Here are the lyrics that are being projected behind me:



Waking up on a Sunday morning

The sun's a-rising in all her glory

Another beautiful day to be spent... inside.



I walk through the doors and hear children screaming,

Grace on the phone, Tony singing

The echoes of Linzeen's high-heels down the hall.



While Little and YoYo are herding the cats

I get a greeting from Jeanne:

"Today you look fat!"

I won't take it personally, I'm sure she meant it well.



(Chorus)

Well, ooh-hoo everyone has a story

Every one of those stories brought us here.

Well, ooh-hoo everyone has a story

Who'd've ever believed that we'd be here?



Lucas is asking 'bout somthing I said

Three weeks ago, that's still in his head

And Betty, you know, has an idea, you know

for class, you know...



Liz's smug look says her mind's in the gutter

Yep, it's confirmed as she walks away muttering

Jenny, draw one more line

But don't tell Blade! You might make him blush!



(Chorus)



Annie's return is like a warm summer day

Cherry's patience and grace make her our "Da meinu"

Maeghan's endurance warrants Rookie of the Year (especially on those sleeping hours!)



There's a zoo breaking loose, lions feeding on Cedrick

Pooh's bumpin' with Queena and Anita's new dance tricks

The chaos explains why Tawanna's door is locked.



(Chorus)



Amy, my bee, is so full of sweetness

Always so bubbly... except around Felix

Who admitted at last that he's half Panda Bear... Ladies?



It seems like our LPs are dropping like flies

Even now you can see the look in their eyes

They're plotting and scheming the next great COUP DE GRACE



Can you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men.

It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again.

When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drum

There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.

(A nod to Les Miserables)



There's one little name that I haven't yet mentioned

I'd better get on it or she'll starve for attention

Peggy and Zoe don't you dare take her side! Not this time!



The friends that I've found here are second to none

Loving, caring, loyal and fun

So fresh in a world where good friends are hard to find...

...has anyone checked the bathroom?

(Chorus and out!)
