my opinion matters

Was amazing!!!! I can't even say how great it was - especially to see it on Broadway. I'll be posting lyrics here as I transcribe them. Enjoy!

I got a feeling that you could be feeling A whole lot better than you feel today You say you got a problem, well that's no problem It's super easy not to feel that way When you start to get confused because of thoughts in your head Don't feel those feelings hold them in instead Turn it off, like a light switch Just go click It's a cool little Mormon trick We do it all the time When you're feeling certain feelings That just don't seem right Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light And turn em off like a light switch Just go bap Really what's so hard about that? Turn it off Turn it off When I was young my dad would treat my mom real bad Every time the Utah Jazz would lose He'd start a-drinking and I'd start a-thinking How am I gonna keep my mom from getting abused I'd see her all scared and my soul was dyin' My dad would say to me now don't you dare start cryin' Turn it off Like a light switch Just go flick It's our nifty lit...

The most important time of a Mormon kid's life is his mission A chance to go out and help heal the world that's my mission Soon I'll be off in a different place Helping the whole human race I know my mission will be something incredible Two by two we're marching door to door Cause god loves Mormons and he wants some more A two-year mission is our sacrifice We are the army of the church of jesus christ Of latter day saints Two by two and today we'll know Who will make the journey, when and where we'll go We're fighting for a cause but we're really really nice We are the army of the church of jesus christ Of latter day saints Two by two I guess it's you and me We're off to reach across land and sea Satan has a hold of France We need to knock him off his perch We are the soldiers of the army of the church Of jesus christ of latter day saints Heavenly father where will I go on my mission Will it be China or old Mexico on my mission It could be San Fr...

You all know the bible is made of testaments old and new You've been told it's just those two parts or only one if you're a Jew But what if I were to tell you there's a fresh third part out there Which was found by a hip new prophet who had a little Donny Osmond flair Have you heard of the all-American prophet The blond haired blue-eyed boys of god He didn't come from the middle east like those other holy men No god's favorite prophet was all-American I'm gonna take you back to biblical times, 1823 An American man named Joe living on a farm in the holy land of Rochester, New York You mean the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith That's right that young man spoke to god (He spoke to god?) And god said Joe, people really need to know that the bible isn't two parts There's a part three to the bible, Joe And I god have anointed you to dig up this part three that's buried by a tree on a hill in your backyard Wow god says go to your backyard and start diggi...

Ever since I was a child I tried to be the best So what happened? My family friends all said I was blessed So what happened? It was supposed to be all so exciting To be teaching of Christ 'cross the sea But I allowed my faith to be shaken Oh, what's the matter with me? I've always longed to help the needy To do the things I never dared This was the time for me to step up So then why was I so scared? A warlord who shoots people in the face What's so scary about that? I must trust that my lord is mightier And always has my back Now I must be completely devout I can't have even one shred of doubt I believe That the lord god created the universe I believe That he sent his only son to die for my sins And I believe That ancient Jews built boats and sailed to America I am a Mormon And a Mormon just believes You cannot just believe part way You have to believe in it all The problem was doubting the lord's will Instead of standing tall I can't allow myself to have an...

In this part of Africa we all have a saying Whenever something bad happens We just throw our hands to the sky and say Hasa Diga Eebowai Hasa Diga Eebowai? It's the only way to get through all these troubled times There's war! Poverty! Famine! But having a saying makes it all seem better There isn't enough food to eat Hasa Diga Eebowai People are starving in the street Hasa Diga Eebowai Hasa Diga Eebowai Hasa Diga Eebowai Well that's pretty neat! Does it mean no worries for the rest of your days? Kind of... We've had no rain in several days Hasa Diga Eebowai And 80% of us have AIDS Hasa Diga Eebowai Many young girls here get circumcized The clits get cut right off (Way-oh!) And so we say up to the sky, Hasa Diga Eebowai Hasa Diga Eebowai Hasa Diga Eebowai Now you try! Just stand up tall, Tilt your head to the sky, And list off the bad things in your life. Somebody took our luggage away Hasa Diga Eebowai The plane was crowded and the bus was late Hasa Diga Eebowai Whe...
