His Happy Place

The world is watching, Roy
They always are
Not like this
We have a chance here to make something different
They aren't just amusements this time, they're-
Everything you make is different, you're Walt Disney
No, I'm not
You're not?
Of course not
Walt Disney doesn't smoke

When steps are made
The barricade
Is how the world perceives
My work persists
Yet Walt insists
On being the man
That history receives

What are you talking about, Walt?
I showed Robert Moses the plan for the city
He was impressed
I don't doubt it, but that doesn't mean that we can just go on ahead-
Don't bore me with that, you've said it all before

If you could see what I see
If you could only grasp my visions
We have to make decisions, Walter
It's not for me
Or this company

It doesn't matter who it's for
But it does

There's something more
The world has yet to see

We've already bought the land, what more do you want?
I want you to understand what we could be a part of here together
Yes, but I have spoken to the Board about feasibility
And we have to make changes in order to make this project legal
Let alone viable

You can build it
You can build it
Just forget the naysayers

Walter, listen to me!
The point is that I do see what you see
But I also see what you don't see
If you saw what I see, you wouldn't be hesitating

I know it seems like delusion to you
But to me, no dream is too distant
I give you hundreds of miracles
Yet to my paradise you stay resistant
If you would only listen
Tomorrow's world could glisten
And glow
But Walt-
I know!
My wit's at an all time low!

Believe in me
Achieve with me
I promise we'll be fine, Roy
You're always stressed
So I'm suppressed
Well, take this as a sign, Roy

People stay amused by just
Our simplest machination
But gaze upon my masterwork
Our mark upon the nation
Why can't creation strive for more?

Like it or not, we are building EPCOT
And I want to do it with you
But I don't want you grumbling the whole time
If I had listened to you all those years
We would have accomplished nothing
So you can keep complaining about your numbers
Or you can join me in changing the world!

You've already changed the world
Hell, you practically own it!
There's only so much that one man can do, Walter!

If you want to squander your legacy
On cartoons and kiddie rides, be my guest!
But I will not go down in history as the man
Who distracted America from her problems
Instead of doing something about them!

So side with me
Come guide with me
We'll make tomorrow ours, Roy
Forget the how
Forget the now
Don't be the one who cowers, Roy!

All us cogs just keep on spinning
As our patience keeps on thinning
We can see you won't be grounded
Once your world is founded
What about us
Poor cogs that keep on spinning
As our patience keeps on thinning?
We can see you won't be grounded
Once your world is founded
What about us?

I know in time you'll see that I'm right
Walt Disney may not smoke but
I'll make this flame burn bright
To build this happy place
I can build this happy place
I will build this happy place
Now that I've willed this happy place

I must build this happy place
You can build it
My chance to build this happy place
Who can stop you?
I have to build this happy place
You can build this happy place
No one can build this happy place
But
Me!

So Roy-
Roy?
Some people just don't understand, huh, Abe?
The world has never had a good definition of the word "liberty"
And the American people, just now, are much in want of one
Well, how about that
We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word...
