We had the opportunity to see this opera many years ago. It follows the story of Les Miserables very well. Ruthie Henshall - I Dreamed A Dream (Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert - Royal Albert Hall)
There Was a Life - Trans Siberian Orchestra [Tran-Do] There was a life Was there before But somehow here upon this night It now means more And all those words She tried to say I've now forgotten Or they've somehow slipped away And in this darkness Is there salvation Is there forgiveness For hesitation Can someone tell me Can someone say when The writer of this story Will just tell us how it all will end And somewhere on this night There's a wave on the ocean That crashes on shores Where no one can see The tides and the currents Decide every motion From where they are now To where they will be It cradles them all For they all are its children If one drop disappears It is instantly missed And after each wave Has joined up with the shoreline It returns to the sea For that is its one wish There was a life Was there before But in the darkness of this night It now means more To be so close To be so near To see the water there within A young child's tear And in our blindness Do we move onward And cling to the lies That we have harbored We could not admit We were mistaken But if we don't do it now Dear God could you please come Down here And tell me when And somewhere on this night There's a wave on the ocean That crashes on shores Where no one can see The tides and the currents Decide every motion From where they are now To where they will be It cradles them all For they all are its children If one drop disappears It is instantly missed And after each wave Has joined up with the shoreline It returns to the sea For that is its one wish In the dead of the night Tell me what do you see Will you close your eyes child And just listen to me And remember this now Hear these words that I say As your story appears At the end of the day For my meeting with death Though it has been delayed I have run my hands over The end of his blade Though the cut wasn't fatal Even though it was deep Well that wound's never healed And the blood it still seeps Are you scared of your life Are you scared of your death Though that day will arrive Well it hasn't come yet For the days turn to months And the months turn to years As I see them all now Through a prism of tears But don't fear tomorrow And don't fear the night It's where God repairs sorrows That enter your life The remains of your life The remains of the day Well protect every hour Don't give them away For each evening we sleep And each morning we arise But you're not the same man That's the way it's devised For there're parts of yourself The soul decides to keep And there're parts of yourself That the soul does release With some changes so small That they cannot be seen But death is like sleep With a longer dream Are you scared of your life Are you scared of your death Though that day will arrive Well it hasn't come yet As for all those mistakes That you've made in your life Must they stay as they are Or can we make them right On this night take my hand Keep me near keep me close And if I should die first Could I not be your ghost But if later in life We should happen to meet Would you keep me so near You could hear my heartbeat There are reasons to live There are reasons to die But the end's not the end While you're still alive Alive Alive While you're still a... There was a life Was there before

A person without music is a lost soul. ( Gen 4:21, 31:27 LITV ) A Psalm. O sing to Jehovah a new song, for He has done wondrous things; His right hand and His holy arm has saved Him. 2 Jehovah has revealed His salvation; He unveiled His righteousness to the eyes of the nations. 3 He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Make a joyful noise to Jehovah, all the earth; break out and rejoice and sing praise. 5 Sing praise to Jehovah with the lyre; with the lyre and the voice of a song. 6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn, make a joyful noise before Jehovah the King. 7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it; the world, and those who live in it. 8 Let the rivers clap their hands; let the heights shout for joy together 9 before Jehovah; for He comes to judge the earth; with righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples in uprightness. ( Psalms 98:1-9 LITV ) For the critical person who wishes to quote Dan 3:5, and 3:10, those are of a different context. I will post one song a day; 7 songs. Stick with it, you may get the jest of it.
