Good ‘n’ Evil – Jekyll & Hyde




(Thanks to John Rivera for typing these lyrics!)


1. ONCE UPON A DREAM


Lisa

Once upon a dream,
I was lost in love’s embrace,
There I found a perfect place
Once upon a dream.

Once there was time,
Like no other time before,
Hope was still an open door,
Once upon a dream.

And I was unafraid,
The dream was so exciting,
But now I see it fade,
And I am here alone.

Once upon a dream,
You were heaven-sent to me.
But it wasn’t meant to be
Now you’re just a dream

Could we begin again?
Once upon a dream

2. HOSPITAL BOARD


Jekyll

Friends you’re aware,
There are two sides to each of us,
Good and evil,
Compassion and hate.
If we could extract,
All the evil from each of us,
Think of the world that we could create.

A world without anger or violence or strife,
Where man wouldn’t kill anymore!
A world of compassion,
Where passion for life,
Would banish the madness of war!

I have developed in actual reality,
Chemical formulae which could and would,
Alter the patterns of man’s personality,
Guiding him either to evil or good!
Weigh the potential,
The great possibilities,
Colleagues – dear friends – understand!
We have a chance to make history,
Here in our hand.

Here is the chance to take charge of our fate,
Deep down you must know that tomorrow’s too late!
One rule of life we cannot rearrange,
The only thing constant is change,
The only thing constant is change.

3. LOVE HAS COME OF AGE


Jekyll & Lisa

I had never touched a hand,
That felt as soft as rain,
Until tonight.

I had never known a kiss,
Could make you feel this way,

Until tonight
But here we are now,
Feeling things we’ve never felt before.

I never knew that I could feel such wonder.
I never dreamed that love could be like this
Yet in this rapture I’m swept away,
Lost in your eyes
For tonight, Love has come of age

I had never dreamed that I,
Would lose my heart so soon,
Until tonight.
I had never felt my heart,
Racing with the moon,
Until tonight

Now and forever,
Let me live inside your sweet embrace.

I never knew that I could feel such wonder
I never dreamed that love could be like this
Yet in this rapture I’m swept away,
Lost in your eyes.
For tonight, Love has come of age.

If I could make this moment last forever,
If only I could make the time stand still.
Before the dawn I would find a way,
For you and I,
For tonight, Love has come of age.

Tonight, Love has come of age.

4. POSSESSED


Jekyll & Lisa

All my life I’ve been possessed,
By one great all consuming quest,
And that’s my driving reason to survive.

Just take my hand in yours,
I live to see that dream come true.
My world consists of it and you,
So I have got to keep that dream alive.

Henry, I adore you
Always have done, always will do
But I too have dreams.
Maybe not as grand as yours,
Or hard to understand as yours,
But none the less my dreams.
You and I together will be!

Lisa, try to see what I see.

Henry, please believe me,
I see everything there is to see!

But what by God am I supposed to do?

5. THIS IS THE MOMENT


Jekyll

This is the moment,
This is the day,
This is the moment when I know I’m on my way.
Every endeavour,
I have made ever,
Is coming into play,
Is here and now today.

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum
And the moment are in rhyme!

Give me this moment
This momentous moment.
I’ll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!

This is the moment.
When all I’ve done,
All of the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Becomes one!
This is the day,
Just see it shine,
When all I’ve lived for,
Becomes mine!

This is the moment,
This is the hour,
When I can open up tomorrow
Like a flower,
And put my hand to,
Everything I planned to,

Fulfil my grand design,
See all my stars align!

This is the moment,
My final test!
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned,
Second best!
I won’t look down,
I must not fall,
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment,
Damn all the odds,
This day or never,
I’ll sit forever with the gods!
When I look back,
I will recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment of them all!

6. TRANSFORMATION


Jekyll/Hyde

Seven years ago I started out on this alone,
And alone I’ll see it through to its conclusion!
Now the moment’s here the light is clear,
I’ve got to take this final step.
Once and for all it must be done!
I must be wise,
I must try to analyse each change in me,
Everything I see.
How will it be?
Will I see the world through different eyes?
Now that it is done,
There’s nothing left to do,
Only time can prove my theories true.
If I could: Ahh!
My god: what’s this?:
Something is happening.
I can’t explain!: something inside me:
A breathtaking pain!: devours, consumes me:
And drives me insane!

Suddenly: uncontrolled,
Something is taking hold!
Suddenly: agony,
Filling me: killing me!
Suddenly: out of breath!
What is this?
Is it death?
Suddenly: look at me!
Who is this creature,
That I see?

7. SEDUCTION


8. SOMEONE LIKE YOU


Lucy

I peered through windows,
Watched life go by.
Dreamed of tomorrow,
But stayed inside.
The past was holding me,
Keeping life at bay.
I wandered lost in yesterday,
Wanting to fly,
But scared to try.

Then someone like you,
Found someone like me,
And suddenly nothing is the same.
My heart’s taken wing,
And I feel so alive,
‘Cause someone like you found me

It’s like you took my dreams,
Made each one real,
You reached inside of me,
And made me feel,
And now I see a world,
I’ve never seen before.
You’re love has opened every door.
You’ve set me free,
Now I can soar

For someone like you,
Found someone like me,
You touched my heart,
Nothing is the same.
There’s a new way to live,
A new way to love,
‘Cause someone like you found me

Oh, someone like you,
Found someone like me,
And suddenly nothing is the same.
My heart’s taken wing,
And I feel so alive,
‘Cause someone like you loves me,
Loves me

9. NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW


Jekyll

No one must ever know what I have done,
For if anyone does all my work is undone,
And I must gain control of this monster inside,
In the name of the people who’ve died.
But how do I deal with a foe I can’t see,
Who whenever he wants takes possession of me,
In a battle of wills that is raging inside,
Will I end up as me or as Hyde?

Could it be,
Have I really lost my way?
Have I lost my mind,
Will I lose the day?
Look at me and say,
Where it all went wrong,
This has been my dream,
My whole life long.
Those who dare to try.
Those who want to fly will find a way

Am I good man?
Am I mad man?
It’s such a fine line between a good man and a bad…

10. TILL YOU COME INTO MY LIFE


Jekyll

All my life I’ve been building walls around me,
In my world, safe where no one ever found me.
Never knowing what could be,
What was there inside of me.
I never let those feelings in,
Then upon a summer’s night,
You gently changed my life,
I would never be the same.

Till you cam into my life,
Till I heard you call my name,
I was living in a world of grey each day,
Just like the one before.

You have given me my eyes,
You have taught me how to see,
And now I see a brand new world,
I never dreamed could be.
Till you came into my life

In your eyes I could lose myself forever,
In your eyes there’s excitement, there is wonder,
Like a ship adrift at sea,
I had wandered endlessly,
Searching for a shelter
Like a sweet imagined dream,
You were heaven sent to me,
You gave my heart a home.

Till you came into my life,
Till I heard you call my name,
I was living in a world of grey each day,
Just like the one before.
Till you came into my life

Without the stars the night is empty,
I was, till there was you,
Now you’re the light that shines within me,
Guiding me through.

Till you came into my life,
I’d forgotten how to feel,
How to listen to a song or cry,
I lost the child in me.

Till you came into my life,
I had never wanted more,
Them you said you needed me,
And suddenly, my heart could soar,
Forever stay with me

11. NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM


Lucy

Look at me and tell me who I am,
Why I am, what I am.
Call me a fool and it’s true I am,
I don’t know who I am.

It’s such a shame,
I’m such a sham.
No one knows who I am.

Once there were sweet possibilities,
I could see, just for me.
Now all my dreams are just memories,
Fated never to be.

Time’s not a friend, hurrying by.
I wonder who am I?

Am I the face of the future?
Am I the face of the past?
Am I the one who must finish last?

Look at me and tell me who I am,
Why I am, what I am.
Will I survive?
Who will give a damn,
If no one knows who I am?

Nobody knows,
Not even you,
No one knows who I am …

12. RETRIBUTION


13. LETTING GO


Jekyll & Lisa

Letting go of a hand,
That I’ve grown so accustomed to holding,
Letting go of that hand can be so hard.

Letting go of a hand,
That was there to protect and defend me.
Letting go of that hand,
Can be so hard.

There was bound to come a time,
I had to find my way,
Our time has come,
For letting go.

Moving on in my life,
There’s so much about me I’m unsure of.
I must find my own way,
On my own

You will always be with me,
I will always need your love
And it’s so hard to let you go

Even now, though we know,
Now my heart wants to hold on forever.
It’s the hardest thing I know.
But now it’s time, for letting go.
It’s the hardest thing I know,
But now it’s time, for letting go

14. A NEW LIFE


Lucy

A new life
What I wouldn’t give to have a new life
One thing I have learned as I go through life,
Nothing is for free along the way!
A new start,
that’s the thing I need to give me new heart,
Half a chance in life to find a new part,
Just a simple role that I can play
A new hope,
Something to convince me to renew hope.
A new day, bright enough to help me find my way.
A new chance,
One that maybe has a touch of romance.
Where can it be, the chance for me?

A new dream,
I have one I know that very few dream.
I would like to see that overdue dream,
Even though it never may come true
A new love,
Though I know there’s no such thing as true love,
Even so, although I never knew love,
Still I feel that one dream is my due.
A new world,
This one thing I want to ask of you world,
Once, before it’s time to say Adieu, world,
One sweet chance to prove the cynics wrong!

A new life,
More and more I’m sure as I go through life,
Just to play the game and to pursue life,
Just to share its pleasures and belong,
That’s what I’ve been here for all along,
Each day’s a brand new life!

15. IT’S OVER NOW


Jekyll

It’s over now
I know inside,
No one will ever know,
The sorry tale of Edward Hyde,
And those who died,
No one must ever know

They’d only see the tragedy,
They’d not see my intent,
The shadow of Hyde’s evil
Would forever kill
The good that I had meant

Am I a good man?
Am I a mad man?
It’s such a fine line
Between a good man
And a bad

16. WE STILL HAVE TIME


Jekyll & Lisa

Look – the darkness of the night has disappeared,
The noon surrenders to the sun and fears subside,
The storm has passed,
I can see the dawn at last

Soon – I know we’ll see a brighter day begin,
A better and a wiser world for living in,
That we will share,
In time it will be there

We still have time,
We still can dream,
Those clouds we think we see,
Are farther than they seem
We still have time,
It’s never too late,
As long as love survives,
We’ll take out chance with fate
For we still have time

Love – has given me the strength to carry on,
There’s nothing I can’t do,
As long as you are near – so close my dear,
Till all my fears are gone

We still have time.
We still can dream.
Those clouds we think we see,
Are farther than they seem.
We still have time,
It’s never too late,
As long as love survives,
We’ll take our chance with fate,
For we still have time

Time – together
Time – to share
Time – to gather all that’s there

We still have time,
It’s never too late,
As long as love survives,
We’ll take our chance with fate
We still have time

17. ONCE UPON A DREAM


Jekyll

Once upon a dream,
I conceived a perfect plan,
That would change the face of man,
Once upon a dream

For it was my dream,
To create a perfect world,
From this cold imperfect world,
Once upon a dream

And I was unafraid,
The dream was so enticing,
But now I see it fade,
And I stand here alone

Once upon a dream,
All I had to do was try,
Too late now to wonder why,
It can never be

Could I begin again?
Once upon a dream
