OK, moar Broadway help, plz!

Give some ideas for Broadway songs/numbers that:
a.) could be sung by a 2-part women's chorus
b.) fit into the theme of giving through service to the wider community.

GO!

Well, don't forget the two-part women's chorus bit.

Also, that's about building up your own life/community. What about giving to other people?

We're neither pure, nor wise, nor good
We'll do the best we know.
We'll build our house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow.

I tend to think of gardens (and the "we" above) as having metaphoric significance (as well as literal). (Was also thinking of "Secret Garden" tunes.) It's a large chorus number, which means you could reduce to two-part (esp. since it's initially tenor/soprano).

Is there anything you could use from the Copland "Tender Land"? (Granted, an opera...)
