Jerry Herman — Finale Dear World

[ENSEMBLE] Someone has beaten you, dear world Someone has blinded you, dear world And those who love you defiantly insist That you get off that critical list One person can beat a drum And make enough noise for ten One person can blow a horn And that little boom And that little blare Can make a hundreds others care If one person can beat a drum And one person can blow a horn If one person can hold a torch Then one person can change the world! If music is no longer lovеly If laughter is no longer lilting If lovers arе no longer loving Then I don't want to know My memories all are exciting My memories all are enchanted My memories burn in my head with a steady glow So if, my friends, if love is dead I don't want to know Here's from the whole human race, world You're not a terminal case, world We're not quite ready to trade you for the moon So be a dear world Dear world Dear world And get well soon!
