â Ladies and gents, this is the moment youâve waited for. â
â Buried in your bones, thereâs an ache you canât ignore. â
â Taking your breath, stealing your mind. â
â All that was real is left behind. â
â Donât fight it, itâs coming for you. â
â Itâs only this moment, donât care what comes after. â
â Canât you see it getting closer? â
â Just surrender âcause you feel the feeling taking over. â
â Itâs fire, itâs freedom. â
â The runaways are running the night! â
â Oh, this is the greatest show! â
â Itâs blinding, outshining anything that you know. â
â Itâs everything you ever want. Itâs everything you ever need. â
â This is where you wanna be. â
â You see the impossible is coming true. â
â The walls canât stop us now! â
â I close my eyes and I can see a world thatâs waiting up for me. âÂ
â They can say Iâve lost my mind. â
â We can live in a world that we design. â
â Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. â
â A million dreams are keeping me awake. â
â I think of what the world could be: a vision of the one I see. â
â The special things I compile, each one there to make you smile on a rainy day. â
â They can say weâve lost our minds. â
â Run away to a world that we design. â
â However big, however small, let me be part of it all. â
â Share your dreams with me. â
â You may be right, you may be wrong, but say that youâll bring me along. â
â A million dreams is all itâs gonna take. â
â A million dreams for the world weâre gonna make. â
â You stumble through your days, got your head hung low. â
â Youâre asleep inside. â
â Youâre just a dead man walking thinking thatâs your only option. â
â Take the world and redefine it. â
â Come alive, go and light your light. â
â Youâre dreaming with your eyes wide open. â
â I see it in your eyes. You believe that lie. â
â Afraid to step outside, so you lock the door. â
â No more living in the shadows, you and me, we know how that goes. â
â Once you see it, oh, youâll never be the same. â
â You can prove thereâs more to you. â
â I donât want to chase you down. â
â You run with me, and I can cut you free. â
â Donât you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play? â
â I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride. â
â Stay in the cage, or youâll finally take the key. â
â I quite enjoy the life you say Iâm trapped in. â
â Youâre onto something, really itâs something. â
â I live among the swells and we donât pick up peanut shells, Iâll have to leave that up to you. â
â I donât need to see the other side. â
â If I were mixed up with you, Iâd be the talk of the town. â
â Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns. â
â But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little. â
â Just let me give you the freedom to dream. â
â Weâre going to the other side! âÂ
â Iâm trying to hold my breath. â
â Let it stay this way. â
â Canât let this moment end. â
â You set off a dream in me. â
â Can you hear it echoing? â
â Take my hand. Will you share this with me? â
â Darling without you, all the shine of a thousand spotlights, all the stars we steal from the night sky will never be enough. â
â Towers of gold are still too little. â
â These hands could hold the world but itâll never be enough. âÂ
â I am not a stranger to the dark. â
â Iâve learned to be ashamed of all my scars. â
â No oneâll love you as you are. â
â I wonât let them break me down to dust. â
â I know that thereâs a place for us, for we are glorious. â
â Iâm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out. â
â I am brave, I am bruised, I am who Iâm meant to be. â
â Iâm marching on to the beat I drum. â
â I make no apologies. â
â Fire away cause today, I wonât let the shame sink in. â
â We are bursting through the barricades and reaching for the sun. â
â Iâm not scared to be seen. â
â I know that I deserve your love. â
â Thereâs nothing Iâm not worthy of. âÂ
â You know I want you. â
â Itâs not a secret I try to hide. â
â Fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me. â
â Youâre here in my heart, so who can stop me if I decide that youâre my destiny? â
â What if we rewrite the stars? â
â Youâd be the one I was meant to find. â
â No one can say what we get to be. â
â Maybe the world could be ours tonight. â
â You think I donât want to run to you? â
â There are doors that we canât walk through. â
â Weâre able to be just you and me within these walls. â
â When we go outside, youâre gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all. â
â No one can rewrite the stars. â
â How can you say youâll be mine? Everything keeps us apart. â
â Iâm not the one you were meant to find. â
â All I want is to fly with you, all I want is to fall with you. â
â Just give me all of you. â
â Weâre bound to break and my hands are tied. â
â Some people long for a life that is simple and planned. â
â Some people wonât sail the sea cause theyâre safer on land. â
â Iâd follow you to the great unknown. â
â Off to a world we call our own. â
â Hand in my hand, we promised to never let go. â
â Weâre walking a tightrope. â
â High in the sky, we can see the whole world down below. â
â Never sure, never know how far we could fall. â
â Itâs all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view. â
â You pull me in and together weâre lost in a dream. â
â So I risk it all just to be with you. â
â I risk it all for this life we choose. âÂ
â A man learns who is there for him when the glitter fades and the walls wonât hold. â
â If all was lost, thereâs more I gained 'cause it led me back to you. â
â From now on, these eyes will not be blinded by the lights. â
â Whatâs waited till tomorrow starts tonight. â
â Let this promise in me start, like an anthem in my heart. â
â I drank champagne with kings and queens. â
â The politicians praised my name. â
â Those are someone elseâs dreams, the pitfalls of the man I became. â
â For years and years, I chased their cheers. â
â When I stop and see you here, I remember who all this was for. â
â We will come back home again. âÂ
