A Quiet Thing from the broadway musical Flora the Red Menace. :) 

When it all comes true
Just the way you planned
It's funny but the bells don't ring
It's a quiet thing

When you hold the world
In your trembling hand
You think you'd hear a choir sing
it's a quiet thing
a very quiet thing

There are no exploding fire works
Where's the roaring of the crowd
Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds

But I don't hear the drums
and I don't hear the band
The sounds i'm told
such moments bring

Happiness comes in a tiptoe
Well, what do you know
It's a quiet thing
A very quiet thing.

A Quiet Thing

So many times 
When my heart was broken
Visions of you
Would keep me strong
You were with me all along
Guiding my every step
You are all that I am
And I'll never forget

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And you showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed

<3 <3 <3 <3

A Better World
Ryan Cayabyab

I dream that one day
Our voices will somehow fill the earth
With joy forever
I dream that someday
Our wishes will somehow soon come true
And last forever

I dream that one day our songs in some way
Will bring a bright tomorrow
Full of love full of hope full of joy

I see this one day
When all the world will hear us
That someday when all will stand before us
Singing one song together
Everywhere singing
We are gonna love you people of the world
We are gonna make you a better world
We will all respect you people of the world
We are gonna make you a better world

AS LONG AS I HAVE MUSIC - Philippine Madrigal Singers
Composed by Don Besig
Choral Arrangement by Eudenice Palaruan
Yale Concert, 2009

When the world seems far beyond me, 
And I have no place to go, 
When my life seems cold and empty, 
And I feel I’m all alone, 
Then a song that I remember 
Helps to ease my troubled mind, 
And I find the strength within me
 To reach out just one more time

For as long as I have music, 
As long as there’s a song for me to sing, 
I can find my way, 
I can see a brighter day, 
The music in my life will set my spirit free

 When the road is dark and lonely,
 And I feel I want to cry, 
When the dreams I keep inside me, 
Seem to fade and almost die

Then I call upon my music, 
And it helps to dry my tears,
And I know that I can make it, 
I’ll go on despite my fears.

For as long as I have music, 
As long as there’s a song for me to sing, 
I can find my way,
 I can see a brighter day, 
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
