ALW lines to live your life by...

[nijil-xnv]

So what are some of your favourite lyrics/lines in the ALW musical? Words that just make you decide, yes, those words call to me and wrap themselves inside me like no others?
Or something to use as a credo, or philosophy.

There are so many for me, but I thought of this one as I was listening to it today:

"Try to forgive,
Teach me to live.
Give me the strength to try..."

And of course:

"hide your face so the world will never find you."

And of course:

"hide your face so the world will never find you."

Agreed, I've always thought that those lines sum up the entire theme of the musical, mainly the tragic life of our poor, unhappy Erik.

I must say I also like the lines to MOTN - they really convey the importance and overwhelming power of music:

"Softly, deftly, music shall surround you
Hear it, feel it, closing in around you
Open up your mind let your fantasies unwind...

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night."

Also, the lyrics to Notes I make me giggle ALL. THE. TIME:

"Who would have the gall to send this?
Someone with a puerile brain!
These are both signed O.G. -
Who the hell is he?!
Opera Ghost!
It's really not amusing!
He's abusing his position!
In addition he wants money!
He's a funny sort of spectre
To expect a large retainer!
Nothing plainer, he is clearly quite insane!"

LOL.
