Sarah Crewe vents her frustration about her caretaker Miss Minchin.
View Lyrics
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud I need to be as free As I know how to be I want to live out loud
Every day – sleep, walk, lock, step No one dares to stray Though they may – straightlaced, shamefaced Long to break away They’re as lonely as can be Is that what they want from me?
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want to live life under a cloud Give me some air and space And sun on my face I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud Nobody wants me here But I won’t be disappear I want to live out loud
I want to run down an open shoreline I want to join in a moonlit dance I want to swing from the branches of a tree I wanna bathe in a hidden inlet And let the breeze come and dry my hair I want the life they took away from me
If they makes me headstrong – fine! That’s a fault I’m glad is mine.
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want my spirit broken and bowed Why do I have to hide what I’m feeling inside I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd I only want what I’m not allowed Give me the wings of a bird I’ll be seen and be heard
I want to sing when my heart is full I want to sing and I want to fly I want to soar the sky without a cloud I want to live out loud.

Queenie tells Mr. Black that she has become used to Burr's brutish behavior.
View Lyrics
I see his pain I hear his cry He pulls me to the edge But I don't ask him why I understand And I obey Maybe I like it this way.
I like the way he laughs His strange and silent stare I like the way he moves The way he's always there The way he calls my name The way he takes control I like the way this man has stirred my soul:
"When I first met Burrs, he was grand. You understand? But I was scared and awfully lonely. Hungry. And hopeful. How could I know?"
Maybe tomorrow it comes crashing down Maybe next week I'll find another clown Maybe I'll try to go a different way But look who's sitting here today.
If I could change If I could grow I'd ask for nothing more And through that door I'd go But if I'm through Why do I stay?
Maybe he wants me Maybe he needs me Maybe he loves me Maybe I like it this way.

And Sally said: “I see what I wanna see. I know what I wanna know. I don’t need you To tell me what’s true If you don’t like it, Daddy, You can blow, blow, blow, blow, blow!”
Saturday night at the same place. They roll up the bamboo rug. Everyone was doin’ the limbo, Except Sally and her Podunk Plug. Seems he took a shine to some chicken Shakin’ her tom-tom-tom. Sally saw that and—guacamole— She exploded like the hydrogen bomb.
She cried, “Hey, hey watcha doin’ watcha doin’? What’s she got that I lack? That chicken is thin And meaner than sin And uglier than Bamboo Jack!”
The Husband/The Band: (sung) And he said!
The Wife: (sung) “I see what I wanna see I know what I wanna know. I don’t need you To tell me what’s true If you don’t like it, baby, You can blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow!

I`ll be there on the baseball field Though I`m well concealed I`ll be out there cheering I`ll be there in the books you read It is guaranteed I`m not disappearing fast Any time No not any time
And I am there each morning I am there each fall I am present without warning And I`m watching it all Yes I`m watching it all Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And I am there in music I am there in sky I don`t why this thing did happen But this much is clear Any time or anywhere I am there
Any time you pray Any time you fight Any time you`ve gained a pound Any time it`s day Any time it`s night Any time the earth moves I`ll be around
I`ll be there in the maple trees I`m a summer breeze On a perfect evening I`ll be there when you celebrate When the world seems great I`ll be waiting by your side Any time Yes! Any time
And I am there each morning I am there each fall I present without warning And I`m watching it all Yes I`m watching it all Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And I am there in flowers I am there in snow I don`t know why this thing happened But this much is clear Any time you cry Any time you sing For anything I`ll be there Each morning I`ll be there each fall I don`t why this thing happened But this much is clear
Be aware I am there I am there I am there I am there

Marcy tells Austin that in spite of his many flaws, she still loves him.
View Lyrics
Something, so that I couldn`t live without you And even though you`re just a little bit pretentious Even though you`re more traditional than my dad Even though you drove me crazy from hello You touch a part of me I didn`t even know I had
And so, I need to say I want you anyway I want you anyway Even though this might not be the perfect way to tell you But, perfection never was what I did best Two months ago, I never would have guessed That I`d compare to `you know who` But now I know I belong with you
And even though I think your way of life is different Even though there`s not a single thing we share Even though you`re not like anyone I know You take me to a place I didn`t even know was there
And so, I need to say I choose you anyway I choose you anyway Even though the night when I first met you You were freakish Now look at us, we both have come so far You`re not different I`m not different But, it`s all together different `Cause I love you in spite of who you are
And even though you`re so much paler than my dream man Even though you`re such a dork and I don`t feel the way I should Even though I should stop, well here I go I love you in a way I didn`t even know I could
And so, I need to say I love you anyway I love you anyway Even though

There was a time My feet were so solidly planted You'd sail away While I turned my back to the sea I was content, A princess asleep and enchanted If I had dreams Then I let you dream them for me Back in the days When everything seemed so much clearer Women in white Who knew what their lives held in store Where are they now, Those women who stared from the mirror? We can never go back to before.
There are people out there Unafraid of revealing That they might have a feeling Or they might have been wrong There are people out there Unafraid to feel sorrow, unafraid of tomorrow, unafraid to be weak... unafraid to be strong!
There was a time When you were the person in motion I was your wife, It never occurred to want more You were my sky My moon and my stars and my ocean We can never go back to before We can never go back to before

View Lyrics
HOLLY I know. Don’t you hate her?
JULIA Hate her? She’s so happy!
(Sung) She turns around And she meets his gaze The lights are dim, There’s a smoky haze They share a smile And a secret wave It’s a moment built to save They start to move Across the floor The room is frozen, Wanting more The happy couple on display With nothing standing In their way It’s so romantic I could die Right here and now It’s gonna be that way for us I know somehow Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true All you’ll need is me And all I’ll need is you
(Spoken) HOLLY Julia, take that veil off!
JULIA Okay!
(Sung) They stop and pose For a photograph He jokes around Just to make her laugh The room is full, But they’re all alone They have a language All their own And I’m so jealous I could cry And yet I know It won’t be long Before you say We’re good to go Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true All you’ll need is me And all I’ll need is you I know not every marriage Lasts when things go bad I’ve seen the warning signs I call them “Mom” and “Dad” But soon you’ll take my hand And pledge your love to me Till then I’ll just get married vicariously
JULIA & WOMEN Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be
JULIA Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true
WOMEN Is coming true
JULIA All you’ll need is me
WOMEN All you’ll need is me
JULIA & WOMEN And all I’ll need is you!

In my dreams such beautiful lovers have found me Storybook lovers surround me Nothing is real, but I’m flying, sighing Where, where, where is my storybook ending? Why does my golden pretending Leave me with nothing to hold but my dreams? Oh, is it only in dreams that we find our ideal love? Are there lovers with real love? If you know how to feel love, show me now Ah, but my prince, if you can’t be as sweet as you seem I’d rather dream
Come and wake me! Come be the love I can hold now Storybook love leaves me cold now Show me the way to stop dreaming There is only one perfect storybook ending That is the end of pretending That is the moment I say, love me now!
Et sur mon manege, l’amour toujours est chantant De mes reves, c’est le commencement Et j’espere une fin heureuse Mais la fin de l’histoire ne vient pas tres doucement Pour l’histoire, il faut faire semblant Certes je n’embrasse que mes reves Seuls mes reves!

Please don’t make me love you Please don’t make me need you I’ve no room in my life For something like this
Please don’t take my mornings Please don’t steal my summers I know they will vanish The moment we kiss
I grow weak when we talk I’m confused when we touch I should just walk away But that’s asking too much
Please don’t make me do this Please don’t make me want this All my drams were taken Until i met you
You’re the one I think of Soon as I awaken Funny how the heart tells The mind what to do
I’m not sure I can go through all The joy and the pain Much better now To let these dreams take flight!
Please don’t make me love you Please don’t make me need you Simplify my life By just setting me free
Promise me you’ll do this Only you can do this Please don’t make me love you Unless you love me

View Lyrics
I truly believe That i am a modern day Carmen In spite of the fact I do not habla espanol
That girl was exactly like me We share this philosophy Ole, I say
I'm not the type who's ready For datin' someone steady I'm everybody's girl
On Sunday night it's Danny On Monday, maybe Nanny I'm everybody's girl
There's a point to my behavior Which is: Smart girls always share their riches
So, if your heart succumbs Don't let it You're certain to regret it All others, come and get it I'm everybody's girl.
I could never be a cowhand's girl
La la la la la la
And you wanna know why?
ALL: Why?
SHELBY: I just can't keep my calves together.
I'm everybody's girl Some old greek called Aristotle said it: If you got it, why not spread it? So don't go rattling any sabres Exerting any labors Just share me with the neighbors I'm everybody's girl
In case your passion rages, (I'm in the yellow pages) I'm... Girl.
You won't be disappointed I'm also double-jointed I'm everybody's girl Though it leaves a lot of fellas Cursin' I'm a person Needs disbursin'
And so to reaffirm my status It's absolutely gratis To use my apparatus I'm everybody's girl
Men and me are like pianos. When they Get upright, i feel grand!
Everybody's girl!

Paula, an ex-dancer whose boyfriend has just left her, refuses to be taken advantage of again.
View Lyrics
I've been caught in a trap But it's not gonna happen again
No more Racing toward a heartache Seeking disappointment Chasing after dreams I've trusted more than enough to last me till I die Love's as unreliable as it seems
No more Living for another Craving his approval Giving to extremes I'm through collecting broken promises I've heard them all before I know more now
In my experience with men I've spent a lifetime proving You know a man is lying when you see his lips start moving My women's intuition ought to be recalled Or overhauled
Most men have backbones like a strand of overcooked Linguini You say commitment and they instantly become Houdini When I look back upon the men I've loved I'm thoroughly Appalled
I'm gonna build a wall around my heart A towering fortress made of solid rock Electric fences all around my heart The next guy who hits on me Is in for a shock
I know to let go now And so I solemnly promise
No more!
Seeking disappointments Chasing after dreams With just the two of us now We're better off by far You and I are one of the greatest teams
No more Living for a lover Craving his approval Giving to extremes They say that history repeats itself I'll build my past goodbye No more No more I know more now!

JERRY Why can't you just tell her?
HAROLD She adores me. How do you break the heart of someone you love?
VICKI I really love that man He likes me dressed to the nines I saw two words and then ta-da There's me completely in Prada And I've got the boots that go with the belt That goes with the bag That goes with my wonderful life with Harold You gotta love that man
So he tells me you boys are rollers at the mill. That's wonderful. Of course, I don't actually know what rollers do, but hey, I hardly know what Harold does over there. It's all steel to me.
HAROLD Look at her. She's a piece of Dresden china. She'd break into a million pieces!
VICKI God, I love that man But lately he's working too hard I keep on telling him how we Should take a few weeks in Maui And we'll feel the breeze and sample the poi And go see Don Ho and I'll say "Oh boy, how I love you, Harold" I hit the jackpot with Harry
He's a gem - he's a beaut He looks cute in a suit and he loves me to boot I'm telling you You gotta love that man
Love that man I love that man I love that man!
MEN Love that man You gotta love that man You really gotta love That man

Claire explains to Jason her romantic past with a man who died in the 9/11 attacks.
View Lyrics
'Because I'll be here At the corner of Bleeker and Mercer tomorrow at 7. If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here, And in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John." He waved and then he was gone.
Needless to say I went back there to meet him Mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight. He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight. The next week we went to this terrible play. And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day. And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?'
'Because I'll be here Right beside you as long as you want me to be. There's no question. There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life. This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one." And we had just begun.
We got hitched in September, our favorite month, With a rock band that played in this old synagogue. And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog. Our first anniversary came in a flash And we promised to take the day off. He had to stop into his office that morning, And so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know. When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke. So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread To the voicemail he left with the last words he said.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff. You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight. Well today something happened that spooked me alright. I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky, And I thought of that day and I started to cry. When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying "Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'
'Because I'll be here Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater. Even if you go out on my birthday This year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by. You don't have to cry.'
'Because I'll be here When you start going back to the places we went to together. When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile. When you meet some handsome and patient and true. When he says that he wants to be married to you. When you call him one night and he meets you downtown. When you finally answer him yes." Yes. Jason, I will marry you. I will give you my heart. It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start. Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here.

Cal, a magician's assistant, realizes that her career and love life are not working out, so she considers reluctantly returning to West End Avenue.
View Lyrics
West End Avenue. Babies in carts and poodles barking, West End Avenue. Planning the day around the parking.
You tell yourself, "I will be free." West End Avenue, You won't get me.
All of your life you watch the shrinks and lawyers on parade, Watch the brokers in their worsted and the ad men in their suede. While upstairs a soprano tries to sing the waltz from "La Boheme." And you watch 'em and you listen and you judge and you condemn: You're not like them.
West End Avenue. Delis and laundromats and gay bars, West End Avenue. Only a block away from Zabars.
But you were meant to really fly. West End Avenue, Good bye, good bye.
And then suddenly you're out there on your own. But you forgot that free could also mean alone. And when all that freedom gets too much for you, Ooh, what do you do?
You pack up your boots and blue jeans and your records and your pride, And you tell yourself you ventured and you tell yourself you tried. And it's back to the surly doormen and the canopies you go. And the buses seem to chuckle and the towers seem to crow: "We told you so."
West End Avenue, Find me a golden cage to perch in. West End Avenue, Open your arms to one more urchin Who's crawlin' back to mama's den. West End Avenue, You win again!

My baby plays a line that subtle Yet it makes the strongest case An argument with no rebuttal Got me back on base.
When his fingers touch my strings I tingle to my teeth I seem to sing the wildest things When he is underneath.
The only worm that's in this eden The only snag in all this lace Is where i stand ain't easy reading When he's back on base.
(scat)
At times he seems a bit elusive Way off in his private place I guess he can't be mine exclusive When he's back on base.
He's got eyes for something tall So maybe i should go Then once more my defences fall When he gets down below oh oh oh oh oh oh
So what if he don't feel like talkin' I'll just let him play his ace And let his fingers do the walkin' 'Til i'm back on...
Always back on... So happy back on base. (scat) We make sweet music when we're both back on base

A woman who is bittersweet with her life surrenders to her circumstances without complaining.
View Lyrics
I didn't ask him for a penny I'd had my liberated training
So off he went with his hair of bronze To find a life like Khalil Gibran's I got my rest from the drugs he did He got his quest, I got the kid
And oh, I'm not complaining
So I set off to be a writer, A modern mother on her own I wrote up happenings at galleries Turned down jobs with salaries Stayed freelance and alone
I fought the battles of the sixties Which you recall were rather draining When men were thick, I hit the fray Became a prick Got equal pay I faced down chauvinistic slobs I won the fights Improved the jobs
And oh, I'm not complaining
My husband found himself his ashram Lost forty pounds and went through hell Then one day he came back from limbo Found himself some bimbo And moved to New Rochelle
I raised my son and I had lovers My choices sometimes take explaining I'd meet some jock My friends would scoff He'd stay a while I'd drive him off I kept my space Preserved my turf Six months I'd send him back to surf
And oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I was not complaining
So now my son's half way through college I pay tuition like a fine I'm still this feisty freelance writer Resume well honed At a well toned forty-nine
I find that getting work is harder Each job I want takes more campaigning And those sweet young things who hire me now Those MBAs making fifty thou Who smile and ask what I have done When they got their jobs from the fights I won
Ah, they should all stay home and have babies
But I'm not complaining
And in the evening at my window As I watch Jersey growing dim I feel a troubling emotion Summed up in this notion I wish I'd stayed with him
Lord knows each day with him was madness As I have spent my life maintaining
But more and more I recall the joy My golden dreamer My lost boy Our life was life in the twilight zone But no worse than a life alone
And oh, Well I chose my way And I'm not complaining

I sit here at my desk And no one knows Not twenty minutes ago I was not wearing clothes I was in someone's arms, in someone's bed Oh what the thought of it does to my head
If it's true a bird makes music When her heart takes wing This bird is singing Miss byrd is singing I'm singing I'm in love But I'm not saying a thing
Uh uh Oooh oooh
Down in apartment a The super's aptly named Last week I went to the basement More hours than i claimed He says i'm super too He calls me hot I show those basement apartments a lot
Back at work i'm crisp and fresh Reliable Miss Byrd Seals are dancing in my flesh But I don't say a word
I'm showing penthouse c As i begin I still feel his hands sliding over my skin My nipples start to throb Inside my bra That's when I start to go la-dah-di-dah
If you've never felt the lift A little lunch can bring This bird is singing Miss Byrd is singing I'm singing I'm on fire But i'm not saying a thing
No no no no oh oh oh...
This is a floor thru five I call it more a six The broken kitchenette tiles they will fix
Lots of girls who first seems shy Have secrets I have found If you think I'm special I suggest you look around
That little office temp Who seems so dumb How come a trip to mcdonald's Is making her hum?
And Mrs. Smith in sales Who's turning grey Why is she smiling that curious way?
If it's true the drabbest songbirds Come alive in spring The birds are singing Miss Byrd is singing I'm singing I'm in love But I'm not saying a thing
No no no no no no no no
Mum's the word
La la la la Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard...oo-wee
La la la la... Shh.....

Context & Lyrics
A woman discovers that her lover has been cheating on her, so she walks out.
View Lyrics
You must be mistaken I'm sure that you are! There's more than one car with stickers on. And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants. And I'd know if he hadn't gone
Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.
If I'm not mistaken, it started last year.
I'm not very clear how it began I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes As only a woman can.
No, I didn't dig deep. (No, I didn't dig deep.) I did not want to know. (I did not want to know.) Well, you don't interfere when you're scared of the things you might hear. When he's back, you think I will end it right there and then? Well, my fair weather friend: you're wrong again!
Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.

Rose, an actress, begs for her lover Alex not to leave her.
View Lyrics
Anything but lonely, Anything but only me. Quiet years in too much space: That's the thing that's hard to face, And ...
You have a right to go, But you should also know That I won't be alone for long. Long days with nothing said Are not what lie ahead -- I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong.
Anything but lonely, Anything but passing time. Lonely's what I'll never be, While there's still some life in me, And ...
I'm still young, don't forget, It isn't over yet -- So many hearts for me to thrill. If you're not here to say How good I look each day, I'll have to find someone who will.
Anything but lonely, Anything but empty rooms. There's so much in life to share -- What's the sense when no one else is there ...?
What's the sense when no one else is there ...?

The Mad Hatter raves on about how she wants to rule Wonderland.
View Lyrics
The old Hatter is gone But the Hat must go on Worn by me, is that understood?
So shut up and tow the line, While I redefine How this all will be mine.
I have a dream, It's got a full head of steam!
What is true what is not Can both change in a shot And people, me, I couldn't care less.
'Cause in two seconds flat Livin' under my hat Is the strategy for success.
I will look the other way When you want to play Something more than croquet. You catch my drift? My little personal gift!
I'm the Mad Hatter Come and follow me, this is it. The Mad Hatter, All you gotta do is submit.
And if you don't my friend, Well then in the end, There'll be nothing left to defend. Know what I mean? When you are facing the Queen.
Uppercase, double-spaced Everyone gets a taste, And a brand new leather hat band.
But to participate, Let me reiterate You must first put me in command.
I'm the wonder, understand, Under Wonderland, Put the reigns in my hand. I'll do the rest, As soon as you've acquiesced!
I'm the Mad Hatter Offering a little bit more. The Mad Hatter, Giving you what you're looking for.
I am your best worst case For the choice you face, And the fastest rat in the race! It's me or the queen And her serene guillotine.
There is nothing I won't do, There is nothing too taboo, I will lie, I will cheat, I will track you down And then hit delete tout suite!
So sweetie let me repeat... I'm the Mad Hatter, Lend allegiance while you still can, The Mad Hatter More than just a Hat with a plan.
I am where you belong, The right kind of wrong, And I'll still be going real strong!
The bottom line Is everything will be fine. As all the planets align, It's gonna be so divine. When all of this will be MINE!!

A woman sings about setting her own rules and choosing her own path.
View Lyrics
Now, I'm walking alone as the wind circles all around. Waiting for the slightest move or the first unexpected sound. This time will I raise my shield when the hunters spot their prey? This time will I stay in the field or will I run away?
From who I am, And what I want, And what I can find, And who I will be.
Now, I'm moving along as the twilight begins to spread. I take in this moment as the clouds gather overhead. This time will I see what's true when the lightening streaks through the grey? This time will it blind my view or will it light the way?
To who I am, And what I want, And what I can find, And who I will be.
And all these questions in me, are fading away as I suddenly see; I can embrace everything behind me. And find the place where I finally find me.
Now, I run with you as a new sun begins to rise. I can see forever through these endless big blue skies.
Now is the only time. Here is the only place. This is all I want to be.
This time I can see the view. This time the sun will shine through. This time. This time. This time.

You don't buy the first pair of shoes from the clerk, You don't buy perfume till you spray it. You don't buy a clock till you're sure it will work, You don't buy a piano till you play it. A new vacuum cleaner may be a sensation, But ladies, always get a free trial demonstration.
So while there's a chance, I'm sampling, I'm taking romance In the smorgasbord way. From the last organ note, Love is all table d'hote,
So you must choose the best to be found. That's why I keep shopping, Leisurely shopping, Not buying, Just shopping around.

We like the fashion don’ts and not the dos We read the comics and I throw away the news Cityfolks laugh at our K-mart clothes But we got our own style and we got out own nose
12 step programs make me yawn But I could 2 step all night long Pink flamingos on my lawn But, don’t call us trailer trash, we live in a mobile home
You can always keep me down on the farm Cause I’ve always like a man with a half tan arm A pickup truck with over-sized tires make me weak in the knees And sets my heart on fire
Cheese fries, wise guys, demolition derbies Stir fries, nice guys do nothing fer me Never cut out gourmet recipes, We prefer the cuisine at the tasty freeze
We like cars with lots of chrome We can make art out of Styrofoam We ain’t got no cellular phone But, don’t call us trailer trash, We live in a mobile home

View Lyrics
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud I need to be as free As I know how to be I want to live out loud
Every day – sleep, walk, lock, step No one dares to stray Though they may – straightlaced, shamefaced Long to break away They’re as lonely as can be Is that what they want from me?
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want to live life under a cloud Give me some air and space And sun on my face I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud Nobody wants me here But I won’t be disappear I want to live out loud
I want to run down an open shoreline I want to join in a moonlit dance I want to swing from the branches of a tree I wanna bathe in a hidden inlet And let the breeze come and dry my hair I want the life they took away from me
If they makes me headstrong – fine! That’s a fault I’m glad is mine.
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want my spirit broken and bowed Why do I have to hide what I’m feeling inside I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd I only want what I’m not allowed Give me the wings of a bird I’ll be seen and be heard
I want to sing when my heart is full I want to sing and I want to fly I want to soar the sky without a cloud I want to live out loud.
