Fred Ebb
Fred Ebb (April 8, 1928 – September 11, 2004) was an American musical theatre lyricist who had many successful collaborations with composer John Kander. The Kander and Ebb team frequently wrote for such performers as Liza Minnelli and Chita Rivera.
Background
Ebb was born in Manhattan, to Anna Evelyn (née Gritz) and Harry Ebb. He had two sisters, Norma and Estelle. He worked during the early 1950s bronzing baby shoes, as a trucker's assistant, and was also employed in a department store credit office and at a hosiery company. He graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in English Literature, and also earned his master's degree in English from Columbia University.
One of his early collaborators was Phil Springer, and a song they wrote together ("I Never Loved Him Anyhow") was recorded by Carmen McRae in 1956. Another song Ebb wrote with Springer was "Heartbroken" (1953), which was recorded by Judy Garland, the mother of his future protégée, Liza Minnelli. Other Springer-Ebb tunes include "Moonlight Gambler" and "Nevertheless I Never Lost the Blues". "Don't Forget", which he wrote with Norman Leyden, was recorded by singer Eddy Arnold in 1954.

Through These Eyes
by: Word UpSee through these eyes.
Faces change a millions times.
Like rats they come and go.
And their teeth are sinking deeper Into the skin
tearing holes in this place I've called my home.
Where I can let go of everything inside.
Through these eyes.
This is the only place where I forget everything.
Through these eyes.
This is the only place where I can lose my mind.
I'm holding on,
This is all I've got.
Everything else lays in pieces.
This is all I've got.
I've got no other place to break this cage.
Break this cage!
