Hi everyone!
We are all missing our friends, family, teachers and everyone who makes our lives even just a little bit better everyday. We know we have to be separate, for now, to stay safe. But it sure is not easy! I thought of this song that I remember learning years ago, actually when I was in college. It is called Worlds Apart and it is from a Broadway Musical called Big River. Big River is a musical based on the book Huckleberry Finn. Have any of you read it? This song is sung between two characters from the book, Jim and Huck and talks about what they have in common, even among all their differences.
So, I made a video for you of me singing the song, and playing piano! Please be kind as this is my very first attempt at making something like this, and it took some bravery to put myself out there like this. Click on this link:
Here are the lyrics:
JIM:
I see the same stars through my window
That you see through yours
But we're worlds apart
Worlds apart
And I see the same skies through brown eyes
That you see through blue
But we're worlds apart, worlds apart
Just like the earth, just like the sun
Two worlds together are better than one
I see the sun rise in your eyes
That you see in mine
But we're worlds apart, worlds apart
HUCK:
I see the same stars through my window
That you see through yours
But we're worlds apart, worlds apart
BOTH:
And you see the same skies through brown eyes
That I see through blue
But we're worlds apart, worlds apart
Just like the earth, just like the sun
Two worlds together are better than one
I see the friendship in your eyes
That you see in mine
But we're worlds apart, worlds apart
Together, but worlds apart.
