Carnival!-"Mira"

JMHS 2006 Spring Musical "Carnival!"

Lili sings about her hometown, Mira, to Jacquot.

Lyrics:
I came on two buses and a train
Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine that?
Two buses and a train

Would you believe, would you believe
that this is the first I've traveled?
I come from a town the kind of town
where you live in a house and the house falls down
but if it stands up you stay there
it's funny but it's their way there

I come from the town of Mira
beyond the bridges of Saint Claire
I guess you've never heard of Mira?
It's very small but still it's there
They have the very greenest trees
and skies as white as flame
But what I liked the best in Mira
is everybody knew my name
Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that?
Everybody knew my name

A room that's strange is never cozy
A place that's strange is never sweet
I want to have a chair that knows me
and walk a street that knows my feet

I'm very far from Mira now
and there's no turning back
I have to find a place
I've got to find a place
where everything can be the same
a street that I can know
and places I can go
where everyone will know my name
Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that?
Everybody knew my name
