I Sing the Body Electric

I remember the Swing Choir singing lots of songs from Fame when I was in high school. I didn't sing, but I did play bass guitar with them. The Fame songs had the most interesting and do-able bass lines. I loved those songs because they MOVED!

This song, I remember being mystified as to what the words really meant, figuring I'd get it some day.

Today, I feel like I get it (at least part of it)! Can you tell? It's a great day!

I sing the body electric
I celebrate the me yet to come
I toast to my own reunion
When I become one with the sun

And I'll look back on Venus
I'll look back on Mars
And I'll burn with the fire of ten million stars
And in time
And in time
We will all be stars

I sing the body electric
I glory in the glow of rebirth
Creating my own tomorrow
When I shall embody the earth

And I'll serenade Venus
I'll serenade Mars
And I'll burn with the fire of ten million stars
And in time
And in time
We will all be stars

We are the emperors now
And we are the czars
And in time
And in time
We will all be stars

And in time, we will all be stars. So mote it be!
I've got it good!
