1. Hymn Overture

Instrumental


2. Hymn

Valley's deep and the mountain so high
If you wanna see god you've gotta move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly; you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear god, you might not come down

Jesus came down from heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
The people said it was a virgin birth

He told great stories of the lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
And said he was the saviour of us all

For this we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in god alone you soar
As if to say in god alone we fly

Valley's deep and the mountain so high
If you wanna see god you've gotta move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly; you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear god, you might not come down


3. Sogni

Dopo tutti questi anni
È sogno o realtà
Sorridimi
Ed il mio cuor più svelta va
Il tuo serà
Lo sguardo tuo mi fa sognar'
E mi fa pensar'
Ai tempi con te
Adesso sento il mio cuor che chiede piano

Amore mio dove sei stato
Nei sogni io ti ho cercato
Giorno o notte mi sei mancato
Sogni già persi, ora li vivrò
Gioia, oh, dove sei stata
Sogni già persi, ora li vivrò

Dopo tutti questi anni
È sogno o realtà
Tu guardami
Ed il mio mondo cambierà
Il tuo sarà
Questi occhi tuoi mi fan volar'
E mi fan tornar
Ai tempi con te
Adesso sento il mio cuor che chiede piano

Amore mio dove sei stato
Nei sogni io ti ho cercato
Giorno o notte mi sei mancato
Sogni già persi, ora li vivrò
Gioia, oh, dove sei stata
Sogni, con te li vivrò

Amore mio dove sei stato
Miei sogni io ti ho cercato
Giorno o notte mi sei mancato
Sogni già persi, ora li vivrò
Gioia, oh, dove sei stata
Sogni già persi, ora li vivrò

4. Sky And Sand

In the nighttime
When the world is at its rest
You will find me
At the place I love the best
Dancin', shoutin'
Flying to the moon
Don't have to worry
'Cause I'll be come back soon

And we build up castles
In the skies and in the sand
Design our own world
Ain't nobody understand
I found myself alive
In the palm of your hand
As long as we are flyin'
All this world ain't got no end
All this world ain't got no end

In the daytime
You will find me by your side
Trying to do my best
Trying to make things right
When it all turns wrong
There is no fault but mine
But it won't hit hard
You let me shine


5. Canto Per Noi

Canto per noi
Di una generazione che ha
Senza pietà
Rinnegato la sua umanità

Canto per noi
Della terra e dei figli suoi
Canto per chi
Chi si sente diverso
Chi amava chi ha perso per sempre
Il bambino che è in lui

Perchè l'alba verrà
La speranza si risveglierà
E nel cielo in noi
Una musica nuova comincerà

Canto per noi
L'inconscienza e la felicità
Canto per noi
Una musica nuova comincerà

6. Fly To Paradise

And all she ever thinks about
Is being any other place than this
Cause she remembers having wings
But she's forgotten what it's like to feel
A paradise of bliss

And all I want to do is fly
Just fly
And all I want to do is fly
Just fly

I want to fly
Into the sky
I want to fly to paradise
All through the night
Into the light
I want to fly to paradise

Fly to paradise

And all she ever thinks about
Is memories of swinging through the sky
'Cause she remembers having wings
But she's forgotten what it feels like to fly

And all I want to do is fly
Just fly
And all I want to do is fly
Just fly

I want to fly
Into the sky
I want to fly to paradise
All through the night
Into the light
I want to fly to paradise

When you look into the sky
You might catch her flying by
Flying by
All she wants to do is fly
On her way to paradise
Paradise


7. Gia Nel Seno (La Storia Di Lucrezia)

Già nel seno
Comincia, comincia, comincia compir
Questo ferro
I duri, i duri, uffizii

Già nel seno
Comincia, comincia, comincia compir
Questo ferro
I duri, i duri, uffizii

Sento ch'il cor
Si scuote dal dolor
Della vicina morte

Già nel seno
Comincia, comincia, comincia compir
Questo ferro
I duri, i duri, uffizii
Uffizii

8. Follow Me

Come with me to the islands
Come, my love, follow, follow me
Under the lure of pure enchantment
Love will unfold her golden mystery

All night long I will hold you
Till the stars slip into the sea
I'll weave a crown of rainbows in your hair
Many a moon I'll spend with thee
Love is waiting, follow, follow me

Come with me to the islands
Come, my love, follow, follow me
Under the lure of pure enchantment
Love will unfold her golden mystery
Love is waiting; follow, follow me
Love is waiting; follow, follow me


9. You

Every day gets better cause I know you
My devotion grows by the hour
And I'm proud to show you
My love's enduring
So strong, so true
So reassuring
I owe all I am to you

Like a star from heaven
You are here to guide me
I can feel the goodness of you
Like a fire inside me
An inspiration
To see me through
For all creation
I owe all I am to you


10. Better Is One Day

How lovely is
Your dwelling place
O Lord almighty

My soul longs
And even faints
For you

For here my heart
Is satisfied
Within your presence

I see beneath
The shadows of
Your wings

Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
Thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask
And I would seek
To see your beauty

To find you in
The place your glory dwells

My heart and flesh cry out
To you, the living god
Your spirit's water for my soul

I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to you
I will draw near to you


11. Tu Che M'hai Preso Il Cuor

Tu che m'hai preso il cuor
Sarai per me il solo amor
No, non ti scorderò
Vivrò per te
Ti sognerò

Te o nessuno mai più
Ormai per me
Come il sole sei tu
Lontan da te
È morir d'amor
Perché sei tu che m'hai rubato il cuor

Tu che m'hai preso il cuor
Sarai per me il solo amor
No, non ti scorderò
Vivrò per te
Ti sognerò

Te o nessuno mai più
Ormai per me
Come il sole sei tu
Lontan da te
È morir d'amor
Perché sei tu che m'hai rubato il cuor

12. Miracle (Sarah's Version)

Ci sarà un miracolo, sì

Distruggila
Distruggi la paura
Per liberarti
Dall'ombra tua

Distruggi i tuoi
Distruggi i tuoi pensieri
Per liberarti
Dalla tua colpa

L'amore verrà
L'amore verrà
E vincerà
Il tuo dolore

Distruggi la paura
Per liberarti
Dall'ombra tua

Ci sarà un miracolo, sì

I sogni tuoi
I sogni tuoi viventi

Nessuno ti sfiderà ormai
Ahhhhh...

13. Time To Say Goodbye

When I am alone I sit and dream
And when I dream the words are missing
Yes, I know that in a room so full of light
That all the light is missing
But I don't see you with me, with me

Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room
Through the door you've opened
Close, inside of me the light you see
That you met in the darkness

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
It's time to say goodbye

When you were so far away
I sat alone and dreamt of the horizon
Then I know that you were here with me, with me
Building bridges over land and sea
Shine a blinding light for you and me
To see, for us to be

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
Without true light of my own

With you I will go
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
Anymore


• Done (Pop Version)

I have seen
New times have come to feel in touch
With what is real
The mission's calling each one of us
One blue sky
For us to share
For us to fly

And all the things left undone
Shall be done, done, done, done
And all the things left undone
Shall be done, done, done, done
Done, done, done

You're a star
You are the future that travels far
Touch and bring
Millions of hearts to share and sing
Hopes are high
A new beginning
For you and I

And all the things left undone
Shall be done, done, done, done
And all the things left undone
Shall be done, done, done, done
Done, done, done

And on and on we will go on
Until we master our desire
To make this world
A better place

And all the things left undone
Will be done, done, done, done
And all the things left undone
Will be done, done, done, done
And all the things left undone
Will be done, done, done, done
And all the things left undone
Will be done, done, done, done
Done, done, done


• Sleep Tight

We saw Fantasia in a far off land
Cry for the living in the desert sand
They waited underneath a splintered moon
To hear the beating of an ancient tune

Sleep tight
The reaper's waiting in the wings
Sleep tight
To reap a man of many things
Sleep tight
Look through the eyes of destiny
Sleep tight
We find the kingdom but He holds the key

I met a seer who believes and dreams
Our blood is running through eternal streams
Dust you'll return and dust you shall remain
Cause that's the only heart that beats and beats again

Sleep tight
The reaper's waiting in the wings
Sleep tight
To reap a man of many things
Sleep tight
Look through the eyes of destiny
Sleep tight
We find the kingdom but He holds the key

Sleep tight
The reaper's waiting in the wings
Sleep tight
To reap a man of many things
Sleep tight
Look through the eyes of destiny
Sleep tight
We find the kingdom but He holds the key

Sleep tight
The reaper's waiting in the wings
Sleep tight
To reap a man of many things
Sleep tight
Look through the eyes of destiny
Sleep tight
We find the kingdom but He holds the key

Sleep tight
