TRACK 17: A HAPPIER DAY
GUESTS:
A HAPPIER DAY AWAITS FOR ALL
WHO HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO FIND IT
FOR EVERY CLOUD THAT SCARS OUR SKIES
A HEAVEN IS WAITING BEHIND IT
ALL OF OUR SORROWS ARE SIMPLY THE TOLL
THAT EVERY TRAV'LER MUST PAY
UPON THE ROAD OF A THOUSAND TOMORROWS
THAT LEADS TO A HAPPIER DAY
WALTON: Captain Robert Walton, in a letter to his sister, November 9th,
1793. Though he was near death, gasping for each breath, Frankenstein continued his tale. It pained me to hear it. So much sorrow. Such great suffering...
FATHER: ...but there is a time for all things. To reap and to sow... to weep
and to rejoice. And a time to put tragedy in the past. And today, my friends, we gather to celebrate Victor and Elizabeth's engagement.
GUEST: To the Frankensteins.
ALL GUESTS: To the Frankensteins!
GUESTS:
ALL OF OUR SORROWS ARE SIMPLY THE TOLL
THAT EVERY TRAV'LER MUST PAY
UPON THE ROAD OF A THOUSAND TOMORROWS
THAT LEADS TO A HAPPIER DAY
HENRY:
SEE THEM SMILE... SEE THEM LAUGH...
SEE THEM DANCE AND CELEBRATE
I'D SHARE THEIR PLEASURE IF I COULD
BUT TO PRETEND WOULD DO NO GOOD
FOR SOMETHING HERE IS OUT OF PLACE
HAUNTED AND DISTANT... A MAN POSSESSED
HE SHROUDS HIMSELF IN MYSTERY
IT'S LIKE A SICKNESS DEEP INSIDE
WHAT IS IT VICTOR NEEDS TO HIDE?
WHAT IS THIS STRANGE INSANITY?
I'VE BARELY SEEN HIM FOR THESE MANY MONTHS
BUT I CAN GUESS THE REASON WHY
SOMEHOW HE FAILED WRITE HIS DESTINY
AND NOW HE MEANS AGAIN TO TRY
NOT EVERY MOUNTAIN MUST BE CLIMBED
NOT EVERY SECRET SHOULD BE KNOWN
AND THOUGH THE FUTURE MAY BE OURS
IT ISN'T OURS ALONE
ELIZABETH:
I FEEL THE WORLD IS FINALLY SLOWING DOWN
AND I AM STANDING ON MORE SOLID GROUND
THE DREAM I FEARED WAS LOST IS FOUND
AT LAST... OR SO IT SEEMS
I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING HE STILL KEEP FROM ME
HIS WOUNDED HEART HE GUARDS WITH SECRECY
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP HIM TO SEE
THAT LOVE... HOLDS ALL WE NEED
I KNOW YOU'VE DEMONS STILL TO SLAY
WE ALL HAVE ROADS THAT WE MUST WALK ALONE
BUT IF YOU CARE FOR ME, I PRAY
YOU'LL LEAVE YOUR OTHER WORLD BEHIND... UNKNOWN
HENRY: BOUND BY A DUTY, I WILL TRY
ELIZABETH: I CANNOT KEEP THIS FLAME ALONE
HENRY: ...TO RESCUE VICTOR ON MY OWN
ELIZABETH: THE ONLY PATH I'M LEFT IS YOURS
HENRY: ...AND STEER HIS PATHWAY TO THE LIGHT
ELIZABETH: FOR YOU THE WORLD'S AN OPEN ROAD
HENRY: ...BEFORE HE'S LOST TO THE UNKNOWN
ELIZABETH: ...FOR ME, A ROOM WITH BUT ONE DOOR
WILL SORROW BE THE TOLL...
HENRY: FOR ALL OUR SORROWS ARE THE TOLL...
ELIZABETH: ...THIS WEARY TRAVELER MUST PAY
HENRY: ...EV'RY LIFE'S TRAVELER MUST PAY
ELIZABETH: ...UPON A DARK, UNCERTAIN ROAD
HENRY: ...UPON A DARK, UNCERTAIN ROAD
HENRY & ELIZABETH:
...TO A HAPPIER DAY
GUESTS:
A HAPPIER DAY AWAITS FOR ALL
WHO HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO FIND IT
FOR EVERY CLOUD THAT SCARS OUR SKIES
A HEAVEN IS WAITING BEHIND IT
ALL OF OUR SORROWS ARE SIMPLY THE TOLL
THAT EVERY TRAV'LER MUST PAY
UPON THE ROAD OF A THOUSAND TOMORROWS
THAT LEADS TO A HAPPIER DAY
