We Are One Body
(from the musical "Creature"; sung by the Spirits inhabiting the Creature's body)


We are one body of Man.
We are a creature of history
That they say we are all bound to repeat.
Yet, in this body of Man
We stand on shoulders so lofty.
Can’t we see a way to make this life complete?

We are one body entwined,
So like a rope we’ve been woven.
Are we strong enough to think on our own?
We are one body in line.
The door to life, it stands opened…
Will we choose to become human and atone?

We are one body of Man.
We are a creature uncertain.
Knowing only what we hold in our hands.
We are one body of hope.
So many dreams we’ve seen broken.
Do we know how to be human again?

We are one body.
We are one body.
No longer lost and alone.
We are one body.
We are one body.
Look how our spirits have grown!

We are one body of fear.
We are creature of habit.
And we imitate what ever we see.
We are one body alone.
We are creature so crowded.
Who can listen when there’s so much to hear?

We are one body Human.
We are a creature of envy,
Wanting everything that’s just out of reach.
We are one body Human.
We are a creature of scheming.
Who can learn when there is so much to teach?

We are one Body of Life.
We are a creature that’s breathing
Every word of every voice ever heard.
We are one Body of Life.
We are a creature that’s seething
With the dreams of every mind ever stirred.
