Lyrics Long Ago... - Charlton Heston, Alan Menken, Disney

Long Ago...

NARRATOR:
Long ago, in the far away land of ancient Greece
there was a golden age of powerful gods extraordinary heroes
and greatest and strongest of all these Heroes was the mighty
Hercules.
But what is the measure of a true hero?
Now, that is what our
story …
MUSES:
Will you listen to him?
He’s making the story sound like some Greek tragedy.
Lighten up, dude.
We’ll take it from here, darling.
NARRATOR:
You go, girls …
MUSES:
We are the muses.
Goddesses of the arts
and proclaimers of heroes.
Heroes like Hercules.
Honey, you mean Hunkules!
I’d like to make some sweet music of it Our story actually begins long before Hercules
Many Aeons ago …
