Are we ready for that big step?
My friend?

ETERNITY WATCHES
To see a world
In a grain of sand.
Or, hold infinity
In the palm of your hand.
While every night,
And every morn
Some to misery are born....
Eternity watches...
Eternity waits...
Eternity listens...
There at the gate.
Eternity answers...
Eternity sings...
Eternity happens...
In every being...
And every mornin
And every night
Some are born
To sweet delight.
But some are born
To endless night...
Eternity watches...
Eternity waits...
Eternity marches...
You thru the gait.
To be,
Eternally happy
Or Eternally sad
I'm Eternally grateful
For all that I've had.
Eternity watches-
Eternity waits-
Eternity listens-
There at the gate...At the gate...At the gate...
Eternity marches...Eternity
sings
Eternity listens...To every scream...
Eternity calls...Eternity watches...
Eternity calls...Eternity marches...Eternity calls...

A Rock Musical by Daniel Sage
(ACT TWO)
CHANCES
You climb in a little boat
Shove it off,
And then you float...
That's what they call takin' chances.
And if you're a lucky one-
You'll wind up with a Galleon
Full of gold and spicy romances.
But Chances are all that you
get-
Chances come once-
but there's always regret.
Yes, Chances are all that you get
Chances are places and the people you've met.
Who's the bait?
Who's the lure?
Neither party's ever sure.
But boy ain't it fun takin' chances?
You might end up all alone,
You may end up in a home-
Cursing age and circumstances...
But Chances are all that you
get-
Chances come once-
but there's always regret.
Chances are all that you get-
Chances are makin' the move or the bet.
Do you think Columbus knew-
Way back in 1492?
When he crossed an ocean on chances?
And what of the Pilgrims then-
And all of their misgivings?
How many died taking chances?
Talk is cheap
So be a do-er-
A risk-all Entrepreneur.
Those are the ones takin Chances...
Cuz,
Chances are all that you get-
Chances come once then there's only regret.
Chances are all that you'll get-
Chances are the people and places you've left...
And what are my Chances you'll
say-
Well what does it matter with so much at stake?
Chances-are all that you get...
BORED AGAIN
It all came too easy-
Dropped from the sky.
The lifetime achievement-
To never be-
Never be-
Bored Again.
You've done all the research-
Gathered the toys.
Adopted a motto-
To never be-
Never be-
Bored Again.
To never be
Never be
Bored Again.
This feels like a day dream-
Her voice far away.
And here you are wishing-
To never be, never be
Bored Again...
There's not much to hold you
At-tention is low
Then to be- Endlessly
Bored Again...
Bored Again...Bored Again...
There is the beginning-
There's also an end.
The desire in between is-
To never be , never be-
Bored again....
Love is a reflex-
Hope is a drive-
All this blitzkrieg bonanza
Oh, To never be , never be
Bored Again...
There is a beginning
There's also an end...
The ultimate wish is-
To never be, never be
Bored Again.
And here you are
Bored again.
You're Bored again...
BREATHING
A dying man-
Has much to learn.
Not much time-
And no where to turn.
It's very sad,
To watch a dying man.
When all he knows-
Could be lost again.
It always comes down to just
Breathing...
It's never been more than just
Breathing...
And all he wants of life is
to be
Breathing again.
Not hooked up to some machine
That don't give a damn.
He'd love to get up off this bed
And walk out a man...
A dying man-
Will feel such pain.
When he looks back
And he's done nothing...
The heart beats on-
The will is strong-
And life now is only just
Breathing...
It's never been more than just
Breathing...
He falls to his knees
and he looks to the sky-
He knows that it's more than luck
that's kept him alive-
He'll never take the breathing
for granted again...
He swears to himself-
to do all that he can.
Hell take all their advice-
he should've listened to them.
The doctors we're right-
now he's paying attention...
Keep Breathing.... Must keep Breathing...
Oh what he would'nt give now
To be Breathing again...
And not hooked up to some machine
That don't give a damn.
He'd love to get up off this bed
And walk out a man...
He's learned so much about
Breathing...
It's never been more than just
Breathing...
Our most precious gift is just
Breathing...
The heart beats on-
The will is strong-
He may have years-
He may have none...
He may have none...
Keep Breathing.... Must keep Breathing...
ISN'T THAT LIFE?
Live too long and somethin's
bound to happen
Get too careful, somethings bound to break.
So much care avoiding every problem
More responsibility than I can take.
But Isn't That Life?
Isn't that life?
Beautiful life?
Isn't that how it has to be, life?
Isn't That Life?
Isn't that life?
Isn't that Wild and wonderful?
Cruel and colorful, life?
Just when time has healed up
all the old wounds
Some new complications setting in
How I've earned this punishment I don't know
The deepest scars have opened up again.
CHORUS
Isn't that what you're livin
for?
What you're givin for?
What you're hopin for?
Isn't that what you're waitin
for?
What you're prayin for?
What you're stayin for?
OLD & GRAY
Someday, I'm gonna be old
Someday, I'm gonna be Old and Gray.
Someday, I'm gonna feel cold
Someday, I'm gonna be Old and Gray.
Sitting in a wheelchair,
Wondering if my kids care...
Thinking back of what I've done...
Staring out a window,
As nurses come and go,
Wishing I could kiss the blonde one.
Someday, I'm gonna be old
Someday, I'm gonna be Old and Gray.
Someday, I'm gonna feel cold
Someday, I'm gonna be Old and Gray.
Then it won't matter
How much I saved up.
If I managed to save
Pennies for a rainy day.
It won't matter I can't use them
I can't use them anyway...
Someday I'm gonna be old
Someday I'm gonna be Old and Gray.
Someday I'm gonna feel cold
Someday I'm gonna be Old and Gray.
Someday, my friends will be
old
Someday, we're gonna be Old and Gray.
Staring out the windows,
Watching nurses come and go,
Wishing we could kiss the blonde ones.
Worried about a weak heart,
Struggling with a weak mind,
While ministers are trying to save our souls,
Save our souls, Save our souls...
Some day I'm gonna be old...
Some day I'm gonna be Old and
Gray.
