Lyrics for The Finale by Barbra Streisand:
{{Instrumental}}Lyrics for WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO US NOW? by Barbra Streisand:
As we get older, there’s nothing surerThe rich get richer, the poor get poorer
Those small misfortunes all start to pile up
And it gets harder to keep a smile up
But we keep hoping, while all dreams linger
That we’ll get lucky one fine day
Then once again fate gives us the finger
Once again with a sigh
We look up to the sky
With a quizzical eye
And quietly say:
What are they doing to us now?
What’s the latest ruin to us now?
Someone up there is getting careless
What are they doing to us now?
Anyhow, what are they doing to us now?
Makes no difference if a man is slave or king born
He always is to pain and suffering
Naked, he’s pushed out his new life to begin
Ain’t or not
The awkward way that he came in?
When did he understand just why he’s here
Clap comes from the dark
A big smack on the rear
From then on continuous without a stop
Ah, life’s the same old story
Clop, clop, clop, clop, clop, clop
Science keeps advancing always on the run
All they seem to do is take from life the fun
Smoking, on and on,
It wears your heart away
Drinking shrinks for you the level day by day
Eating makes you fat
You weighted down to check
Sex you do, you don’t, you’ll have a nervous wreck
Future generations we are all to one
Hey, then do yourself a favor: don’t get born,
Don’t get born, don’t get born!
What are they doing to us now?
What’s the latest ruin to us now?
Careless, what are they doing to us now?
What are they doing…
What are they doing…
What are they doing…
What are they doing…
What are they doing to us now?
Lyrics for Ribbons Down My Back by Barbra Streisand:
Irene molly:I’ll be wearing ribbons down my back this summer
Blue & green and streaming in the yellow sky
So if someone special comes my way this summer
He might notice me passing by
And so i’ll try to make it easier to find me
In the silliness of july
Because a breeze might stir a rainbow up behind me
That might happen to catch the gentleman’s eye
And he might smile and take me by the hand
This summer
Making me recall how lovely love can be
And so i will proudly wear
Ribbons down my back
Shining in my hair
That he might notice me!
Lyrics for A Piece Of Sky by Barbra Streisand:
Verse:Tell me where
Where is it written
What it is i’m meant to be?
That i can’t dare…
It all began the day i found
That from my window
I could only see
A piece of sky.
I stepped outside and looked around,
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high.
The time had come
(papa, can you hear me?)
To try my wings
(papa, are you near me?)
And even thought it seemed at any moment i could fall,
I felt the most
(papa, can you see me?)
Amazing things,
(can you understand me?)
The things you can’t imagine
If you’ve never flown at all.
Though it’s safer to stay on the ground,
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
No matter where i go-
There’ll be mem’ries that tug at my sleeve
But there will also be
More to question yet more to believe.
(oh tell me where-
Where is the someone who will turn to look at me
And want to sahre
My ev’ry sweet-imagined possibility?)
The more i live – the more i learn.
The more i learn – the more i realize
The less i know.
Each step i take-
(papa, i’ve a voice now!)
Each page i turn-
(papa, i’ve a choice now!)
Each mile i travel only means
The more i have to go.
What’s wrong with wanting more?
If you can fly – then soar!
With all there is – why settle for
Just a piece of sky?
Papa, i can hear you…
Papa, i can see you…
Papa, i can feel you…
Papa, watch me fly!

Lyrics for Circle by Barbra Streisand:
Some saythe walls betweeen us stand so tall
they don’t see there’s just one sun
shining on us all
I say
we each choose roads to call our own
but none of us is travelling through
this universe alone
and this circle
just goes on and on
it began before us
it will be here when we’ve gone
and this circle
just goes on and on and on
connecting our humanity
joining me to you and you to me
seasons
keep spinning on the wheel of time
we stand we fall
we struggle up
the mountains we must climb
different dreams
may colour what we see ahead
but our lives are strong together
on a common thread
and this circle (circle)
just goes on and on (on and on)
it began before us
it will be here when we’ve gone
and this circle
just goes on and on and on
connecting our humanity
joining me to you and you to me
around and round and round and round we go
around and round and round we go
love and learn and change and grow
round and round and round we go
and this circle
touches everyone
as it crosses every boundry
underneath the sun
and this circle
just goes on and on
it began before us
it will be here when we’re gone
yes this circle
just goes on and on and on
someday we will come to see
I’m joined to you and you to me
