"Beautiful Danger/Poor Little Rich Boy (ACT I)" Lyrics [edit]
by Brian Doerksen | from the album Prodigal God
 

THE YOUNGER SON My Beautiful Danger
THE YOUNG WOMAN My Canaan Prince
THE YOUNGER SON Where’s home?
THE YOUNG WOMAN Every place and no place
Where there’s something to be gained, we go
THE YOUNGER SON When there’s something to be lost?
THE YOUNG WOMAN We fly
THE YOUNGER SON Who’s we?
THE YOUNG WOMAN The poets like to say
All roads lead to Rome
But my uncle likes to add, in his brutal Roman way
“First you must pay me the toll”
THE YOUNGER SON (Spoken) I see
I’ve been known to fly myself
THE YOUNG WOMAN Did you fly from home?
THE YOUNGER SON Well, yes
THE YOUNG WOMAN I see you’ve not lost much along the way
THE YOUNGER SON You’d be surprised
THE YOUNG WOMAN How much did you have when you left your father’s house?
THE YOUNGER SON (Spoken) You’d be surprised
You can let your uncle know
I am free from his constraints
If I seek a face to face with Caesar’s Mighty Self
There’s no stopping me
There’s no topping me
I can do anything
THE YOUNG WOMAN Anything?
THE YOUNGER SON Well, many things
THE YOUNG WOMAN (Spoken) For your sake, I’ll keep that to myself
THE YOUNGER SON And where is your uncle today?
THE YOUNG WOMAN Look close
And you will see him today
As the raiders overpower
And you cower from the soldiers
And the quaking beggars leech upon your soul
You can feel him reach around you
You can tremble in his wake
You can know your life is not your own for long
THE YOUNGER SON Then why do his bidding?
THE YOUNG WOMAN Few ask that question
THE YOUNGER SON Why do his bidding?
THE YOUNG WOMAN Few have the freedom you flaunt
Little rich boy
THE YOUNGER SON (Spoken) Little rich boy?!
THE YOUNG WOMAN Dear little rich boy (Spoken) I’ve said too much THE YOUNGER SON The truth is never too much to say
I’ll be truthful in kind
I have come to the end of my freedom, as you call it
Soon I will have nothing left
THE YOUNG WOMAN Poor little rich boy
So we may be losing you, our best customer
THE YOUNGER SON (Spoken) Customer?
THE YOUNG WOMAN We should fly
THE YOUNGER SON There is something else to lose right now
THE YOUNG WOMAN (Spoken) I don’t understand
THE YOUNGER SON Lose me as a customer, yes
But don’t lose me as a friend
Little rich boys can grow up to be wiser, if poorer, young men
THE YOUNG WOMAN You are full of yourself
THE YOUNGER SON (Spoken) I am
THE YOUNG WOMAN I am empty
