through a glass - pulp musicals lyrics
narrator:
it wasn’t hollow inside the sphere
it was designed for durability
it was filled with pillars and beams
then divided into sections
the walls were brick, the floors as well
to maximize stability
hundreds and hundreds of supports
and every inch required inspections
herschel:
chamber thirteen, check
samuel, everything looks okay
samuel:
i can’t believe we’re gonna be
done in a few days
narrator:
samuel stopped and stared
at the only things not made of brick
thе satellite had two windows
made of quartz twеlve inches thick
samuel:
why install a window
when the sphere will travel empty
herschel:
this sphere will have no passengers
but someday, there might be
samuel:
i can only imagine the view
herschel:
imagining’s what you do
samuel:
a trait i share with you
herschel:
it runs in our families
samuel:
your father must be very proud of you following
in his footsteps
herschel:
do you know why i kept this experiment a secret?
samuel:
why?
herschel:
so my father wouldn’t know if i failed. (beat)
when i step into this satellite, i feel, for the first
time, that my footsteps are my own
samuel:
i’ve felt that way since we left new york
herschel:
that much is obvious. you’ve laid more bricks
than any of us, working your fingers to the bone
samuel:
because this is important to me, too
herschel:
i sense it’s about more than the satellite
samuel:
through a glass, darkly
i see myself, partially
with pieces left forgotten or unseen
is there a way to wipe the surface clean
are these my mother’s eyes
my father’s smile
speak to me, it’s been a while
would you trust what you see
when looking through a glass at me
herschel:
through a glass, darkly
i see myself, starkly
with armor that’s been comfortable to wear
underneath, is anybody there
are these my father’s dreams
his hopes and fears
is that people want to hear
the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
when they hold a glass to me
samuel, herschel:
so many years spent in the atmosphere
neglecting what happens here
on the earth, in my brain
with the pieces just out of the frame
herschel:
i’ll build my own path
samuel:
i’ll build my way back
samuel, herschel:
to more than i thought i could be
high enough to finally see things clearly
through a glass, darkly
we judge ourselves, harshly
herschel:
the road we take
samuel:
the choice we make
samuel, herschel:
is the view
samuel:
i have such a long way to go
herschel:
whatever the distance * we’ll travel together
