Galileo

by Indigo Girls

Arrangement: David Jayden Anthony
Voicing: SSATB with solos

I do not own the rights to this song, this is just an example of what kinds of arrangements I can create for others. 

Lyrics:

 Galileo’s head was on the blockThe crime was lookin’ up the truthAnd as the bombshells of my daily fears explodeI try to trace them to my youthAnd then you had to bring up reincarnationOver a couple of beers the other nightAnd now I’m serving time for mistakesMade by another in another life time How long ’til my soul gets it rightCan any human being ever reach that kind of lightI call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night visionKing of insightAnd then I think about my fear of motionWhich I never could explainSome other fool across the ocean years agoMust have crashed his little airplaneHow long ’til my soul gets it rightCan any human being ever reach that kind of lightI call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night visionKing of insightI’m not making a jokeYou know me I take everything so seriouslyIf we wait for the time ’til all souls get it rightThen at least I know there’ll be no nuclear annihilation in my life timeI’m still not right I offer thanks to those before meThat’s all I’ve got to say‘Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetimeNow I have to pay But then again it feels like some sort of inspirationTo let the next life off the hookOr she’ll say look what I had to overcome from my last lifeI think I’ll write a book How long ’til my soul gets it rightCan any human being ever reach the highest lightExcept for Galileo, God rest his soulKing of the night vision, king of insightHow long (until my soul gets it right)How long (until my soul gets it right)How long
