Galileo the Musical - Never Give Up Lyrics


GALILEO:
So burn these books, Galileo
The nights are getting cold
As much use as they are to me

MARINA:
Just one knock to your ego
You're flat on your back
I'm ashamed that you've
Pulled yourself down

All your work with the stars
May seem right to you
But you must keep your
Feet on the ground

If you feel the need to
Go prove yourself
Go ahead
You've got what it takes

GALILEO:
With what funds?

MARINA:
You'll find them!

GALILEO:
And the Church?

MARINA:
You'll fight them! You're Galileo!

MARINA:
No, you'll never give up
No, you'll never give in
Strike ahead with your views
Or you never will win
Though your theories are strange
You've the power to change
And you'll damn all the
Fools in your way

GALILEO:
But I can't move an inch
With the Church in this land
They've the power
To crush us to ground

Even though I am sure
That the views that they hold
Are insane
I can't prove what I found

In the stars
I am sure what I'm looking for
Is there waiting
It's secrets to give

MARINA:
Have a look!

GALILEO:
Too far!

MARINA:
Have a look!

GALILEO:
The stars are too far away!

MARINA:
But you'll never give up
No, you'll never give in
Strike ahead with your views
Or you never will win
Though your theories are strange
You've the power to change
And you'll damn all the
Fools in your way

You have really got power
In the words that you speak
Count the students
With whom you align

Yet the men here in Rome
Who won't leave you alone
Make you bow, scrape
And toe the line

If you really know
You can win the war
Pick up swords
Let battle commence!

GALILEO:
With these books?

MARINA:
You'll shake them

GALILEO:
With my mind?

MARINA:
You'll shape them, to eternity!

No, you'll never give up
No, you'll never give in
Strike ahead with your views
Or you never will win
Though your theories are strange
You've the power to change
And you'll damn all the
Fools in your way
