With Lempicka, Harmony, and Merrily -- that's three shows with very similar theming and lyrics. I swear there are more shows with similar numbers that I can't remember at the moment. I don't have the Lempicka lyrics, but...
Harmony "This Is Our Time"
This is our time, Mary
This is our time
Bad times, so what else is new?
Where I grew up the people threw a pogrom every month or two
You wanna know what happiness is?
Trust me, that ain't it
But this is our time
Could it be a good time
I know, wouldn't that be strange?
Somehow, when I'm not reeling
I find myself feeling
That everything's ready to change
Merrily We Roll Along "Our Time"
Something is stirring
Shifting ground
It's just begun
Edges are blurring
All around
And yesterday is done
Feel the flow
Hear what's happening:
We're what's happening
Don't you know?
We're the movers and we're the shapers
We're the names in tomorrow's papers
Up to us, man, to show 'em
It's our time, breathe it in:
Worlds to change and worlds to win
Our turn coming through
Me and you, man
Me and you!
The lyrics et al are generic enough in their own rights, but the melodies are where I start to get curious. And don't get me started on finales about "Stars" lol
