I Wanna Be Great

Lyrics

[ANNA] Hold my hand and walk with me Hold my hand and have mercy [CLOWN MC] The soul lingers Long after you pass That's why we feel like we're surrounded by our past Worlds split between the living and the dead Our souls are not delivered yet We stand en masse The air drenched in a bath of memories A constant reminder of our deathly legacy Here Listen to the rest Of how one found peace before his death [THEO] All my life they told me "Boy, when you get older…" [THEO, ANNA, MICHAEL, HAILEY DAISY, CLOWN MC, COMPANY] "You can have whatever you like!" [THEO] All because of my genes And because I had means Thought that she would be my wife But I never took a risk And I'm scared to admit that [THEO, ANNA, MICHAEL, HAILEY DAISY, CLOWN MC, COMPANY] This is how I lived my life [THEO] Till I put myself out there Spoke without fear [THEO, ANNA, MICHAEL, HAILEY DAISY, CLOWN MC, COMPANY] Now I feel alive tonight! [THEO] When I first saw her I smiled as she walked on by [WILLOW] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la [THEO] I thought to myself "I'd love to be her guy" [WILLOW] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la [THEO] "That's Willow," they told me, "a princess in disguise!" [WILLOW] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la [THEO] They said we'd be married and boy, I almost died! [WILLOW] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la [CLOWN MC] When she spoke to him… [WILLOW] How are you today? [CLOWN MC] His only response was… [THEO] La-la-la [CLOWN MC] When she spoke to him… [WILLOW] [chuckling] Do you have anything to say? [THEO] La-la-la-la-la She was so beautiful! [CLOWN MC] He admired her Pined for her Kept his heart enshrined for her Dreamed that one day He'd be good enough to stand beside her [COMPANY] I wanna be great for one instant Let them say I didn't miss it And I pray Every minute [THEO] Let me just have one moment to shine All my life they told me "Boy, when you get older…" [COMPANY] "You can have whatever you like!" [THEO] All because of my genes And because I had means Thought that she would be my wife Now I'm scared to admit That I'm gonna take a risk And maybe I can save her life If I put myself out there Speak without fear Yeah, I feel alive tonight! [THEO, ANNA, MICHAEL, HAILEY DAISY, CLOWN MC, COMPANY] I wanna be great for one instant Let them say I didn't miss it And I pray And I pray Every minute Let me just have one moment to shine I wanna be great for one instant Let them say I didn't miss it And I pray And I pray Every minute [THEO] Let me just have one moment to shine [ANNA] Hold my hand and walk with me Hold my hand and have mercy [ANNA, CLOWN MC, MICHAEL & HAILEY DAISY (THEO)] The seconds of (I wanna be great) Your life (For one instant) Just slow down (Let them say) Slow down, slow (I didn't miss it) Down, slow down The seconds of Your life (And I pray) Just slow down Slow down, slow Down (Every minute) The seconds of your life Just slow down (Let me just have) Slow down (One moment to) Slow down (Shine)
