La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
[JENNY]
I'm Jenny
[SARA]
I'm Sara
[JENNY]
She's Sara
[SARA]
She's Jen
[BOTH]
Been best friends forever
[JENNY]
Well, since we were ten
[BOTH]
Met at ballet class
And ever since then
We became inseparable
[JENNY]
The damage was irreparable
[SARA]
Jen's like my sister
[JENNY]
And Sara's like mine
[BOTH]
Friends till the end of the line
Had nothing much in common
[SARA]
Loved horses
[JENNY]
Loved shoes
[BOTH]
But we were attached at the hip
[SARA]
Jen was like a goddess
My mentor and muse
[JENNY]
She was a nerd and a drip
[BOTH]
But we would be together every hour of the day
People would see us and say:
It's Jenny, and Sara
Two peas in a pod
[SARA]
Well, if one pea was perfect
[JENNY]
And one pea was odd
First string-
[SARA]
And spare!
[BOTH]
On the volleyball squad
[JENNY]
Happy and gregarious
[SARA]
My thrills were just vicarious
[JENNY coughs]
[SARA, SPOKEN]
Woo
[JENNY]
She'd point the spotlight
[SARA]
She'd bask in the shine
[BOTH]
Friends till the end of the line
[JENNY]
My skin was just like porcelain
Hers was all zits
[SARA]
My pores were perpetually blocked
[JENNY]
I developed early
She had no tits
[SARA]
My cupboard was woefully stocked
[JENNY]
Why would I be seen
With such a social refugee?
[SARA]
'Cause you always looked good next to me!
[JENNY, SPOKEN]
That's right!
[BOTH, SUNG]
So we were Jenny, and Sarah
A vulgar display
[SARA]
The queen of the prom
[JENNY]
And her weird protege
I starred-
[SARA]
I ran lights-
[BOTH]
In the school cabaret
[JENNY]
I mean, have you heard Sarah sing?
Good golly, it's embarrassing
[SARA sings a feeble note]
[BOTH]
We were contrary forces
Who somehow combine
Friends till the end of the line
[SARA]
Then something crazy happened
Right after twelfth grade
That summer I blossomed and bloomed
I stepped into the sunlight
After years in the shade
And a beautiful swan was exhumed
[JENNY]
Meanwhile, I was working
At the local Dairy Queen
And ballooned up to plus-size sixteen
[SARA, SPOKEN]
Uh-Jenny
[JENNY]
Eighteen
It's just so delicious
[SARA]
We both showed up to college
And, no need to pretend
I was popular right off the bat
And everyone was asking:
Sarah, who is your friend?
The one who's so-
[JENNY, SPOKEN]
Interesting?
[SARA, SPOKEN]
Fat
(SUNG)
All this malice aimed at Jenny
Was quite startling and new
So I did what all best friends would do
I said, I'm Sarah. She's Jenny
(BEAT)
We used to be close
Now she's desperate, and clingy
And sort of morose
I heard she gobbles
Peanut Buster parfaits by the gross
In all the world is there a sight
More tragic than this parasite?
[BOTH]
So that is our story
And ain't it divine!
Friends till the end of the-
[JENNY]
The cold bitter end
[SARA]
I guess
[BOTH]
This is the end of the line
