William destroyed the contracts.

- Come on! Come on.

- Yeah, right.

[grunts] Ow!

Idiot! Ugh!

- Ow!

- Get off!

- No. You are strong.

- Get off!

[gasps]

What? Oh.

[both scream]

[both sigh]

[Linda] Ah...

Huh...

Well... you swept me

off my feet.

Now what?

[cheering]

[laughs]

[cheers]

[song in foreign language plays]

[cheering]

You know, he used my love song.

Dad, Rajit's been doing research

on a rye zone

that repels weevils.

Cool. I hate weevils.

[aHlaugh]

Our methods combine perfectly.

I'm going to miss you

in the rice paddies, my son.

Really?

[laughs]

Look at all the places

We have gone r

There was a time

We used to live as one a'

Look at all the things

That we have learned a'

The way we rise

So we fall and burn a'

Why do we say

That we went off the path r

See, I'm where I am

'Cause of where I was at a'

Let's keep ahead 4'

And our voices will be heard I'

And our voices will be heard I'

Modern day and past

Can live as one a'

We share the light, the heat

From our own sun r

Even if we're lost

In a crowd I'

A village it takes

And we will be found r

Sometimes we hold back

The things we want to say I

And I've never lived

Just to fight another day a'

Let's keep ahead 4'

And our voices will be heard I'

Together all

Our voices will be heard a'

Sometimes our hears break

And sometimes our souls ache a'

But know that

We're never alone a'

Our voices will be heard a'

Sometimes our dreams take

Longer than we'll wait a'

Till one day

We find our way home I

So keep on ahead a'

Our voices in time

Will be heard I

Our voices will be heard a'

Together all

Our voices will be heard a'

Together all a'

In time we find our way home a'

But first

We make ourselves known r

There's weight to each grain 4'

No matter how small

It may seem a'

And in time

We find our way home I

But first

We make ourselves known r

There is weight

To each grain r

No matter how small

It may seem a'

a' Oh, in time

We make our way home a'

In these streets

We sing you a song 4'

May the light in our hearts

Give us strength r

To guide us along s'

And we'll see the change

The seed is in our palm 4'

Together, our voices a'

Together, our voices a'

Will be heard a'

You make everything sound

horrible for no reason.

-[cow moos loudly]

- That's because you just make--

Quiet!

[laughs]

How is there a cow there?

How is there a cow there?

- There's a cow there.

- How is there a cow there?

[Gurgon]

a' Think about the greater good 4'

3

A broader point of view r

We're all for

The greater good a'

I'

The many need the few r

[Evelyn]

Heed the higher call

And leave the charge

For one and all r

[both] J' Start working for

The greater good

[William] J' Now I see

It's all for the greater good

[Gurgon and Evelyn]

Time to take your vow

You will give it all

For the greater good I

A'

EVE" eat a COW I'

[Gurgon]

a' Humanity is great a'

[William] At least the ones

Who pull their weight

[Gui-gun]

a It ain't even, but it's fair r

[William] J' The lion

Takes the lion's share

To motivate

The working class r

[Evelyn] You're gonna have to

Kick some ass I

[all] J' While working

For the greater...

A'

You're the innovator r

a'

Working for the greater... a'

a'

Good r

[Raiitl

a' If I had a hundred arms a'

If I had a hundred arms

To hold you a'

S'

I would never let you go a'

a'

Away from me a'

[Rajit and Linda] I would give

The universe to you

I would make all the flowers

Bloom on cue

I would make a diamond ring

of every shining star a'

But I am only human

After all a'

a' I am just a fool

About to fall a'

And all I have to give a'

Is one big foolish heart I'

[song in foreign language]

a' Obey

Your blood and your name r

Obey the law of

your heart a'

Obey the law of

your heart a'

Obey the law of

your heart a'
