LOST HORIZON
"Look at the world today
Is there anything more pitiful?
But when has the world known any other time?
What madness there is. What blindness.
What unintelligent leadership.
A furiously racing mass of bewildered humanity,
strengthening, not in wisdom, but in vulgar passions,
crashing headlong into each other,
motivated by greed and propelled into brutality.
The time must come when evil will destroy itself.
I will not live to see that day.
But you might, my son, and that is why you have been
brought to Shangri-La.
For when the day comes that the world begins to look for a
new life,
it is our belief they will find their reservoir of hope
here.
So here we shall stay,
with our books and music and our meditation.
Here we shall be with our way of life based on one simple
rule-be kind.
And it is our hope that Shangri-La's brotherly love will
then
spread throughout the world.
And when the strong have devoured each other, then, at
last,
the meek shall inherit the earth.
High Llama"
Dialogue from the much maligned musical version of the
film, 'LOST HORIZON'
Now, why not listen to a song from the film?
'Reflections' sung by Sally Kellerman (better known for her portrayal of 'Hotlips' in
the M.A.S.H movie)
When you look at yourself
Do you like what you see?
If you like what you see
You're the person you should be
'cause your reflection reflects in everything you do
and everything you do reflects on you...
When you wake up each day
Do you like how you feel?
If you like how you feel
You've got nothing to conceal
'cause your reflection reflects in everything you do
and everything you do reflects on you...
Doing something for someone
else
Isn't really for someone else
It does twice as much for you as something you do
Just for yourself
When you lay down asleep
Do you like all your dreams?
If you like all your dreams
Life's as happy as it seems
'cause your reflection reflects in everything you do
and everything you do reflects on you...
