The Medal Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You used to say love and be loved all the time
'Til you discovered feelings were a failure sign
When it rains, it rains so hard
The tears begin to show
Now it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
Life will never be the same as it was again
Life will never be the same as it was again
Through my anger and my joy, my tears and pain
Life will never be the same as it was again
Beneath the sea of Hollywood where Frances used to reign
They trade their deepest wishes for a part in someone's game
Spirits die alone at night
For life they cannot hold
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show
Life will never be the same as it was again
Life will never be the same as it was again
Through my anger and my joy, my tears and pain
Life will never be the same as it was again
We're just everyday people, not a theatre company
Everyone wants to join us, there's no fear in us you see
It's me for you and you for me ai ai ya ya ya ya
Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
on the rain
on the rain
on the rain
on the rain
on the rain
(Yeh oh yeh, woho woho woho yeh
Yeh oh yeh, woho woho woho yeh)
Now I say love for love, not a space in time
The strangest things can shatter kings and take away what's mine
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show
Life will never be the same as it was again
Life will never be the same as it was again
Through my anger and my joy, my tears and pain
Life will never be the same as it was again
Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
on the rain
on the rain
Life will never be the same
Life will never never be the same
In the rain
In the rain
We can dance and bring on the rain
Life will never be the same as it was again
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
