Monkey |
| Galileo, Marriage of Figaro |
| You have shown the world where we ought to go |
| Mother, Mahatma, Madiba, together forever |
| Wondrous things beyond what I can understand |
| The television where I watched a doctor grow a human hand |
| Great woman and men |
| You can say that again |
| You are nothing like them |
| What does it take to be great, is it fate? |
| What does it take to be great, is it fate? |
| What it takes to be great is a tortured state |
| As a child you drew up an impressive list |
| Astronaut, fire-woman, archaeologist |
| Something that mattered |
| Oh darling, you had it |
| What happened? |
| What does it take to be great, is it fate? |
| What does it take to be great, is it fate? |
| What it takes to be great is a tortured state |
| And fate |
| So you can home |
| Why would you want to be great anyway? |
| Why would you want to be great anyway? |
| When you die with your name on history’s slate |
| You’ve still passed away |
| Why would you want to be great anyway? |
| Why would you want to be great anyway? |
| What it takes to be great is a tortured state |
| And I know you’ve got that, mate |
| But fate |
| You can go home |
| You can go home now |
| You can go home now |
| You can go home now |
| You can go |
| You can go home now |
| You can go home now |
| You can go home now |
| You can go home now |
| You can go home now |
| You can go home now |
| You can go |
