rate meSong by Bat Boy: The Musical Cast<br /><br>
REV.HIGHTOWER: Oh the sheep has returned to the fold,<br>
and the prodigal son has come in from the cold!<br>
So like the prophets were told in the days of old-<br>
Make a joyful noise my soul!<br>
<br>
CHOIR: (mumbly) Make a joyful noise my soul...<br>
<br>
REV.HIGHTOWER: Oh, the lion will lie down with the lamb,<br>
and the sinner will walk hand in hand with Abraham.<br>
And he will cry to the sky, Jesus here I am!<br>
Make a joyful noise my soul! - - - Hello?<br>
<br>
CHOIR:...ful noise, my soul...<br>
<br>
REV.HIGHTOWER and CHOIR: Make some noise!<br>
Make some noise! Make some noise! My soul is whole!<br>
Sing it loud! Sing it proud! Sing it strong, all night long!<br>
Make a joyful noise- a joyful noise my soul!<br>
<br>
REV.HIGHTOWER: Now, I know there's somebody out there. Someone who needs healing. I can feel your distress! You've got a<br>
sin... within. Step forward! Let the holy ghost heal you! He's putting a fire under your seat now. No fear. Who wants the<br>
healing?<br>
<br>
BAT BOY: I want to be healed!<br>
ALL: (hub bub)<br>
REV.HIGHTOWER: Sweet wounded Jesus.<br>
<br>
LET ME WALK AMONG YOU/JOYFUL REPRISE<br>
<br>
BAT BOY: I know you hate me. But if you could only see me the way I see all of you...<br>
<br>
Look at all your faces. Children, husbands, wives.<br>
God, you're all so beautiful. I envy you your lives.<br>
Going to work, building your schools, throwing a football<br>
or swimming in pools.<br>
Out in the sun, living by rules, I could learn how if you'd teach me the tools...<br>
I know I'm strange, so help me change, please.<br>
<br>
Let me walk among you. Let me show my face.<br>
I could learn to live with you, I can earn my place.<br>
I will move a mountain; your wish is my command.<br>
And some day you may want to shake my hand.<br>
<br>
I will paint your houses. I'll milk your cows at dawn.<br>
I will do your laundry and I will mow your lawn.<br>
Let me file your taxes. I am a CPA!<br>
And maybe then you'll shake my hand someday.<br>
I can grow a champion rose, or teach a yoga class.<br>
I myself designed these clothes. I can do my part.<br>
Must I die then with my nose still pressed against the glass?<br>
But if you'd shake my hand, well, thats a start.<br>
Yes, thats a start. Look in your heart!<br>
<br>
And let me join your carpool- No! Let me drive the car!<br>
Let me throw a barbeque or join you at the bar.<br>
Come and watch the ballgame, I'll bake a pecan pie!<br>
And I will shake your hand when you drop by.<br>
Oh, bring me to your churches and met me look inside,<br>
Bring me to your weddings and let me kiss the bride!<br>
<br>
Thank you all for listening... thats... all I had to say.<br>
<br>
But please will someone shake my hand?<br>
Won't somebody take my hand?<br>
Let just one person shake my hand!<br>
<br>
ALL: Okay<br>
BAT BOY: Okay?<br>
ALL: Okay!<br>
BAT BOY: Okay?<br>
ALL: Okay!<br>
BAT BOY: Okay?<br>
ALL: OKAY!<br>
Praise God, the sheep has returned to the fold.<br>
And the prodigal son has come in from the cold!<br>
<br>
BAT BOY: So like the prophets were told<br>
<br>
ALL: In the days of old! Make a joyful noise, my soul!<br>
Make a joyful noise, my soul!<br>
<br>
BAT BOY AND ALL: Make some noise! (Make some noise!)<br>
Make some noise! (Make some noise!)<br>
Hallelujah- my soul is whole!<br>
Sing it loud! (Sing it proud)<br>
Sing it strong- all night long!<br>
<br>
ALL: Make a joyful noise- a joyful noise my soul!<br>
A joyful noise my soul!<br>
A joyful noise my soul!<br>
A joyful noise-<br>
my soul!<br>
AMEN!<br>
<br>
