pulp musicals - through a glass lyrics

Loading...

narrator:
it wasn’t hollow inside the sphere
it was designed for durability
it was filled with pillars and beams
then divided into sections
the walls were brick, the floors as well
to maximize stability
hundreds and hundreds of supports
and every inch required inspections

herschel:
chamber thirteen, check
samuel, everything looks okay
samuel:
i can’t believe we’re gonna be
done in a few days

narrator:
samuel stopped and stared
at the only things not made of brick
thе satellite had two windows
made of quartz twеlve inches thick

samuel:
why install a window
when the sphere will travel empty

herschel:
this sphere will have no passengers
but someday, there might be

samuel:
i can only imagine the view

herschel:
imagining’s what you do

samuel:
a trait i share with you
herschel:
it runs in our families

samuel:
your father must be very proud of you following
in his footsteps

herschel:
do you know why i kept this experiment a secret?

samuel:
why?

herschel:
so my father wouldn’t know if i failed. (beat)
when i step into this satellite, i feel, for the first
time, that my footsteps are my own

samuel:
i’ve felt that way since we left new york

herschel:
that much is obvious. you’ve laid more bricks
than any of us, working your fingers to the bone

samuel:
because this is important to me, too
herschel:
i sense it’s about more than the satellite

samuel:
through a glass, darkly
i see myself, partially
with pieces left forgotten or unseen
is there a way to wipe the surface clean
are these my mother’s eyes
my father’s smile
speak to me, it’s been a while
would you trust what you see
when looking through a glass at me

herschel:
through a glass, darkly
i see myself, starkly
with armor that’s been comfortable to wear
underneath, is anybody there
are these my father’s dreams
his hopes and fears
is that people want to hear
the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
when they hold a glass to me

samuel, herschel:
so many years spent in the atmosphere
neglecting what happens here
on the earth, in my brain
with the pieces just out of the frame

herschel:
i’ll build my own path

samuel:
i’ll build my way back

samuel, herschel:
to more than i thought i could be
high enough to finally see things clearly
through a glass, darkly
we judge ourselves, harshly

herschel:
the road we take

samuel:
the choice we make

samuel, herschel:
is the view

samuel:
i have such a long way to go

herschel:
whatever the distance + we’ll travel together
