C Shine
Outside, life's a mess
No one's pure of spirit any longer
There's no wrong or right, just wrong and wronger
People have amused themselves to death
Outside, life is grim
Filled with smut and scandal to the brim
I suppose there may be room for Him -
Frankly, I don't plan to hold my breath
But here within these walls, days are filled with grace
God is in his place, his wisdom still respected
Here within these walls, life has a different pace from life beyond our doors
And for what it's worth, this life's now yours!
Outside all is vice
People now are absolutely shameless
Most, including those who shall be nameless
Hardly seem to know or even care
Outside, all is sin
And I won't have the outside coming in
Trust me, it's a battle you won't win -
Frankly, dear, you haven't got a prayer
Here within these walls, life is sweet and good
Faith is understood, and selfishness rejected
Work, prayer, and sisterhood are what life's built upon
That's how it will stay, or else you're gone!
So put aside your gluttony!
Put aside your pride!
As for carnal lust, you need a break, I trust
Put it all aside!
Put aside interperance!
Profanity as well!
Put aside each remnant of your former worldly shell
MOTHER SUPERIOR/NUNS:
Here within these walls, (Ave)
All is stripped away
Surrender and obey, (Maria)
That's all that is expected
Here within these walls, (gratia) all else is kept at bay
Through the world may go astray, (plena)
Here etenal truths hold sway
Here within these walls, (Salve Regina)
Life is truly blessed! (Mater misericordiae)
Here you're God's own guest (vita, dulcedo)
Celestially protected.(et spes nostra salve)
Here within these walls, all's for the very best
And always shall be thus and if heaven's will be done
Here she'll just be one more nun, (Salve Regina)
Safe within these walls as one of us!
(salve, salve, amen.)

I just discovered this musical on spotify. I love how they made songs like this that get inside the characters heads. The mother superior's world view was known, but the chorus makes you see how she saw the convent as an oasis. It's beautiful.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. I love Sheila Hancock for it too. This for me is the BEST version and is perfect. Her voice is just right for this. I dont know what it is, but it gets me everytime I hear this song (catholic upbringing. Takes me back, I know) Im not even catholic but there are some things good. The nuns singing is one of those. This to me is spiritual in parts and indeed takes me to a heaven. Thank you who ever wrote this. Bless you for writing it. Thank you to whoever posted it. Thank you.

The slow bit gives me goosebumps, especially when the choir comes in at the end :O

I always loved singing those harmonies at the end
Yeetus Cleetus
This song is so Disney-like.
Becky Arnold
Probably because the music was written by Alan Menken, famous for lots of Disney music. :)

I’m using this for an audition song for theater, does anyone know the time stamp for measure 40?
Edit: never mind it’s at exactly 2:00
