Titanic: A New Musical - In Every Age (Reprise) / Finale lyrics

[BRIDE] Fare thee well May the Lord who watches all Watch over thee May God's heaven be your blanket As you softly sleep [ALL SURVIVORS] Softly sleep... In every age mankind attempts To fabricate great works At once magnificent And impossible... On desert sands, from mountains of stone A pyramid! From flying bu*tresses alone A wall of light! A chapel ceiling Screaming one man's ecstasy! One man's ecstasy... Miracles them all! China's endless wall Stonehenge, The Parthenon, The Duomo The aqueducts of Rome We did not attempt to make With mammoth blocks of stone A giant pyramid No, not a pyramid Nor Gothic walls that radiate with light... [ALL] Our task was to dream upon And then create A floating city! [OFFSTAGE VOICES] Floating city! [ALL] A human metropolis A complete civilization! Sleek! And fast! At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering... At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering... Sail on, sail on Great ship Titanic! Cross the open sea Pray the journey's sound Till your port be found Fortune's winds Sing Godspeed to thee Fortune's winds Sing Godspeed To thee!
