Backstory:
Firstly this is lyric only.
The content is driven by a passion for finding ways to promote equality and was written in an alternate statement theme, and so it has been cast as a duet.
Lyrics:
Intro: personalised talk
B: Hi “A” are you ready for this?
A: "B" let’s do it, let’s go
Musical Medley intro
A: travelling on my life’s journey
B: where did you want to go
A: I wanted to find equality
B: walk with me I’ll help you know
A: I know it's not a country we live in
B: it is first in a mirror take a look
A: and it's not the colour of our skin
B: it is behind the cover of our book
{Chorus – together}
all live, all die, is heartbeat's song
all laugh, all cry, let’s sing along
A: it can't be in language that we speak
B: but it is in the need to connect
A: it's not being strong or weak
B: it is where all can show respect
A: it's not a difference in belief or thought
B: it is surely somewhere all are the same
A: it's not something sold or bought
B: no it is pumping red through a vein
{Chorus – together}
all live, all die, is heartbeat's song
all laugh, all cry, let’s sing along
B: it's not looking back at history (nb roles reversed)
A: it is somewhere all can start
B: it's not in our dexterity
A: it is in every beating heart
B: it's not a skill we can deploy
A: it is there now when you look at me
B: it matters not if we are girl or boy
Together: it is all sharing equality
{Chorus – together}
all live, all die, is heartbeat's song
all laugh, all cry, let’s sing along
encore
(preceded by a bit of talking banter)
A: Thank you “B” for being a friend
B: you know “A”, that’s what I’m here for
A: what do you think is that the end?
B: of course not, shall we do an encore?
Medley build up
Together:
If we all sing heartbeat’s song
we can find equality
then maybe all will belong
So sing out loud heartbeat’s song
sharing and finding we
if we sing out loud heartbeat’s song
Fade out (with or without music?)
A: all live
B: all die
A: all laugh
B: all cry
