THE GREATEST SHOWMAN LYRIC STARTERS
“ ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for. “ “ and all that is real is left behind. “ “ the runaways are running the night. “ “ and the sun can’t stop us now. “ “ this is the greatest show. “ “ it’s everything you ever want. “ “ it’s everything you ever need. “ “ this is where you wanna be. “ “ and it’s here right in front of you. “ “ i’m watching it come true, it’s taking over you. “ “ i close my eyes and i can see the world that’s waiting up for me. “ “ and it feels like home. “ “ they can say it all sounds crazy. “ “ we can live in a world that we design. “ “ a million dreams are keeping me awake. “ “ i think of what the world could be. “ “ there’s a house that we can build. “ “ however big, however small, let me be part of it all. “ “ share your dreams with me. “ “ you may be right, you may be wrong. “ “ ‘cause you know you’re just a dead man walking. “ “ go and light your sky, let it burn so bright. “ “ because you’re dreaming with your eyes wide open. “ “ and you know you can’t go back again to the world that you were living in. “ “ but don’t you stay that way. “ “ you can prove there’s more to you. “ “ right here, right now, i put the offer out. “ “ i don’t want to chase you. “ “ so trade the typical for something colorful. “ “ don’t you want to get away from the same old part you’ve gotta play? “ “ it’ll take you to the other side. “ “ suddenly you’re free to fly. “ “ i hate to tell you but it just won’t happen. “ “ i enjoy the life you say i’m trapped in. “ “ but i live among the swells and we don’t pick up peanut shells. “ “ so go and do like you do, i’m good to do like me. “ “ if i were mixed up with you i’d be the talk of the town. “ “ but you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little. “ “ why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime? “ “ all the stars we steal from the night sky will never be enough. “ “ these hands could hold the world but it will never be enough. “ “ i’m not a stranger to the dark. “ “ i’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars. “ “ no one will love you as you are. “ “ for we are glorious. “ “ i am brave, i am bruised, i am who i’m meant to be. “ “ i’m not scared to be seen. “ “ i make no apologies. “ “ i won’t let the shames begin. “ “ look out cause here i come. “ “ i’m marching on to the beat i drum. “ “ this is me. “ “ you know i want you; it’s not a secret i try to hide. “ “ what if we rewrite the stars? “ “ nothing could keep us apart. “ “ no one can say what we get to be. “ “ you think i don’t want to run to you. “ “ you’re going to wake up and see that it’s hopeless after all. “ “ no one can rewrite the stars. “ “ how can you say you’ll be mine? “ “ it’s not up to you, it’s not up to me when everyone tells us what we can be. “ “ all i want is to fly with you. “ “ all i want is to fall with you. “ “ nothing can keep us apart because you were the one i was meant to find. “ “ but i can’t have you. “ “ a man learns who is there for him when the glitter fades and the walls won’t hold. “ “ from now on these eyes won’t be blinded by the lights. “ “ from now on what’s waited for tomorrow starts tonight. “ “ i drank champagne with kings and queens. “ “ for years and years i chased their cheers. “ “ but when i stop and see you there i remember who this was all for. “ “ and we will come back home. “
