letra de celebration - tom jones and harvey schmidt

[potemkin, spoken]
in ancient days, in winter
when the sun kept sinking lower in the sky
men started to wonder if it could die
“look,” they said, “the day is being eaten by the night!
“look,” they said, “the darkness is devouring the light!”
and they were frightened

[sung]
some people say
that today is the day
when the wind will rise
and blow the world away
and it may be so
i just don’t know
all i know is up until we have to go
i wanna celebrate
i wanna make a celebration
i wanna celebrate
i wanna savor each sensation
see the sunlight rise
feel it touch the sky
i wanna stay alive
until the day i die
i wanna celebrate
every day
[spoken]
and so the people gathered by the fire
they drank and sang and made up plays
they painted their faces
and in the blaze
they waited
hoping for a sign

[potemkin and ensemble, sung]
some people say
that tonight is the night
when the bird will fly
and eat away the light
and it may be so
i just don’t know
all i know is up until we have to go
i wanna celebrate (celebrate)
i wanna make a celebration
i wanna celebrate (celebrate)
i wanna savor each sensation
feel the blazing fire
drink a cup of wine
i wanna light the torch
and teach the sun to shine
i wanna celebrate
every day
[potemkin, spoken}
we’re like those ancient people in a way
we gathered by a fire to do a play
our night is dark like theirs
our world as cold
our hopes seem frozen underneath the snow
and yet if you would just assist us with your imagination
we’ll try to make this humble stage
a place for celebration

[sung]
some people say
that today is the day
when the cold will come
and never go away
when the bird will fly
the wind will blow
but something deep inside me says it can’t be so

[potemkin and ensemble]
i wanna celebrate (celebrate)
make a celebration
i wanna celebrate (celebrate)
savor each sensation
something deep inside (something deep inside)
says we need the snow (says we need the snow)
there’s a tiny seed (there’s a tiny seed)
and it’s gonna grow (and it’s gonna grow)
i wanna celebrate (celebrate)
every day (every day)
every day (every day)
every day (every day)
every day (every day)
make a c-e-l-e-b-r-a-t-i-o-n!
celebration!
