Godspell (The New Broadway Cast Recording)
Tower of Babble
I honor and love you
But I shall obey god rather than you
And as long as I have life and strength
I shall never cease from the practice
And teaching of philosophy
Wherefore, O' men of Athens
I say to you
Therefore, aquit me or not
But whichever you do
I shall never alter my ways
Never adjust my approach to this maze
Never reform 'til the end of my days
Even if I have to die many times
God is apprehended by imagination, intuition
Reason, touch, opinion, sense and name and so on
While on quite the other hand,
We find we can't begin to understand him
So to some it seems a shame to go on
But he is all things in all
And he is nothing in any
He is often found in one thing small
Conversely, he is often missed in many
God endows us with sense and intellect
God endows us with reason we neglect
And despite the abolition
By the current inquisition
Of any intuition that Plato choose
When it comes to God, I find
I can't believe that he designed
A human being with a mind,
He's not supposed to use
The rise of this day
The decline of Rome
Was inevitable
Rome had to fall
State is as far, walking on the earth
The seeds of Rome's decline were present and rebirth
We should therefore be surprised
That man was ever individualized
That Rome remained so strong
State will be strong so long
Nothing
Is true
Unless
Observed
By you
Atheistic existentialism which I represent
Is more coherent
I do believe it
The quarry of god we're born to make manifest
There is no such thing as human nature
Not in all or few men
Since there is no god to conceive it
The quarry of god we're born to make manifest
So high
In my
Lovely ivory tower of babble
Babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble
High above the rabble
Rabble, rabble, rabble
Rabble, babble, rabble, babble, rabble, babble
Greatest mind of history
Solving life's sweet mystery
So listen to me (so listen to me)
Know how life should be (know how life should be)
Oh what does it matter if they don't agree
Ahhhh-Ahhhh
Ahhhh-Ahhhh
Ahhhh-Ahhhh
But I shall obey god rather than you
And as long as I have life and strength
I shall never cease from the practice
And teaching of philosophy
Wherefore, O' men of Athens
I say to you
Therefore, aquit me or not
But whichever you do
I shall never alter my ways
Never adjust my approach to this maze
Never reform 'til the end of my days
Even if I have to die many times
