Come Alive(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

You stumble through your daysGot your head hung lowYour sky’s a shade of greyLike a zombie in a mazeYou’re asleep insideBut you can shake awake

‘Cause you’re just a dead man walkin’Thinkin’ that’s your only optionBut you can flip the switchAnd brighten up your darkest daySun is up and the color’s blindingTake a world and redefine itLeave behind your narrow mindYou’ll never be the same

Come alive, come aliveGo and light your lightLet it burn so brightReachin’ up to the skyAnd it’s open wideYou’re electrified

And the world becomes a fantasyAnd you’re more than you could ever be‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide openAnd you know you can’t go back againTo the world that you were living in‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide openSo, come alive

I see it in your eyesYou believe that lieThat you need to hide your faceAfraid to step outsideSo you lock the doorBut don’t you stay that way

[Lettie Lutz:]No more living in those shadowsYou and me, we know how that goes

[Lord of Leeds:]‘Cause once you see it,Oh you’ll never, never be the same[Both::]A little bit of lightnin’ strikin’Bottled up to keep on shinin’[All::]You can prove there’s more to you

[P.T. Barnum:]You cannot be afraid

[Ensemble::]Come alive, come aliveGo and light your lightLet it burn so brightReachin’ up to the skyAnd it’s open wideYou’re electrified

And the world becomes a fantasyAnd you’re more than you could ever be‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide openAnd we know we can’t go back againTo the world that we were living in‘Cause we’re dreaming with our eyes wide openSo, come alive!

A Million Dreams(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

[Ziv Zaifman:]I close my eyes and I can seeA world that’s waiting up for meThat I call my ownThrough the dark, through the doorThrough where no one’s been beforeBut it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazyThey can say, they can say I’ve lost my mindI don’t care, I don’t care, so call me crazyWe can live in a world that we design

‘Cause every night I lie in bedThe brightest colors fill my headA million dreams are keeping me awakeI think of what the world could beA vision of the one I seeA million dreams is all it’s gonna takeA million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

There’s a house we can buildEvery room inside is filledWith things from far awayThe special things I compileEach one there to make you smileOn a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazyThey can say, they can say we’ve lost our mindsI don’t care, I don’t care if they call us crazyRun away to a world that we design

[Hugh Jackman:]Every night I lie in bedThe brightest colors fill my headA million dreams are keeping me awakeI think of what the world could beA vision of the one I seeA million dreams is all it’s gonna takeA million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

[Michelle Williams:]However big, however smallLet me be part of it allShare your dreams with meYou may be right, you may be wrongBut say that you’ll bring me alongTo the world you seeTo the world I close my eyes to seeI close my eyes to see

[Michelle Williams & Hugh Jackman:]Every night I lie in bedThe brightest colors fill my headA million dreams are keeping me awakeA million dreams, a million dreamsI think of what the world could beA vision of the one I seeA million dreams is all it’s gonna takeA million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

For the world we’re gonna make

The Other Side(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

[Person 1:]Right here, right nowI put the offer outI don’t wanna chase you downI know you see itYou run with meAnd I can cut you freeOut of the drudgery and walls you keep inSo trade that typical for something colorfulAnd if it’s crazy, live a little crazyYou can play it sensible, a king of conventionalOr you can risk it all and see

Don’t you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play?‘Cause I got what you needSo come with me and take the rideIt’ll take you to the other side‘Cause you can do like you doOr you can do like meStay in the cage, or you finally take the keyOh, damn! Suddenly you’re free to flyIt’ll take you to the other side

[Person 2:]Okay, my friend, you wanna cut me inWell, I hate to tell you, but it just won’t happenSo thanks, but noI think I’m good to go‘Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I’m trapped inNow I admire you, and that whole show you doYou’re on to something, really it’s somethingBut I live among the swells, and we don’t pick up peanut shellsI’ll have to leave that up to you

Don’t you know that I’m OK with this uptown part I get to play?‘Cause I got what I need and I don’t wanna take the rideI don’t need to see the other sideSo go and do like you doI’m good to do like meAin’t in a cage, so I don’t need to take the keyOh, damn! Can’t you see I’m doing fine?I don’t need to see the other side

[Person 1:]Now is this really how you’d like to spend your days?Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays?

[Person 2:]If I were mixed up with you, I’d be the talk of the townDisgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

[Person 1:]But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a littleJust let me give you the freedom to dream and it’llWake you up and cure your achingTake your walls and start ‘em breakingNow that’s a deal that seems worth takingBut I guess I’ll leave that up to you

[Person 2:]Well, it’s intriguing, but to go would cost me greatlySo what percentage of the show would I be taking?

[Person 1:]Fair enough, you’d want a piece of all the actionI’d give you seven, we could shake and make it happen

[Person 2:]I wasn’t born this morning, eighteen would be just fine

[Person 1:]Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime

[Person 2:]Fifteen

[Person 1:]I’d do eight

[Person 2c:]Twelve

[person 1:]Maybe nine

[Person 2:]Ten!

Don’t you wanna get away to a whole new part you’re gonna play‘Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the rideTo the other sideSo if you do like I doSo if you do like meForget the cage, ‘cause we know how to make the keyOh, damn! Suddenly we’re free to flyWe’re going to the other sideSo if you do like I do(To the other side)So if you do like me(We’re going to the other side)‘Cause if we do we’re going to the other sideWe’re going to the other side

Rewrite The Stars(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

[Zac Efron:]You know I want youIt’s not a secret I try to hideI know you want meSo don’t keep saying our hands are tiedYou claim it’s not in the cardsBut fate is pulling you miles awayAnd out of reach from meBut you’re here in my heartSo who can stop me if I decideThat you’re my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?Say you were made to be mineNothing could keep us apartYou’d be the one I was meant to findIt’s up to youAnd it’s up to meNo one can say what we get to beSo why don’t we rewrite the stars?Maybe the world could be oursTonight

[Zendaya:]You think it’s easyYou think I don’t wanna run to youBut there are mountainsAnd there are doors that we can’t walk throughI know you’re wondering whyBecause we’re able to beJust you and meWithin these wallsBut when we go outsideYou’re gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the starsHow can you say you’ll be mineEverything keeps us apartAnd I’m not the one you were meant to findIt’s not up to youIt’s not up to meWhen everyone tells us what we can beHow can we rewrite the stars?Say that the world can be oursTonight

[Zac Efron & Zendaya:]All I want is to fly with youAll I want is to fall with youSo just give me all of you

[Zendaya:]It feels impossible

[Zac Efron:]It’s not impossible

[Zendaya:]Is it impossible?

[Both:]Say that it’s possible

[Zac Efron & Zendaya:]How do we rewrite the stars?Say you were made to be mine?Nothing can keep us apartCause you are the one I was meant to findIt’s up to youAnd it’s up to meNo one can say what we get to beWhy don’t we rewrite the stars?Changing the world to be ours

[Zendaya:]You know I want youIt’s not a secret I try to hideBut I can’t have youWe’re bound to break andMy hands are tied

This Is Me(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

I’m not a stranger to the darkHide away, they say‘Cause we don’t want your broken partsI’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scarsRun away, they sayNo one will love you as you are

But I won’t let them break me down to dustI know that there’s a place for usFor we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me downI’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outI am brave, I am bruisedI am who I’m meant to be, this is meLook out ‘cause here I comeAnd I’m marching on to the beat I drumI’m not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is me

Another round of bullets hits my skinWell, fire away ‘cause today, I won’t let the shame sink inWe are bursting through the barricadesAnd reaching for the sun (we are warriors)Yeah, that’s what we’ve become

Won’t let them break me down to dustI know that there’s a place for usFor we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me downGonna send a flood, gonna drown them outI am brave, I am bruisedI am who I’m meant to be, this is meLook out ‘cause here I comeAnd I’m marching on to the beat I drumI’m not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is me

...This is me

And I know that I deserve your loveThere’s nothing I’m not worthy ofWhen the sharpest words wanna cut me downI’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outThis is brave, this is bruisedThis is who I’m meant to be, this is me

Look out ‘cause here I come (look out ‘cause here I come)And I’m marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)I’m not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

(Whenever the words wanna cut me downI’ll send the flood to drown them out)I’m gonna send the flood, gonna drown them out

This is me

From Now On(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

I drank champagne with kings and queensThe politicians praised my nameBut those were someone else’s dreamsThe pitfalls of the man I becameFor years and yearsI chased their cheersA crazy speed of always needing moreBut when I stopAnd see you hereI remember who all this was for
