Asilama:
You Could Have Been a Saint,
If you'd
only kept the cause.
You had your feet upon the path
yet somehow lost
your way
When you thought that you could fake it
By skipping through
the woods
And the forest terrified you
Did you really think you could
Make it?
Martin:
I Could Have Been a Saint,
But I ain't ready to save.
I was working on my own way
To a green and pleasant grave
When I thought that I could reach her
By breaking cosmic laws
Yet now I know what I did wrong and understand the cause.
Mmm, Mmm.
(As Martin has been singing in reply to Asilama, the spotlight has been on
Martin, leaving Asilama in darkness. The spot now turns to the place where
Asilama had been standing and we see that the white-clad figure is now
replaced by Amalisa.)
Amalisa:
Yes, you may get another chance,
To answer man's lost cause.
Now how do you think you'll face
your friends when born again?
Would you teach them to lose patience or
Faith in cosmic laws?
Whilst they fight for explanations
Can you justify what was
Mmm, Mmm.?
Amalisa:
You Could Have Been a Saint,
Should have made the sacrifice
You'd have seen paradise
But now you must return and roam the Earth
And tell of what you've seen and heard
(Amilama joins her and they sing together - key change)
Amalisa, Asilama:
You Could Have Been a Saint,
If you'd only kept the faith.
You had your feet upon the path
Yet somehow lost your way
When you thought that you could fake it
By skipping through the woods
And the forest terrified you
Did you really think you could
Make it?
Amalisa, Asilama and Chorus:
Soon you'll find that you've been
seen
From near; from far;
from everywhere between.
People will retell of you,
You'll be a man so wise
Although no
You'll never be a saint
The saints will be seen in your eyes.
You could have been a saint, You could have been a saint
