Role of a Lifetime

Lyrics

[Intro: Lucas Grabeel, Kate Reinders] Those kids, they do believe in you And that's worth so much more Than a line about a piece of fruit Or a Tony Award I was going for an EGOT Let's not get ahead of ourselves [Verse 1: Lucas Grabeel, Kate Reinders] Think of this as the role of a lifetime It's the part you were born to play Keeping their dreams in your sight line Now it's their turn to take the stage Think of this as a role to remember, like Elphaba or Éponine I'm more of a Glinda It's all of the things you could ever bring to a scene You know what I mean? [Chorus: Lucas Grabeel] So give it your all, right from the start You gotta play this from the heart You're their teacher, you're the lead And you're off book now Give it a go, show 'em the way We're all in this together at the end of the day I should know, after all, I played Ryan (Ryan) [Verse 2: Kate Reinders] Is this the role of a lifetime? The part I was born to play? Showing them how to smile in the bright lights Now it's their turn to take the stage This could be a role to remember, like Elsa or Eva Perón I'll teach them to channel their feelings, I'll share what I know And live for the show [Chorus: Kate Reinders, Kate Reinders & Lucas Grabeel] I'll give it my all, right from the start I gotta play this from the heart I'm their teacher, I'm the lead And I'm off book now Give it a go, show 'em the way You gotta let the music play This is now and the rest is history [Bridge: Kate Reinders, Lucas Grabeel] I felt small, I couldn't breathe When they took that apple from me But you're right here now And you never know when you'll get a cameo [Chorus: Kate Reinders, Lucas Grabeel, Both] So give it your all, right from the start You gotta let them play their parts Tonight, all the roles will be played by the drama students of East High Give it a go, show 'em the way You gotta let the music play This is now and we're making history [Outro: Lucas Grabeel, Kate Reinders] History (History)
