There once was a little girl playing on a swing set One her grandpa built by the sycamore tree Near the rusty farmyard gate And while her mama pinned the laundry The little girl would cry out loud "Push me higher! Push me higher! Push me, I can't wait!" Her mama would push a couple times But there was laundry still to do So she learned to use her own strength Pull her own weight, push on through To swing higher, higher than before Higher, but scared to reach for something more Higher, higher towards the sky Until the day she bent to kiss her mama a last goodbye There once was a little boy who loved that swing set He had a licorice twist from the store in town And two knobby skinned-up knees While his sister pin the laundry That little boy would cry out loud "Push me higher! Push me higher! Push me pretty please!" The girl would push a couple times But there was laundry still to do Then she watched, amazed, as suddenly He pulled his own weight through To swing higher, higher than she dared Higher, he flew so high, he wasn't scared Higher, he could touch the sky Right then, she knew that he would also one day Tell her goodbye That little boy, he seemed so sure Was it something never taught to her? How the years passed quickly by That girl's a woman still afraid to try Is it too late to start again? Get back that feeling I had then? But now my life is upside down There's no more farm, there's no more town And no use asking why, but I won't let it pass me by Life won't pass me by, I'll fly Get back on that swing Higher, soaring higher up than anything Higher, I want something more I dreamed I'd reach for greater things My eyes upon those golden rings I'll take what chance the future brings and soar
The musical was shown in movie theaters twice a couple of months ago. I captured this vid from the movie theater screen using my phone. But what you see on the screen is the professionally filmed version of the show.
A lovely voice and like to see her performance always. However, I just feel her facial express seem so angry in this play, compared to the previous plays that she roled. still like her song and power of voice much!
Well, her character and her character's family had just lost everything they owned - house, farm, town, etc. Her and her family had just got imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit, sent to the most desolate and degrading camps after getting yanked away from their home in the middle of the night, got treated like enemies only because they looked like the people that bombed Pearl Harbor, her brother and father just can't see eye to eye to save their lives, just got slapped in the face with such an insulting questionnaire questioning their allegiance and loyalty to their country, her brother and lover are on two opposite sides of war while she is caught in the middle, ones she loves just got drafted to go to war.... I got wayyyyyy to many to list, but I'll stop there, otherwise, I'd go on forever... So I believe I just gave you more than reasonable reasons as to why her expressions seem "angry" throughout this play. And quite frankly, hell, I'd be wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more than angry if I were in her shoes.
Her voice is so clear and magical

There once was a little girl playing on a swing set
One her grandpa built by the sycamore tree
Near the rusty farmyard gate
And while her mama pinned the laundry
The little girl would cry out loud
"Push me higher! Push me higher! Push me, I can't wait!"
Her mama would push a couple times
But there was laundry still to do
So she learned to use her own strength
Pull her own weight, push on through
To swing higher, higher than before
Higher, but scared to reach for something more
Higher, higher towards the sky
Until the day she bent to kiss her mama a last goodbye
There once was a little boy who loved that swing set
He had a licorice twist from the store in town
And two knobby skinned-up knees
While his sister pin the laundry
That little boy would cry out loud
"Push me higher! Push me higher! Push me pretty please!"
The girl would push a couple times
But there was laundry still to do
Then she watched, amazed, as suddenly
He pulled his own weight through
To swing higher, higher than she dared
Higher, he flew so high, he wasn't scared
Higher, he could touch the sky
Right then, she knew that he would also one day
Tell her goodbye
That little boy, he seemed so sure
Was it something never taught to her?
How the years passed quickly by
That girl's a woman still afraid to try
Is it too late to start again?
Get back that feeling I had then?
But now my life is upside down
There's no more farm, there's no more town
And no use asking why, but I won't let it pass me by
Life won't pass me by, I'll fly
Get back on that swing
Higher, soaring higher up than anything
Higher, I want something more
I dreamed I'd reach for greater things
My eyes upon those golden rings
I'll take what chance the future brings and soar
