Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon
Out of the dark, a light starts iluminating a theather stage, as we get closer someone is visible out of there, a young man with a green streak on his hair, he is not alone, more people can be seen there, ready to sing when its their turn...
Morro: How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore
And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
In the Caribbean by providence impoverished
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
Kai: The ten-dollar founding father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter
Jay: And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
Cole: Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
Morro: Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world is gonna know your name
What's your name, man?
Lloyd: Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon
My name is Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait
Harumi: When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Lloyd and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick
Full cast (Whispering): And Alex got better but his mother went quick
Kai: Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying,
Full cast:" Lloyd, you gotta fend for yourself"
Kai: He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf
Morro: There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Full cast: Scammin'
Morro: for every book he can get his hands on
Full cast: Plannin'
Morro: for the future see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship headed for the new land
In New York you can be a new man
Full cast: In New York you can be a new man
Lloyd: Just you wait
Full cast: In New York you can be a new man
Lloyd: Just you wait
Full cast: In New York you can be a new man
In New York, New York
Lloyd: Just you wait!
Full cast (ladies): Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon!
Full cast (men): Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon
Full cast (ladies): We are waiting in the wings for you
Full cast (men): Waiting in the wings for you
Full cast: You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Full cast (ladies):Oh, Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon
Full cast (men): Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon
Full cast: When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote your game?
The world will never be the same, oh
Morro: The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
Full cast: Just you wait
Morro: Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom
Full cast: Just you wait
Morro: His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him
Jay, Cole, Zane and Scott: We, fought with him
Nelson and Kai: Me, I died for him
Wu: Me, I trusted him
Nya, Harumi and Akita: Me, I loved him
Morro: And me? I'm the damn fool who shoot him
Full cast: There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait
Morro: Whats your name man?
Full cast, Lloyd: Lloyd Mongomery Garmadon!
