Feel free to add context, change pronouns, names, jobs, and anything else you need to change to make these work for you! Have fun! ^-^
ā Ladies and gents, this is the moment youāve waited for. ā
ā Buried in your bones, thereās an ache you canāt ignore. ā
ā Taking your breath, stealing your mind. ā
ā All that was real is left behind. ā
ā Donāt fight it, itās coming for you. ā
ā Itās only this moment, donāt care what comes after. ā
ā Canāt you see it getting closer? ā
ā Just surrender ācause you feel the feeling taking over. ā
ā Itās fire, itās freedom. ā
ā The runaways are running the night! ā
ā Oh, this is the greatest show! ā
ā Itās blinding, outshining anything that you know. ā
ā Itās everything you ever want. Itās everything you ever need. ā
ā This is where you wanna be. ā
ā You see the impossible is coming true. ā
ā The walls canāt stop us now! ā
ā I close my eyes and I can see a world thatās waiting up for me. āĀ
ā They can say Iāve lost my mind. ā
ā We can live in a world that we design. ā
ā Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. ā
ā A million dreams are keeping me awake. ā
ā I think of what the world could be: a vision of the one I see. ā
ā The special things I compile, each one there to make you smile on a rainy day. ā
ā They can say weāve lost our minds. ā
ā Run away to a world that we design. ā
ā However big, however small, let me be part of it all. ā
ā Share your dreams with me. ā
ā You may be right, you may be wrong, but say that youāll bring me along. ā
ā A million dreams is all itās gonna take. ā
ā A million dreams for the world weāre gonna make. ā
ā You stumble through your days, got your head hung low. ā
ā Youāre asleep inside. ā
ā Youāre just a dead man walking thinking thatās your only option. ā
ā Take the world and redefine it. ā
ā Come alive, go and light your light. ā
ā Youāre dreaming with your eyes wide open. ā
ā I see it in your eyes. You believe that lie. ā
ā Afraid to step outside, so you lock the door. ā
ā No more living in the shadows, you and me, we know how that goes. ā
ā Once you see it, oh, youāll never be the same. ā
ā You can prove thereās more to you. ā
ā I donāt want to chase you down. ā
ā You run with me, and I can cut you free. ā
ā Donāt you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play? ā
ā I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride. ā
ā Stay in the cage, or youāll finally take the key. ā
ā I quite enjoy the life you say Iām trapped in. ā
ā Youāre onto something, really itās something. ā
ā I live among the swells and we donāt pick up peanut shells, Iāll have to leave that up to you. ā
ā I donāt need to see the other side. ā
ā If I were mixed up with you, Iād be the talk of the town. ā
ā Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns. ā
ā But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little. ā
ā Just let me give you the freedom to dream. ā
ā Weāre going to the other side! āĀ
ā Iām trying to hold my breath. ā
ā Let it stay this way. ā
ā Canāt let this moment end. ā
ā You set off a dream in me. ā
ā Can you hear it echoing? ā
ā Take my hand. Will you share this with me? ā
ā Darling without you, all the shine of a thousand spotlights, all the stars we steal from the night sky will never be enough. ā
ā Towers of gold are still too little. ā
ā These hands could hold the world but itāll never be enough. āĀ
ā I am not a stranger to the dark. ā
ā Iāve learned to be ashamed of all my scars. ā
ā No oneāll love you as you are. ā
ā I wonāt let them break me down to dust. ā
ā I know that thereās a place for us, for we are glorious. ā
ā Iām gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out. ā
ā I am brave, I am bruised, I am who Iām meant to be. ā
ā Iām marching on to the beat I drum. ā
ā I make no apologies. ā
ā Fire away cause today, I wonāt let the shame sink in. ā
ā We are bursting through the barricades and reaching for the sun. ā
ā Iām not scared to be seen. ā
ā I know that I deserve your love. ā
ā Thereās nothing Iām not worthy of. āĀ
ā You know I want you. ā
ā Itās not a secret I try to hide. ā
ā Fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me. ā
ā Youāre here in my heart, so who can stop me if I decide that youāre my destiny? ā
ā What if we rewrite the stars? ā
ā Youād be the one I was meant to find. ā
ā No one can say what we get to be. ā
ā Maybe the world could be ours tonight. ā
ā You think I donāt want to run to you? ā
ā There are doors that we canāt walk through. ā
ā Weāre able to be just you and me within these walls. ā
ā When we go outside, youāre gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all. ā
ā No one can rewrite the stars. ā
ā How can you say youāll be mine? Everything keeps us apart. ā
ā Iām not the one you were meant to find. ā
ā All I want is to fly with you, all I want is to fall with you. ā
ā Just give me all of you. ā
ā Weāre bound to break and my hands are tied. ā
ā Some people long for a life that is simple and planned. ā
ā Some people wonāt sail the sea cause theyāre safer on land. ā
ā Iād follow you to the great unknown. ā
ā Off to a world we call our own. ā
ā Hand in my hand, we promised to never let go. ā
ā Weāre walking a tightrope. ā
ā High in the sky, we can see the whole world down below. ā
ā Never sure, never know how far we could fall. ā
ā Itās all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view. ā
ā You pull me in and together weāre lost in a dream. ā
ā So I risk it all just to be with you. ā
ā I risk it all for this life we choose. āĀ
ā A man learns who is there for him when the glitter fades and the walls wonāt hold. ā
ā If all was lost, thereās more I gained 'cause it led me back to you. ā
ā From now on, these eyes will not be blinded by the lights. ā
ā Whatās waited till tomorrow starts tonight. ā
ā Let this promise in me start, like an anthem in my heart. ā
ā I drank champagne with kings and queens. ā
ā The politicians praised my name. ā
ā Those are someone elseās dreams, the pitfalls of the man I became. ā
ā For years and years, I chased their cheers. ā
ā When I stop and see you here, I remember who all this was for. ā
ā We will come back home again. āĀ
