Verse 1

Is it so simple to want what I think,

Paint pictures and murals and beautiful things.

I'll take this whole place and I’ll turn it around,

Paint windows and doorways and rooms full of sound.

I'll make people smile, that are so hard to please?

Why is it adults (people*) forget who they were? (are*)

There must have been dreams, there was more than despair,

What's that special something that makes people care?

 

Verse 2

I’ll paint you a staircase you can climb to the top.

I’ll paint you another we don’t need to stop.

Climb up forever let dreams take you far.

Never stop dreaming you'll find who you are

So when someone tells you that they have a dream

Listen and you'll understand what they mean.

No matter how many times your dreams are smashed,

Look to the future; don’t dwell on the past.

Remember, Nothing’s too distant

Nothing’s too far.

I know who I am.

Do you know who you are?


* these are lyrics that Julie sings in Song Reprise in Scene 19

Verse 1

The world is full of good advice.

If you talk real posh and dress real nice.

People like that, they just ain’t real,

They don’t know just how I feel.

They really don't know where it's at

But I don’t wanna be, don't wanna be like that!

Verse 2

I want to strike right out and be a real cool guy.

Stay out late and get real high.

Nobody’s gonna tell me what to do

I ain’t gonna be nobody’s fool.

I’d rather be a cat than a rat.

And I don’t wanna be, don't wanna be like that!

Verse 1

Sometimes you find it hard to know where you've gone wrong.

When you don't even know the road you're on.

You know you’ve been used but you just can’t stop.

So you keep on going 'til the day you drop.

Well there's one thing I'm sure of and that's a fact.

I don't wanna be, don't wanna be like that!

Verse 2

I’ve seen a lot of things that make you wind up dead.

There’s got to be a way to keep living instead.

There’s only one person who can make that choice,

That person is you, so let me hear your voice.

Well there’s one thing I’m sure about and that’s a fact,

I don’t wanna be, don't wanna be like that! (repeat…)
