Текст песни Keep Your Friends Close - Jorge Rivera-Herrans feat. Cast of EPIC: The Musical, Kira Stone, Anna Lea, Miguel Veloso, Armando Julián & Steven Rodriguez

Great wind God, Aeolus, I don't know if you know this
But our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm
I ask for your assistance, so we at last can go the distance
Can you cast the perfect winds for us and aid our journey home?

Ha-ha-ha, I am the wind, twisting and turning
I give the fire enough to stay burning
Let's play a game (a game?)
That's what I'm serving, and if you win, you will get what you're yearning (deal)

Take a look right here at this bag
It has the winds of the storm all trapped
All you gotta do is not open this bag
Sounds too easy, what's the catch?

Ha-ha-ha, keep your friends close and your enemies closer
(Never really know who you can trust)
If they wanna get the bag open, you gotta say, "No, sir"
(Sometimes killing is a must) what?

'Cause the end always justifies the means
Friends turn into foes and rivalries
So keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust, never really know who you can trust

Captain, what's happenin'? What's trapped in that bag?
Somethin' dangerous, friends, we mustn't lag
It's treasure (what?) bye-bye

Open the bag (let's see what you got)
No, do not

Everybody listen closely
See how this bag is closed? That's how it's supposed to be
This bag has the storm inside
We cannot let the treasure rumor fly (we'll try)

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)
Now they wanna get the bag open so they can have closure
Sometimes sneaking is a must (sometimes sneaking is a must)

'Cause the end always justifies the means
(Everything's changed since Polites, so)
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)

For nine days, I've stayed wide awake
Tryna make it home with no storm or tidal wave
I remain unopposed, the bag is still closed
And I'm getting closer to you

(Penelope) I can't wait to make some new memories
(Telemachus) time for me to be the father I never was
Just keep your eyes open
Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?

Just keep your eyes open
I keep on trying to embrace you both, why won't you let me?
Just keep your eyes open
So much has changed, but I'm the same, yes, I'm the same
Just keep your eyes open, keep your eyes open

Wake up
Wake up, Odysseus, they're opening the bag, wake up
No

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)
Storm, full speed ahead

Where's the storm taking us?
I said to keep the bag closed, but you weren't compliant
If I had to guess? You're heading to the land of the giants

Storm, storm
Help me close the bag (but sir, it's too late)
We can save whatever wind is left to use another day, come on

Odysseus of Ithaca
Do you know who I am?
