Act 1

Verona

The Prince: If you think you've seen it all Then you had better think again Don't care how many books you've read Or how many lands you've seen You're still not prepared for this Don't be misled by pretty girls Or flowered gardens everywhere You'll soon see what I mean The family called Capulet Will not forgive and can't forget And the family called Montague Is as unforgiving too This is Verona, you're in Verona Where hatred is a way of life And you can cut it with a knife The hate keeps flowing in their veins It is more powerful than chains And they are scared to turn their backs It isn't prudent to relax Not in Verona, lovely Verona The population is unique Nobody turns the other cheek When will they get it in their heads? Their dreams will never leave their beds Until there is some compromise And peace illuminates the skies In Verona On the surface all is well Heaven on earth it would appear A second look and you'll see hell It's no picnic to live here Maybe the wound's too deep and raw Archaic wounds take long to heal

And Montagues and Capulets Seem to thrive on their ordeal What tragic price must we pay For bad blood to be washed away? It's all too sad to contemplate And it's all because of hate In my Verona, perfect Verona Two families with an ancient grudge That all their praying cannot budge An endless battle of two foes And neither one can find repose As families swim against the tide Come meet some people who reside In Verona, charming Verona This one is called Benvolio And that's his friend Mercutio These two are always in accord But here comes Tybalt with sword But in this town I am the law It's tough 'cos everyone's at war Mercutio: He's mad, we are the law here Benvolio: We are too wild to be controlled Tybalt: I am too brave, I am too bold Chorus: In Verona, come to Verona The population is unique Nobody turns the other cheek The hate keeps flowing in our veins Hate is more powerful than chains No wonder danger's in the air The enemy is everywhere

Born to Hate

Lady Capulet: We're born to hate Soon as we leave Our mother's wombs Hate's in the air And to survive We breathe its fumes We love to hate Hatred's the third word that we learn Mama, Papa And after that it's hatred's turn We're born to hate It's like a serpent in the soul We're so consumed It seems the serpent's in control We love to hate Lady Montague: We are the same I too can see Things I despise Year after year Poisonous hate Burns from your eyes There's so much hate Day after day the children grieve Just look at them And see the legacy we leave In every street A broken heart, a blood-stained sword We fight to win But it's a fight without reward Lady Capulet: You've paid the price Look at your face Hate's in each pore of your wretched skin Another day, another death You'll pass it on to your next of kin Lady Montague: It makes us old before our time Hate is a whore, a plague, a curse

I doubt if we will live to see Hate disappear from the universe Both: It makes us old before our time Hate is a whore, a plague, a curse Lady Capulet: I doubt if we will live to see Both: Hate disappear from the universe Ooooh... Chorus: We're born to hate It's like a serpent in the soul We're so consumed It seems the serpent's in control

All Days Are The Same Without Love

Romeo: I feel I'm killing time, my life is slipping by There has to be someone who feels the same as I I long to find a love that's deep and strong and true There has to be someone who wants the same things too As soon as I find her My world will start turning But real love is elusive That's something I'm learning Juliet: They say I'm very young, I'm going through a phase And I must learn to curb my adolescent ways There must be more to life than what my eyes have seen But every yesterday becomes a might-have-been I am longing For someone to hold me And tell me while we're dancing

What no one has told me Romeo: All days are the same without love Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays Juliet: Strange how nothing ever changes Summers, springs and winters drift by Romeo & Juliet: All days are the same without love When no one's beside you Who cares if the moon seems closer Or the stars seem brighter All days are the same without love But with love the days grow Each one's an adventure Anything can happen No heart ever ages Each day's been created For you All days are the same without love But with love the days grow Each one's an adventure Anything can happen No heart ever ages Each day's been created For you All days are the same without love

The Request of Marriage

Paris: I will make the perfect groom I love your child and I am rich So rich, give her to me What must I do? I could help you

I'll pay off your debts I'll be like a son My heart will not rest 'Til we are one I beg of you, she is my life Please allow your Juliet to be my wife Count Capulet: My dear friend, control your lust Take a deep breath, you're overwrought In short, when one's aroused I am afraid mistakes are made She's just a child, fourteen tender years Motherhood must wait, she's too young for tears To take a heart before its time Would be a rash, irresponsible crime Not Juliet, not quite yet Take it slow, enjoy the dance One shouldn't rush a great romance

You Must Marry

Lady Capulet: For all its faults Whatever cynics say Marriage, my dear Invigorates each day How lucky you are For somebody so young Juliet: But I'm not in love Lady Capulet: For once, hold your tongue He's handsome and rich He's sent from above How stupid of Paris To have picked you to love 'Juliet' and 'Paris' Your names seem to go so well

Lady Capulet and The Nurse: Time to think of marriage The Nurse: Listen to your mother Lady Capulet: My daughter the bride! Last night I just cried, and cried Juliet: Wasted tears, mother I'm not a bride yet! I'm thrilled he asked But I prefer to wait I doubt he's the type That I'd choose for a mate Lady Capulet: That's just where you're wrong It's all a game of chance The world's full of hags Who waited for romance Juliet: I'm not in love I cannot be his wife Nurse: Your daughter is spoiled Lady Capulet: She has been all her life A room full of toys And still she wanted more The Nurse: They're still in her room All over the floor Dream the same dreams To fall head over heels But fate makes sure that everyone Adjusts their ideals

Lady Capulet: You will grow to love him As I did your father On the day we met He was in a state (Spoken) Well, he could hardly stand up straight He was drunk and overweight Juliet: You're starting to sound Like an old mother hen Lady Capulet: You will have to learn to Change your thinking about men Why, even the Bible Gets revised now and again

Kings of the World

Romeo: Kings of the world running our lives Powerful husbands with ambitious wives Ever-so-smug 'cause they make all the rules They are not kings, just a bunch of old fools Benvolio: Kings of the world planning ahead They haven't noticed they're already dead They eat the fat and they toss us the bones Transparent kings sitting on paper thrones Chorus: We know how to live we squeeze the juice from every moment We make love day after day night after night we sing we dance It makes no sense in being careful not when time files like an arrow We take every risk that's out there we're prepared to take that chance We are the...

Mercutio: Kings of the world, free as the wind Looking for sins that we haven't yet sinned They think they're smart, but they're really quite dumb You miss the tune when you're banging your drum Romeo & Benvolio: Kings of the world, they're just a joke They are not kings, they're just misguided folk Boring as hell and as dull as can be Benvolio: One thing's for sure: they would love to be me! Repeat Chorus Romeo: We'll take the chance! Repeat Chorus (x2) Time is like an arrow We take every risk that's out there We'll take the chance Kings of the World!

The Ball 1 (Instrumental)

Born to Love

Romeo: I know there is a God And he has heard my prayer That face, look at that face Look at those eyes What star did you fall from?

Juliet: I know why I'm alive, I see the reason why That smile that heart stopping smile Those breath-taking lips I will not forget this moment Romeo: You and I were born to love Finally my life has now begun Juliet: You and I were born to love I know in my heart you are the one Romeo: Nothing in this world will stand in our way Juliet: You don't have to speak I hear what you say Both: You and I were born to love Finally my life has now begun Our love will outlive the sea Longer than eternity You and I were born to love Finally my life has now begun Our love will outlive the sea Longer than eternity

The Ball 2 (Instrumental)

She Can't See Me

Tybalt:

She can't see me She can't hear me One day, she'll know I exist I will charm her 'till she loves me Not a single joy will be missed In her eyes, I'm just a cousin Soon my feelings will become clear If she knew how much I love her She would stop and re-think her life I'm the one who she should marry She can't be another man's wife One day I'll be brave and tell her I'll destroy whoever comes near

Two Different Worlds

Juliet: Who is the god above me Who summoned that you should love me? Why has he blessed us in this way? I know I'll thank him every day My heart was wise to choose you But they'll want me to refuse you Now that we know where we belong They're bound to say it's wrong Just take a look around us A sea of fools surround us But they will see before we're done Two different worlds become one Romeo: What star or god above me Decided that you should love me? Forbidden love comes at a price But it is worth the sacrifice They don't know what they're saying This love of ours is staying I'm not prepared to say goodbye Until the day I die Both:

Two different worlds they live in Why don't they all just give in? The winds of war keep blowing The seeds of hate keep growing All I want to do Is live and die with you My heart was wise to choose you There's no way I can refuse you They will all see before we're done Two different worlds come one My heart was wise to choose you I'd rather die than ever lose you We'll make them see before we're done Two different worlds come one

All For Love

Friar: Love makes fools out of wise men Romeo: But without love, what are we? Friar: My love is for God Romeo: I'm in love with an angel Fria:r Love can be an illusion Romeo: This love is no illusion Friar: Can you trust your young heart? Romeo:

Until death do us part Marry me, I beg you I want to lay down beside her Friar, please I promise I'll pray every single day If you'll marry me Friar: Are you sure? Are you certain? Romeo: As the dawn, as the sunset Friar: Marriage may be the way Could it end all their hatred? Could it be...? Romeo: Living without her would be too much to bear What good's a morning without Juliet there? Friar: A Montague, a Capulet, living as man and wife I will be either be blessed or I'll be damned for life Romeo: Your God will forgive He knows that our love is true Friar: I was thinking of my soul for a moment or two Romeo: You have the power to make sure all fighting ends Imagine Capulets being Montagues' friends Friar, please Both: All for love we are living Every day we are giving, all for love Friar: I will marry you

Both: What things we do, all for love

Ugly or Beautiful

The Nurse: Ha, ha, ha! I hear you laugh! Ha, ha, ha! Such a childish laugh You don't understand what it means to love You should not make fun of the heart Ha, ha, ha! You are so cocksure I've met imbeciles who are more mature You live half a life, you walk in the shade If the game of love isn't ever played You should heed my words Benvolio: Ha, ha, ha! Well, that is rich What can we hope to learn from this worn-out witch? Handsome Romeo is just having fun They'll be this one, and then another one Love is for the birds All: Ugly or beautiful Life is all twists and turns No map to show us where to go Where will life lead us Who's to know? Ugly or beautiful We're all afraid of love We guard against it with our lives But we thank God we're here to rise The Nurse: Ha, ha, ha! What can I do? 'Ha ha ha' is all I get from you You are all so vain Love is just a joke One day all your dreams will go up in smoke Laughter turns to screams

Mercutio: Ha ha ha! Love is just a phase With the young it can last for days Lovers' tears aren't real, and their pain's not deep It's a time to laugh, not a time to weep They dream harmless dreams All: Ugly or beautiful Life is all twists and turns No map to show us where to go Where will life lead us Who's to know? Ugly or beautiful We're all afraid of love We guard against it with our lives But we thank God we're here to rise Benvolio: Ugly or beautiful We're all afraid, afraid of love Mercutio: Love is only for the birds All: Ugly or beautiful Life is all twists and turns No map to show us where to go Where will life lead us Who's to know? Ugly or beautiful We're all afraid of love We guard against it with our lives But we thank God we're here to rise

And Now She is in Love

The Nurse: I have cared for her

Each day of her young life The baby in my arms Is soon to be a wife She isn't of my flesh She doesn't share my name Her humor and her looks Aren't something I can claim My Juliet is grown up And now she is in love And everything has changed Her feelings and her hair Have all be re-arranged And while her heart bursts Mine's starting to break I am only her nurse So why do I find this so hard to take? She's eager to fly But oh, how fragile her wings But then she's in love Wide-eyed Romeo And love-struck Juliet It seems their love was doomed Before they even met Their worlds are worlds apart Too much of a divide Her heart is bound to break If she becomes his bride Oh Juliet, I'm frightened But she is so in love And every day's a dance And good old common sense Doesn't stand a chance I've done all I can What more can I do? When I was in love like her I was foolish too... So eager to fly Oh how fragile my wings But then, I was in love The air I was breathing then Was like vintage wine And the darkest of nights

Still managed to shine The love disappeared The memory stayed There's still a glimmer of light in me That will never fade I know how she feels She's eager to fly But then she's in love Now she is in love

These Are My Rivers

Romeo: Your eyes, these are my rivers One glance can start a journey That takes me to wondrous places Your eyes, these are my rivers Juliet: Your arms, these are my mountains Hold me, and stars seem closer No one can ever reach us Your arms, these are my mountains Romeo & Juliet: No need to ever wander We have the world before us Don't move, let's always stay here My heart, has found its way here Julie: Your smile, your voice, your laughter New worlds that need exploring Romeo: And yet there's no need to leave here Romeo & Juliet: These things, these are my rivers

Chorus: Your eyes, these are my rivers One glance can start a journey That takes me to wondrous places Your eyes, these are my rivers Your arms, these are my mountains Romeo: These are my mountains Chorus: Hold me, and stars seem closer Romeo: Stars seem closer Chorus: No one can ever reach us Your arms, these are my mountains Your smile, your voice, your laughter Juliet: Your smile, your voice Chorus: New worlds that need exploring Romeo: Exploring Chorus: And yet there's no need to leave here These things, they'll be my rivers Always, always, always, always

In sad verona Hopeless Verona Where all our dreams are quickly gone Not worth the sky there written on I get the feeling if I die They should take it in there stride Ignorance of law Hopeless Verona Loveless Verona I wish I knew how to concieve... A miracle is what we need Something beyond the reach of man Some merciful almighty plan

This hatred it must come to an end They'll be no lives left to mend In Verona

Fools

The Nurse: I bare the pain you bare I cry the tears you cry Juliet, you must be strong Every time I see you cry I die, I die We both must try What more to you am I? Oh, fools Men are fools There like stubborn mules Refusing to bend Where will all this end? What can any of us do? How much more can we go through? When will every man lay down his sword? When will we all live in accord? When will the lord visit Verona? Friar: The Prince has saved your life It was kind of him to banish you Half of this town is after your blood The blood of a Montague I say your life is worthless here Youve everything to fear Oh, fools Men are fools There like, stubborn mules Refusing to bend Where will all this end? What can any of us do?

How much more can we go through? Both: When will every man lay down his sword? When will we all live in accord? When will the lord visit Verona? Chorus: Fools Men are fools They cant live by rules They always want more Theyre in love with war Why are they so proud to fight? And destroy with all theyre might Why is it important to be brave? Why do we all need flags to wave Why cant we save precious Verona? Verona

No Place Too Far

Romeo: What pain dawn brings What mournful song the lark sings I have to leave Its time to go Dont say a word I know Juliet: Oh my love You are wrong You must have heard the night birds song I cant bare the silent The cruelest word is goodbye If you must leave, as you must do Ill follow you No place too far I have to be where you are

Love me, dream me Until you see me Romeo: No place too far My heart will be where you are No matter where I look Your face is what Ill see How can we be apart When you live inside of me Juliet: Take this Why am I so frightened? Both: No place too far I have to be where you are Love me, dream me Until you see me No place is too far I want to be where you are Shes Yours

The Nurse: Your father has spoken Dont let him down Juliet: NO! Chorus: Hes yours Hes yours Hes yours Lucky girl, hes yours

She Came From Me

Lord Capulet: I have been blessed why should this be? Why have the Gods looked down on me? Her girlish laugh her open ways They invade my days and light my days My Juliet so sweet, so small A smile that could make giants fall The greatest joy Ill never know Is knowing she still loves me so I cant believe She came from me she came from me

Hard to believe she came from me I live for her, I die for I am so proud and yet I fear This angry world will get to near This world is filled with selfish men Who turn girls head time and again I know its time to set her free But letting go os hard for me The time has come These days she wears a painted face Her heartbeats at a faster pace Another man has come and captured her Hes so polite, he calls me sir I welcomed him, thats what you do I tell myself he loves her too No one will see what I go through She is a joy She is a curse The ruler of my universe If Paris lets her down, he wouldnt dare If he breaks her heart Ill break him I swear I'll live in her when I am gone To think that I will still live on How can it be she came from me A gift from god, a precious prize I stare and cant believe my eyes I watched her grow and grow and grow Theres one thing I will never know, how can it be She came from me

All Days Are The Same Without You

Romeo: I cannot find a thing To occupy my mind I dont know what to do Time can be so unkind It seems a hundred hours

In every endless day And yet when you are near Time just flies away Memories restore me Thats what keeps me going The rivers of still love Theyll soon be flowing Juliet: My life is being planned By everyone but me I cant believe that this is How life is meant to be I wish I had a wand That I could simply wave And I would just reverse The wisdom they all gave With this wand All my pain would be ended And wed be together I pray God, until death Romeo: All days are the same without love Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays Juliet: Strange how nothing ever changes and just wait till nothing matters Both: All days are the same without you Without you beside me Who cares if the moon seems closer Or the stars seem brighter All days are the same without you But with you the days glow Each one's an adventure Anything can happen My heart never ages Each day's been created For you All days are the same without you But with you the days glow Each one's an adventure

Anything can happen My heart never ages Each day's been created For you All days are the same without you

I Can't Do This

Benvolio: How does one begin to say All the dreams you dreamed died today All your visions of a perfect life are over How on earth do I find the words that will somehow ease your pain? Help me, God, where do I start? Why must I destroy my best friend's heart? We were once kings of the world We just laughed our way through those carefree years In a way, I wish they had never met Wish that I could bring back Juliet That can't be... no, that can't be I can't do this, I can't do this I will not break the news, this tragic news He should be told by a priest Someone who is old and wise Who can find the reason why Someone so young just dies I can't do this, and yet I know I must do this Mercutio, where is your ghost? How dare you die when I need you most Everything we ever did, we did together I cannot do this on my own Sorry, I'm not made that way Do I say that the time will heal That he will live through this ordeal? What if I break down and cry?

That would be the worst thing I could do I don't trust myself, I will get it wrong I'm too close a friend, I'm not that strong No, not me,,, it can't be me I can't do this, I can't do this I know how I would be if he told me I would drink myself to sleep, and I'd pray I'd never wake That way I'd never hear, the scream a heart can make I must do this, God give me strength, and I'll do this I can do this, I must do this I know I am the one, the only one We are still kings of the world, and that's what we'll always be He knows how much I love him It's best he hears from me I must do this, I will do this I must do this, I must do this

God Knows Why

Romeo: Its not enough to say I knew you Its not enough to say I loved you Im coming to you Wait there, my love Its not enough to live with memories Its not enough to relieve every moment I want more my love If were born to live together Then were born to die together God knows why Ive lost you I dont know why something like this could happen I just want to forget all my sorrow Only with you can ease my pain Im afraid of being apart Its too much for my heart

God knows why Ive lost you Why so many pleasures will be denied us We never danced in the rain Weve not laughed in the sun The music just stopped when it had just begun Wait there, Juliet , Ill soon be with you Far from this world God knows why Its over I dont care The reasons dont matter Im too tired to go on All I live for has gone But well meet in the sky So Ill not say goodbye Ill be with you soon And well dance on the moon Beyond the stars

Where Rivers Keep Flowing

Juliet: Why remain here and grow old? I dont want to live like this I could not endure the quite If I'm with you what's there to miss Without you life is just a word And all days will be the same Im not strong enough to stay here If this is wrong Ill take the blame Well soon be together Morning will find us Where Rivers Keep Flowing With mountains all around us And peace in the heavens You gave away your life for me And now at last well Both be free Where Rivers Keep Flowing

With this world far below us Away from the hatred No battles ever really won When somebody has lost a son Wait for me Ill soon be there Ill be your eternal bride No more dreaming in the shadows Theyll be no feelings we must hide As I die I wonder Whats to believe in? Its too late for questions And no one has the answers But what does it matter You gave away your life for me And now at last we'll Both be free Where Rivers Keep Flowing With this world far below us When dawn breaks tomorrow Theyll be no bloodshed and no wars The eyes Ill gaze upon will be yours

Empty Skies

Friar Laurence: Dear God, Dear God What are you doing up there? Have I been speaking to an empty sky? If not, then tell me why I gave my life to you my faith had never been in doubt The sings that pleasure man I have learned to live without Till now I believed that you were everywhere But if the good still die then what's the sense of prayer We scream but you don't hear, we look to you in vain If you really exist, then why don't you explain Don't leave me now Dear God, Dear God

Forgive me if I fail you I always thought that faith would keep me strong I see, now I was wrong What good are sacred words Written in books as old as time The mountain that's ahead of me Maybe too high climb Can I still spread your word? Can I still be your voice? I thought my life was you, but I feel I have a choice I got down on my knees dead God give me a sign Tell me that all of this, is in your grand design Please don't leave me know I comfort and I soothe the troubled and the weak I give my people strength when everything was bleak With you inside of me, no wound could be too deep But now I feel I'm lost, have I the right to weep? I need your help right now, tell me what must be done You are still my Father and I am still you son don't leave me now Dear God, where are you hiding Dear God, speak to me I need to know your plan When will all of this make sense to me I'm blind, make me see Dear God, of all men Please shine a light my way Give me some hope to face the day I'm lost, all I can do is pray

Gulity

Lady Montague: Theres no pain deeper Theres no day darker Its the cruelest nightmare To outlive your children We have let this happen And so we must share the blame

Lady Capulet: Angry gods will judge us For the harm we did them May theyre souls forgive us May they rest in heaven And stay in love forever As we bow our heads in shames Lady Montague: : Let their deaths unite us Lady Capulet: Let us join together Lady Montague, Lady Capulet, The Nurse: They way to honor Romeo and Juliet > Let their deaths unite us Let us join together The Nurse: Give their lives some meaning Lady Montague, Lady Capulet, The Nurse: Romeo and Juliet Chorus: Fools Men are fools There like Stubborn mules Refusing to bend Where will all this end? What can any of us do? How much more can we go through? When will every man lay down his sword? When will we all live in accord? When will the lord visit Verona? Repeat (x1) Fools Men are fools They cant

Live by rules They always want more Theyre in love with war Why are they so proud to fight? And destroy with all their might Why is it important to be brave? Why do we all need flags to wave How can we save precious Verona? Lovely Verona

The End
