Here Within These Walls (《修女也疯狂》伦敦首演录音) - Original London Cast of Sister Act
Outside life's a mess
No one's pure of spirit any longer
There's no wrong or right
Just wrong and wronger
People have amused themselves to death
Outside life is grim
Filled with smut and scandal to the brim
I suppose there may be room for him
Frankly I don't plan to hold my breath
But here within these
Walls days are filled with grace
God is in his place his
Wisdom still respected
Here within these walls
Life has a different pace
From life beyond our doors
And for what it's worth
This life's now yours
Outside all is vice
People now are absolutely shameless
Most including those who shall be nameless
Hardly seem to know or even care
Outside all is sin
And I won't have the outside coming in
Trust me it's a battle you won't win
Frankly dear you haven't got a prayer
Here within these walls
Life is sweet and good
Faith is understood and
Selfishness rejected
Here within this words
Work prayer and sisterhood
Are what life's built upon
That's how it will stay or
Else you're gone
So put aside your gluttony
Put aside your pride
As for carnal lust you
Need a break I trust
Put it all aside
Put aside interperance
Profanity as well
Put aside each remnant of
Your former worldly shell
Here within these walls
All is stripped away
Surrender and obey
That's all that is expected
Here within these walls
All else is kept at bay
Through the world may go astray
Here etenal truths hold sway
Here within these walls
Life is truly blessed
Here you're god's own guest
Celestially protectedet
Here within these walls
All's for the very best
And always shall be thus
And if heaven's will be done
Here she'll just be one
More nun
Safe within these walls as one of us
Salve salve amen
