So, for the past few days, I have had an excerpt from the song "Another Day" from the musical Rent stuck in my head. Rent is one of my favorite musicals of all time, and has many great themes. Plus, it is set in modern times, so it is easier for everyone to relate to. If you can't see the musical, it is out on DVD, and this is one "musical to movie" transition that really works (unlike Les Mis... don't even get me started on that one!!!) Anyways, the song is "Another Day" and these are some excerpts of my favorite parts. It starts out with Roger and Mimi singing togather, but at the end everyone is singing.


MIMI
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today
---
There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today



MIMI & OTHERS
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today...
---"Another Day" from Rent
