changing lives - meryl streep lyrics

Loading...

(spoken intro)
[frank]
it’s frank dilella with new york one’s on stage, and we’re here for the opening night of eleanor!, the eleanor roosevelt musical

[barry]
let’s talk process

(song)
when i’m in character, i go insane
i stagger, i stammer, i sob
i make the audiences feel my pain
and if they don’t leave depressed, then i’ve not done my job

[dee dee]
each time i find a role like eleanor
the artist inside of me thrives
i put on that wig and those prosthetic t**th
and know i’m changing lives
by the time i get tuberculosis in act two

[barry]
even the people who are dead inside

[both]
will shout “bravo!” on cue
(spoken)
[sheldon]
the first review is in! the new jersey star*ledger

[dee dee]
don’t tell me, unless it’s a rave. or a mixed positive

[sheldon]
it says we’re a hit!

[barry]
oh my god!

(song)
we’re a hit and i think we deserve it!

[dee dee]
that’s for sure

[barry]
also it means that this tour de force
will not be forced to tour

(spoken)
[dee dee]
to eleanor! may she run for eternity!
[ensemble]
to eleanor!

(song)
[all]
cheers to a show that’s so inspiring
it’s almost too much to sit through
and if we’ve won that might mean one more thing

[barry]
that in ten years or so, we’ll do eleanor 2!

[dee dee]
i can predict what the reviews will say
before the next note has arrived
it’s ground*breaking

[ensemble]
earth*shaking

[barry]
life*affirming

[ensemble]
breathtaking
[barry and dee dee]
gut*wrenching

[all]
heart*aching

[barry and dee dee]
in two words, it’s history*making
that’s why every actor strives
for adulation
and compensation
that comes from nightly
changing lives

(spoken outro)
[barry]
it’s just what we do
