I was struck in Sutter Street Theatre's production of the 2012 revival of "Godspell" with how humanistic (rather than entirely religious) the lyrics of "Beautiful City" are. It's all the more remarkable considering that the song comes around the Last Supper. I'd like to be able to sing this song, in a humanistic way. Lyrics:
We can build
A beautiful city
Yes we can
Oh yes we can
We can build
A beautiful city
Call it out
And call it the city of man
