lyrics

Narrator: Painters of the galaxy massage their canvas as the colors bleed upon their glorious sky. And as the fiery inferno inches over the horizon, earthly darkness explodes in a crimson spectacle of sheer glory.

Soliloquy:
There's a story that rings true
For him, her, me, and you
It's a tale of a struggle to survive
It's sad but it's true
God only knows how the story all goes
For each woman and man in this crazy old world
Despite our similarities we've got our own destinies
So we keep moving in our separate ways

But what can happen when a poor boy has got no friends of his own? Or when a woman's got a boulder sitting 'top of her shoulders? 'Tis when the story is done.

Now, there's a tale you've got to hear
So lend me your ears
And open your mind
Because you may well find
That it's all happening to you
And that this story is true
And that your life has treated you unkind
But my friends you've got to keep in mind
That the good times will happen some time
And that beautiful big old scarlet star will shine
