Jorge Rivera-Herrans - My Goodbye

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2067941
ATHENA, ODYSSEUS
You were reckless, sentimental at best
That's not a teaching of mine
You've grown soft, your dead friends can attest
Hey!
Put your emotions aside
You're a warrior meant to lead the rest
I don't know where I went wrong
But I warned ya', and you failed the test
So now I'm gone

This way, you'll know what your place is
This way, you can't cross the line
This way, when all is over you'll keep yours and I'll keep mine
This way, you won't disappoint me
This way, you won't waste my time
This way, I'll close the door
Consider this as my goodbye

ODYSSEUS
That's just likе you, why should I be surprised?
Selfish and pridеful and vain
Unlike you, every time someone dies
I'm left to deal with the strain
What's a title that a goddess could lend if I'll never sleep at night?
I'll remind you I saw you as a friend
But now we're done
This way, you're out of my head now
This way, you won't plague my life
This way, when all is done, you're out of sight and out of mind
This way, you get what you wanted
This way, you can save your time
This way, you close the door and have your damn goodbye

ATHENA
You're not looking for a mentor
I'm not looking for a friend
I mistook you for a general
What a waste of effort spent

ODYSSEUS
At least I know what I'm fighting for
While you're fighting to be known
Since you claim you're so much wiser
Why's your life spent all alone?
You're alone

ATHENA
One day, you'll hear what I'm saying
One day, you might understand
One day, but not today, for after all you're

ENSEMBLE
Just a man

ATHENA, ENSEMBLE
This day, you sever your own head
This day, you cut the line
This day, you lost it all
Consider this as my goodbye
Oh
Consider this as my goodbye
Oh
This is my goodbye
Ohh
Consider this as my goodbye
Oh
This is my goodbye

Biography

edit bio
The creator of the University of Notre Dame’s first ever original musical, Jorge Rivera-Herrans is a 22 year old composer, lyricist, and performer who graduated from Notre Dame in May of 2020. Raised in Dorado, Puerto Rico, Jorge grew up studying intensely for a life in medicine, but then switched during his first year at Notre Dame when he realized his passion was in musical theatre. After receiving backlash for the sudden change, Jorge teamed up with his professor, Matt Hawkins, to write Stupid Humans, a musical about a med school dropout who chases his dreams of becoming a songwriter. The musical debuted to a sold out run (including an extra show that sold out in 33 seconds) at the University of Notre Dame in February of 2019.

Now, while Stupid Humans (now titled My Heart Says Go) is being developed with The Goodman Theatre and with Apples and Oranges Arts, Jorge is writing his biggest project yet: EPIC, an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
