Fame Soundtrack Miscellaneous Teachers Arguement Artists are special celestial fools Blessed with a talent for breaking the rules Unfit for confinement in cubical schools Artists are special. Artists are people, not primitive fools They learn what to do before breaking the rules They know that the brain is the finest of tools Artists are people Whether in theatre or music or dance They have to be given the chance ... To fly by the seat of their pants! To develop their minds! to be nurtured like plants Artists are part of the same human race As everyone else in this same bloody place you learn to survive or you fall on your face Artist or not! Artist or not! I've seen them come and go for all these years Kids with no talent for anything more Than carrying spears Another year, another shipment Lacking the drive, or the style, or the basic equipment This one is different! And I can see me, then...unremarkable me The kid in the ballet class, the princess I wanted to be Tutu and point shoes, hair in a bun, Completely unnoticed, as if I were no one... This one is different, I tell you, This one can dance, This one is special, I tell you Give him a chance What did they tell me when I was a girl Learn! Day after day when I ws a girl Learn! The land of dreams waits over the meadow, If you can find your way out of the ghetto Learn! Learn! Put your faith in books That will protect you Put your faith in books And a mind of your own Neither charm nor looks Will make them respect you you must learn to stand, you must learn to stand alone! Picture a little girl in glasses and braids A little starched dress, at the end of the corridoor She's holding to the wall, waiting for the bell to ring Praying for the day to end Forcing herself to go back to her class again Hearing her mama's words "put your faith in books" This one is different Put your faith in books! This one can dance Put your faith in books Artists are special Artists are people This one must have a chance This one must have a chance |
