Sonny:
What the hell. Guys like me shouldn't dream anyway!
Muses:
I'm alive
And the world shines for me today
I'm alive
Suddenly I am here today
Thalia:
Seems like forever
Muses:
And a day
Euterpe:
Thought I could never
Muses:
Feel this way
Erato:
Is this really me?
Muses:
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Melpomene:
And the dawn breaks across the sky
Muses:
I'm alive
Calliope:
And the sun rises up so high
Terpsicore:
Lost in another world
Muses:
Far away
Terpsicore:
Never another word
Muses:
Till today
But what can I say?
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
(Instrumental break)
Clio:
Suddenly came the dawn
Muses:
From the night
Clio:
Suddenly I was born
Muses:
Into light
Clio:
How can it be real?
Muses:
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Clio: Sister Muses, come! Join me where the land embraces the sea
There's an artist who needs our inspiration to achieve truly great work
And as surely as we are the offspring of Zeus I tell you that I will go in disguise to help this
Sonny is his quest for artistic achievement
Muses: Huzzah!
Clio: First, I will not call myself Clio. I will call myself Kira
Calliope: You've thrown them off the track now
Clio: Secondly, I will where roller skates and leg-warmers
Euterpe: You shall be as current as today's headlines
Clio: And thirdly, I will sport and Australian accent! G'Day, Mate!
Muses: Ahhh!
Clio: I tell you sisters, by the fires of Hephaestus . .
I mean . . . by the fires of all the shrimp on the Barbie
I shall help this Sonny Malone to fulfill his destiny
Suddenly came the dawn
Muses:
From the night
Clio:
Suddenly I was born
Muses:
Into light
Clio:
How can it be real?
Muses:
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
And the world shines for me today
I'm alive
Suddenly I am here today
Clio:
Seems like forever
Muses:
And a day-ay
Clio:
Thought I could never
Muses:
Feel this way
Clio:
Is this really me?
Muses:
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
