my perpetual inspiration…

musical theatre.

i have felt so inspired and driven lately and i’m excited to see what’s to come of these next few months (because i may or may not have a few schemes up my sleeve).

below i have posted lyrics of a song that… pretty much sums up how i’ve been feeling lately, and perhaps how i’ve always felt. (if you don’t want to read the lyrics, even though i highly recommend it, i’ve included a YouTube video of it… so maybe you can play the video and read the lyrics at the same time? clever, no?) but watch the video if you have time because the ending is fierce.

Spark of Creation, from Children of Eden (by Stephen Schwartz)

I’ve got an itching on the tips of my fingers
I’ve got a boiling in the back of my brain
I’ve got a hunger burning inside me, cannot be denied
I’ve got feeling that the Father who made us
When he was kindling a pulse in my veins
He left a tiny spark of that fire, smoldering inside

The spark of creation, is flickering within me
The spark of creation, is blazing in my blood
A bit of the fire that lit up the stars
And breathed life into the mud, the first inspiration
The spark of creation

I see a mountain and I want to climb it
I see a river and I want to leave shore
Where there was nothing let there be something, something made by me
There’s things waiting for me to invent them
There’s worlds waiting for me to explore
I am an echo of the eternal cry of
“Let there be!”

The spark of creation, burning bright within me
The spark of creation, won’t let me rest at all
Until I discover or build or uncover
A thing that I can call, my celebration
Of the spark creation

The spark of creation, may it burn forever
The spark creation, I am a keeper of the flame
We think all we want is a lifetime of leisure
Each perfect day the same
Endless vacation
Well that’s alright if you’re a kind of crustacean
But when you’re born with an imagination
Sooner of later you’re feeling the fire get hotter and higher
The spark of creation
