Galileo, marrige of Figaro
You have shown the world where we
ought to go
Mother, Mahatma, Madiba, together forever
Wondrous things beyond what I can understand
The television where I watched a Doctor
grow a human hand
Great woman and men
You can say that again
You are nothing like them
What does it take to be great, is it fate?
What does it take to be great, is it fate?
What it takes to be great is a tortured state
As a child you drew up an impressive list
Astronaut, fire-woman, archaeologist
Something that mattered
Oh Darling, you had it
what happened?
What does it take to be great, is it fate?
What does it take to be great, is it fate?
What it takes to be great is a tortured state
And fate
So you can home
Why would you want to be great anyway?
Why would you want to be great anyway?
What it takes to be great is a tortured state
And I know you've got that made
But fate
Yes fate
You can go home now
You can go home
