What a Piece of Work is Man / Walking in Space (Reprise)
(Part I: What a Piece of Work is Man)

[RONNIE & WALTER]
What a piece of work is man
How noble in reason
How infinite in faculties

[RONNIE]
In form and moving, how express and admirable

[RONNIE & WALTER]
In action, how like an angel

[RONNIE]
In apprehension, how like a god

[RONNIE & WALTER]
The beauty of the world
The paragon of animals

[RONNIE]
I have of late
But wherefore I know not
Lost all my mirth
This goodly frame
The earth
Seems to me a sterile promontory
[WALTER]
This most excellent canopy
The air
Look you
This brave o'erhanging firmament

[RONNIE & WALTER]
This majestical roof fretted with golden firе
Why it appears no other thing to me
Than a foul and pеstilent congregation of vapors

What a piece of work is man
How noble in reason

(Part II: Walking in Space (Reprise))

[TRIBE]
How dare they try to end this beauty?
How dare they try to end this beauty?

[SHEILA & JEANIE]
Walking in space
We find the purpose of peace
The beauty of life
You can no longer hide
[TRIBE]
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open

[SHEILA & JEANIE]
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open

[TRIBE]
