The song is "Being Alive" from Company. YouTube it; it's beautiful.

Somebody, hold me too close, Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair And ruin my sleep
And make me aware Of being alive,
Being alive.
Somebody, need me too much, Somebody, know me too well,
Somebody, pull me up short And put me through hell
And give me support For being alive,
Make me alive.
Make me confused, Mock me with praise,
Let me be used, Vary my days.
But alone is alone, not alive.
Somebody, crowd me with love, Somebody, force me to care,
Somebody, make me come through, I'll always be there,
As frightened as you, To help us survive
Being alive, Being alive,
Being alive

3. Do you believe that everything happens for a reason? Why or why not?
4. What's the grossest-sounding word you can think of (my vote goes to "flaccid")?
