[P.T. BARNUM]
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for

[ENSEMBLE]
Woah

[P.T. BARNUM]
Been searchin' in the dark, your sweat soakin' through the floor

[ENSEMBLE]
Woah

[P.T. BARNUM]
And buried in your bones, there's an ache that you can't ignore
Takin' your breath, stealin' your mind
And all that was real is left behind

Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it gettin' closer?
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feelin' takin' over

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh

[P.T. BARNUM]
It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh

[P.T. BARNUM]
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh

[P.T. BARNUM]
There's somethin' breakin' at the brick of every wall that's holdin'

[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
All that you know (Oh), so tell me, do you wanna go?
[P.T. BARNUM]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, this is the greatest show

[P.T. BARNUM]
We light it up, we won't come down

[ENSEMBLE]
And the sun can't stop us now

[P.T. BARNUM]
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, this is the greatest show

[ENSEMBLE]
Woah

[P.T. BARNUM]
Colossal we come, these renegades in the ring
[ENSEMBLE]
Woah

[P.T. BARNUM]
Where the lost get found and we crown 'em the circus kings

[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya (Don't fight it, it's comin')
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after (It's only this moment)
It's blindin', outshinin' anything that you know (Shinin', shinin')
Just surrender 'cause you're comin' and you

[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
Wanna go

[YOUNG P.T. BARNUM]
I close my eyes and I can see
A world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
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 keepin' 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
Oh, 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
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

[P.T. BARNUM]
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keepin' 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
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

[CHARITY BARNUM]
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

[CHARITY BARNUM & P.T. BARNUM]
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
[P.T. BARNUM]
'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head

[CHARITY BARNUM]
A million dreams are keepin' me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams

[CHARITY BARNUM & P.T. BARNUM]
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

For the world we're gonna make
				

[CAROLINE BARNUM]
Every night, I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keepin' me awake

[CAROLINE BARNUM & HELEN BARNUM]
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take

[P.T. BARNUM]
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
				

[P.T. BARNUM]
You stumble through your days
Got your head hung low, your sky's a shade of gray
Like a zombie in a maze
You're asleep inside, but you can shake awake

'Cause you're just a dead man walkin'
Thinkin' that's your only option
But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color's blindin'
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind, you'll never be the same

Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light, let it burn so bright
Reachin' up to the sky
And it's open wide, you're electrified
And the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again
To the world that you were livin' in
'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open
So come alive

I see it in your eyes
You believe that lie that you need to hide your face
Afraid to step outside
So you lock the door, but don't you stay that way

[LETTIE LUTZ]
No more livin' in those shadows
You and me, we know how that goes

[LORD OF LEEDS]
'Cause once you see it, oh, you'll never, never be the same

[ENSEMBLE]
Little bit of lightnin' strikin'
Bottled up to keep on shinin'
You can prove there's more to you

[P.T. BARNUM]
You cannot be afraid

[ENSEMBLE]
To come alive, come alive
Go and light your light, let it burn so bright
Reachin' up to the sky
And it's open wide, you're electrified
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were livin' in
'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open
So come alive
Come one, come all, come in, come on

[ANNE WHEELER]
To anyone who's burstin' with a dream

[ENSEMBLE]
Come one, come all, you hear the call

[P.T. BARNUM]
To anyone who's searchin' for a way to break free

[ENSEMBLE]
Break free, break free

[ALL]
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were livin' in
'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open (Hey)
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open (Yeah, yeah, oh)
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were livin' in
'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open
'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open
So come alive (Come alive, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
				

[P.T. BARNUM]
Right here, right now, I put the offer out
I don't wanna chase you down but I know you see it
You run with me and I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for somethin' colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or 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 need so come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do or you can do like me
Stay in the cage or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well, I hate to tell you but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no, I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you and that whole show you do
You're onto somethin', really, it's somethin'
But I live among the swells and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you

Don't you know that I'm okay
With this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I got what I need and I don't wanna take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do, I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn, can't you see I'm doin' fine?
I don't need to see the other side

[P.T. BARNUM]
Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

[P.T. BARNUM]
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up and cure your achin'
Take your walls and start 'em breakin'
Now that's a deal that seems worth takin'
But I guess I'll leave that up to you

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
Well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
[P.T. BARNUM]
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine

[P.T. BARNUM]
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
Fifteen

[P.T. BARNUM]
I'd do eight

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
Twelve

[P.T. BARNUM]
Maybe nine

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
Ten

[P.T. BARNUM & PHILLIP CARLYLE]
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 ride
To the other side
[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
So we can do like I do

[P.T. BARNUM]
So if you do like me

[P.T. BARNUM & PHILLIP CARLYLE]
Forget the cage 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn, suddenly we're free to fly
We're goin' to the other side

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
So if you do like I do

[P.T. BARNUM]
To the other side

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
So if you do like me

[P.T. BARNUM]
We're goin' to the other side

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
'Cause if we do, we're goin'

[P.T. BARNUM & PHILLIP CARLYLE]
To the other side
We're goin' to the other side
				

[Verse]
I'm trying to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?

[Pre-Chorus]
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
'Cause, darling, without you

[Chorus]
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 for me

[Post-Chorus]
Never, never
Never, never
Never
For me, for me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me, for me, for me

[Chorus]
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 for me

[Post-Chorus]
Never, never
Never, never
Never
For me, for me
Never enough, never, never
Never enough, never, never
Never enough
For me, for me, for me

[Outro]
For me
				

[Verse 1]
I am not a stranger to the dark
"Hide away," they say
"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
"Run away," they say
"No one'll love you as you are"

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious

[Chorus]
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em 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 marchin' on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today
I won't let the shame sink in
We are burstin' through the barricades
And reachin' for the sun (We are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become (Yeah, that's what we've become)

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious

[Chorus]
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em 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 marchin' on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
(This is me)
[Bridge]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
There's nothin' I'm not worthy of
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em 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 marchin' on to the beat I drum (Marchin' on, marchin', marchin' on; to the beat I drum)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

[Outro]
(Whenever the words wanna cut me down)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I'll send the flood to drown them out)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out, ah
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
This is me
				

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide that you're my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours tonight

[ANNE WHEELER]
You think it's easy?
You think I don't want to run to you?
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wonderin' why
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

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you

[ANNE WHEELER]
It feels impossible

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
It's not impossible

[ANNE WHEELER]
Is it impossible?

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]
Say that it's possible
How do we rewrite the stars?

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER, PHILLIP CARLYLE]
Say you were made to be mine

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
Why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changin' the world to be ours

[ANNE WHEELER]
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied
				

[CHARITY BARNUM]
Some people long for a life that is simple and planned
Tied with a ribbon
Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land
To follow what's written
But I'd follow you to the great unknown
Off to a world we call our own

Hand in my hand
And we promised to never let go
We're walkin' a tightrope
High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walkin' a tightrope
Never sure, never know how far we could fall
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtakin' view
Walkin' a tightrope

With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you

Mountains and valleys and all that will come in between
Desert and ocean
You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream
Always in motion
So I risk it all just to be with you
And I risk it all for this life we choose

Hand in my hand
And you promised to never let go
We're walkin' a tightrope
High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walkin' a tightrope
Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?
Well, it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtakin' view
Walkin' a tightrope

With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh
With you
				

[JENNY LIND]
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
				

[Verse 1: Hugh Jackman]
I saw the sun begin to dim
And felt that winter wind blow cold
A man learns who is there for him
When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold
'Cause from that rubble, what remains
Can only be what's true
If all was lost, there's more I gained
'Cause it led me back to you

[Chorus: Hugh Jackman]
From now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight, tonight
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on

[Verse 2: Hugh Jackman]
I drank champagne with kings and queens
The politicians praised my name
But those were someone else's dreams
The pitfalls of the man I became
For years and years, I chased their cheers
A crazy speed of always needin' more
But when I stop and see you here
I remember who all this was for

[Chorus]
And from now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight, it starts tonight
And let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on
From now on

[Refrain: Ensemble, Hugh Jackman]
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again (From now on)
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again
And we will come back home (From now on)
And we will come back home (From now on)
Home again
And we will come back home (From now on)
And we will come back home (From now on, yes)
Home again
And we will come back home (From now on)
And we will come back home (From now on)
Home again
[Chorus: Hugh Jackman, Ensemble]
From now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight, it starts tonight
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on
From now on

[Refrain: Ensemble]
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again

[Outro: Ensemble]
From now on
From now on
Home again, oh, ooh
From now on
From now on
Home again
