Keep Your Friends Close - Jorge Rivera-Herrans/Cast of EPIC: The Musical/Kira Stone/Anna Lea

Lyrics by：Jorge Miguel Rivera-Herrans

Composed by：Jorge Miguel Rivera-Herrans

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
