The Stars Look Down Billy Elliot Original Cast

[Spoken OVERHEAD VOICE]
For over seventy years miners of Durham County have come together once a year for their demonstration and gala day. This was the first Durham rally since the pits handed over to the people. This year one of the popular attraction was Mr. Herbert Morrison, who spoke of the link of solidarity between miners and other workers

[Spoken HERBERT MORRISON]
I want you men of the pits to come through. I want these streets clean of nationalization to succeed triumphantly. The whole country is watching to see how this great new organization, this new adventure, this new experiment, comes out. The great experiment of socialism in a democracy depends on you. The whole future we are trying to conduct in our country is for all our people and all our children, and it depends on you

[ENSEMBLE, MINERS]
Through the dark, and
Through the hunger
Through the night and
Through the fear
Through the fight and
Years of hardship
Through the storms and
Through the tears
And although your feet are weary
And although your soul is worn
And although they'll try to break you
And although you'll feel alone
We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm
We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm

And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and we'll stand together
To see a day
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
