God on high, hear my prayer In my need, you have always been there He is young, he's afraid Let him rest, heaven blessed
Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home
He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son The summers die, one by one How soon they fly, on and on And I am old and will be gone
\'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables\'
[MICHAEL BALL] There's a grief that can't be spoken There's a pain goes on and on Empty chairs at empty tables Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of revolution Here it was they lit the flame Here they sang about 'tomorrow' And tomorrow never came
From the table in the corner They could see a world reborn And they rose with voices ringing And I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung Became their last communion On the lonely barricade at dawn
\'I Dreamed a Dream\'
[BOE] I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living
[BALL] I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving
[BOE] But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder
[BALL] As they tear your hope apart
[BOTH] As they turn your dream to shame
I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
