There's another line that bothers me, a bit, in this song:

"imperfection, it be my crime"

First of all, it's not a crime not to be perfect, and second of all, deep down I believe all of us are perfect.

The only way any of us could be considered imperfect would be to compare ourselves to the Platonic Ideal. One: Comparisons are odious, and Two: the Platonic Ideal doesn't exist.

Our individual weaknesses compliment our strengths, and give us the oportunity to grow and learn. How could we be perfect if we couldn't grow or learn?

I may not be perfect in the Ideal sense, but I'm perfect in the Real -- no one can be a better CapriUni than I can. ;-)

But I can't think of a substitute line that would fit that melody and scansion... Any ideas on what idea Pat Humphries was trying to convey with that phrase, anyway?

Still the ratio of "Right on!" lines to "Yes, but" lines is pretty high, in my estimation...
