Come Alive
(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

You stumble through your days [P.T. Barnum:]

Got your head hung low You cannot be afraid
Your sky’s a shade of grey
Like a zombie in a maze [Ensemble::]
You’re asleep inside Come alive, come alive
But you can shake awake Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
‘Cause you’re just a dead man walkin’ Reachin’ up to the sky
Thinkin’ that’s your only option And it’s open wide
But you can flip the switch You’re electrified
And brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color’s blinding And the world becomes a fantasy
Take a world and redefine it And you’re more than you could ever be
Leave behind your narrow mind ‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide open
You’ll never be the same And we know we can’t go back again
To the world that we were living in
Come alive, come alive ‘Cause we’re dreaming with our eyes wide open
Go and light your light So, come alive!
Let it burn so bright
Reachin’ up to the sky [Ensemble:]
And it’s open wide Come one!
You’re electrified Come all!
Come in!
And the world becomes a fantasy Come on!
And you’re more than you could ever be [Anne Wheeler:]
‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide open To anyone who’s bursting with a dream
And you know you can’t go back again
To the world that you were living in Come one!
‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide open Come all!
So, come alive You hear the call!
[P.T. Barnum:]
I see it in your eyes To anyone who’s searching for a way to break free
You believe that lie (Break free!
That you need to hide your face Break free!)
Afraid to step outside
So you lock the door [Ensemble and P.T. Barnum:]
But don’t you stay that way And the world becomes a fantasy
And you’re more than you could ever be
[Lettie Lutz:] ‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide open
No more living in those shadows And we know we can’t go back again
You and me, we know how that goes To the world that we were living in
‘Cause we’re dreaming with our eyes wide open
[Lord of Leeds:]
‘Cause once you see it, And the world becomes a fantasy
Oh you’ll never, never be the same And you’re more than you could ever be
[Both::] ‘Cause you’re dreaming with your eyes wide open
A little bit of lightnin’ strikin’ And we know we can’t go back again
Bottled up to keep on shinin’ To the world that we were living in
[All::] ‘Cause we’re dreaming with our eyes wide open
You can prove there’s more to you
‘Cause we’re dreaming with our eyes wide open
So, come alive! (Come alive!)
A Million Dreams
(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

[Ziv Zaifman:] [Michelle Williams & Hugh Jackman:]

I close my eyes and I can see Every night I lie in bed
A world that’s waiting up for me The brightest colors fill my head
That I call my own A million dreams are keeping me awake
Through the dark, through the door A million dreams, a million dreams
Through where no one’s been before I think of what the world could be
But it feels like home A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it’s gonna take
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make
They can say, they can say I’ve lost my mind
I don’t care, I don’t care, so call me crazy For the world we’re gonna make
We can live in a world that we design

‘Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it’s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

There’s a house we can build

Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we’ve lost our minds
I don’t care, I don’t care if they call us crazy
Run away to a world that we design

[Hugh Jackman:]
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it’s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

[Michelle Williams:]
However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you’ll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
The Other Side
(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

[Person 1:] [Person 1:]

Right here, right now But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
I put the offer out Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it’ll
I don’t wanna chase you down Wake you up and cure your aching
I know you see it Take your walls and start ‘em breaking
You run with me Now that’s a deal that seems worth taking
And I can cut you free But I guess I’ll leave that up to you
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colorful [Person 2:]
And if it’s crazy, live a little crazy Well, it’s intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
Or you can risk it all and see
[Person 1:]
Don’t you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta Fair enough, you’d want a piece of all the action
play? I’d give you seven, we could shake and make it happen
‘Cause I got what you need
So come with me and take the ride [Person 2:]
It’ll take you to the other side I wasn’t born this morning, eighteen would be just fine
‘Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me [Person 1:]
Stay in the cage, or you finally take the key Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime
Oh, damn! Suddenly you’re free to fly
It’ll take you to the other side [Person 2:]
Fifteen
[Person 2:]
Okay, my friend, you wanna cut me in [Person 1:]
Well, I hate to tell you, but it just won’t happen I’d do eight
So thanks, but no
I think I’m good to go [Person 2c:]
‘Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I’m trapped in Twelve
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
You’re on to something, really it’s something [person 1:]
But I live among the swells, and we don’t pick up peanut shells Maybe nine
I’ll have to leave that up to you
[Person 2:]
Don’t you know that I’m OK with this uptown part I get to Ten!
play?
‘Cause I got what I need and I don’t wanna take the ride Don’t you wanna get away to a whole new part you’re gonna
I don’t need to see the other side play
So go and do like you do ‘Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the
I’m good to do like me ride
Ain’t in a cage, so I don’t need to take the key To the other side
Oh, damn! Can’t you see I’m doing fine? So if you do like I do
I don’t need to see the other side So if you do like me
Forget the cage, ‘cause we know how to make the key
[Person 1:] Oh, damn! Suddenly we’re free to fly
Now is this really how you’d like to spend your days? We’re going to the other side
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays? So if you do like I do
(To the other side)
[Person 2:] So if you do like me
If I were mixed up with you, I’d be the talk of the town (We’re going to the other side)
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns ‘Cause if we do we’re going to the other side
We’re going to the other side
Never Enough
(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

I’m tryin’ to hold my breath For me

Let it stay this way Never, never
Can’t let this moment end Never, never
You set off a dream in me Never, for me
Gettin’ louder now For me
Can you hear it echoing? Never enough
Take my hand Never, never
Will you share this with me? Never enough
‘Cause darling without you Never, never
Never enough
All the shine of a thousand spotlights For me
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little For me
These hands could hold the world but it’ll For me
Never be enough
Never be enough For me

For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me

All the shine of a thousand spotlights

All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it’ll
Never be enough
Never be enough
Rewrite The Stars
(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

[Zac Efron:] [Zendaya:]

You know I want you It feels impossible
It’s not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me [Zac Efron:]
So don’t keep saying our hands are tied It’s not impossible
You claim it’s not in the cards
But fate is pulling you miles away [Zendaya:]
And out of reach from me Is it impossible?
But you’re here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide [Both:]
That you’re my destiny? Say that it’s possible

What if we rewrite the stars? [Zac Efron & Zendaya:]

Say you were made to be mine How do we rewrite the stars?
Nothing could keep us apart Say you were made to be mine?
You’d be the one I was meant to find Nothing can keep us apart
It’s up to you Cause you are the one I was meant to find
And it’s up to me It’s up to you
No one can say what we get to be And it’s up to me
So why don’t we rewrite the stars? No one can say what we get to be
Maybe the world could be ours Why don’t we rewrite the stars?
Tonight Changing the world to be ours

[Zendaya:] [Zendaya:]
You think it’s easy You know I want you
You think I don’t wanna run to you It’s not a secret I try to hide
But there are mountains But I can’t have you
And there are doors that we can’t walk through We’re bound to break and
I know you’re wondering why My hands are tied
Because we’re able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You’re gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars

How can you say you’ll be mine
Everything keeps us apart
And I’m not the one you were meant to find
It’s not up to you
It’s not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

[Zac Efron & Zendaya:]

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
This Is Me
(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

I’m not a stranger to the dark I make no apologies, this is me

Hide away, they say
‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts (Whenever the words wanna cut me down
I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars I’ll send the flood to drown them out)
Run away, they say I’m gonna send the flood, gonna drown them out
No one will love you as you are
This is me
But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

Another round of bullets hits my skin

Well, fire away ‘cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become

Won’t let them break me down to dust

I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

...This is me

And I know that I deserve your love

There’s nothing I’m not worthy of
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This 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
From Now On
(from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack)

I drank champagne with kings and queens [P.T. Barnum:]

The politicians praised my name Yes!
But those were someone else’s dreams
The pitfalls of the man I became [Oddities:]
For years and years Home again!
I chased their cheers And we will come back home
A crazy speed of always needing more From now on!
But when I stop And we will come back home
And see you here From now on!
I remember who all this was for Home again!

And from now on [Oddities:]

These eyes will not be blinded by the lights From now on
From now on [P.T. Barnum:]
What’s waited ‘til tomorrow starts tonight These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
It starts tonight [Oddities:]
And let this promise in me start From now on
Like an anthem in my heart [P.T. Barnum:]
From now on What’s waited ‘til tomorrow starts tonight
From now on It starts tonight
From now on
Let this promise in me start
[Oddities:] Like an anthem in my heart
And we will come back home [Oddities:]
And we will come back home From now on
Home again! [P.T. Barnum:]
And we will come back home From now on
And we will come back home From now on
Home again! From now on
And we will come back home
And we will come back home [Oddities:]
Home again! And we will come back home
And we will come back home
[P.T. Barnum:] Home again!
From now on! And we will come back home
And we will come back home
[Oddities:] Home again!
And we will come back home And we will come back home
And we will come back home And we will come back home
Home again! Home again!
And we will come back home
From now on! From now on
And we will come back home From now on
From now on! Home again!
Home again!
And we will come back home From now on
From now on! From now on
And we will come back home Home again!
From now on!
