The Street Still Beats

Broadway musical, show tune, theatrical hip-hop, orchestral pop, storytelling, male rap, ensemble

Suddenly a flash, blinding white, ignited the air Big Bird's twang mug, gasping, caught unaware Oscar popped the lid, looking 'round with a stare Asking, "What in the furry heck is happening out there?" Then a trumpet blast cut, silence took the lead Snuffy vanished in a shimmer, golden speed Ernie clutching on his cookie, disappearing with a shout Yelling "Bert!" before the lights on the street went out Bert... gone

Paperclips left in a stack Cookie Monster ascended, no turning back Crumbs trailing in the sky, like a snack attack Even The Count stuck in middle of a track Then faded to black Chaos on the pavement, where did everybody go? Big Bird trembling, Elmo muffled in the wool But the street still here, yeah the street still here We gotta navigate the silence and the sudden fear

The raptured are gone But the message is clear We stay behind to keep the atmosphere

Now look at Oscar, firmly planted on the ground Hmph, he says, looking at the lack of sound "Those goody two-shoes finally got what they found Now I can have some peace and quiet all around!" He slammed the lid shut, retreating to the dark Reveling in solitude, distinct and stark Left with the ones who missed the saintly mark Big Bird breaks things, Elmo throws a spark But we gotta reignite the park

We can't just sit here, we can't just freeze Elmo started up a club, "Listen Up, Please" Sharing is caring, even when you're left behind A revolutionary state of mind

And Big Bird, he ain't resigning to the blues He grabbed Oscar, yeah he didn't get to choose Kindness counts, even if nobody's counting We climbing up the mountain

Life's gotten a little quieter, a little less crowd But a little more, and we say it loud We missed the vanished, yeah we missed the crew But the values that we taught, they apply to me and you Kindness, sharing, learning, they survived the flight Driving in the absence, shining in the light We holding down the fort, we gonna be alright

We gonna be alright

Upholding the values Pushing through, the rapture came But the street stays true

Yo, the morning broke, just a standard scene Big Bird on the ABCs, keeping it clean Ernie creeping for a cookie, sneaky routine Oscar grumbling about the day, acting mean and green Just a Tuesday on the block, or so it seems Suddenly a flash, blinding white, ignited the air Big Bird's twang mug, gasping, caught unaware Oscar popped the lid, looking 'round with a stare Asking, "What in the furry heck is happening out there?" Then a trumpet blast cut, silence took the lead Snuffy vanished in a shimmer, golden speed Ernie clutching on his cookie, disappearing with a shout Yelling "Bert!" before the lights on the street went out Bert... gone Paperclips left in a stack Cookie Monster ascended, no turning back Crumbs trailing in the sky, like a snack attack Even The Count stuck in middle of a track Then faded to black Chaos on the pavement, where did everybody go?
