1. The Greatest Show
Hugh Jackman
[Intro: Ensemble]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
[Verse 1: P.T. Barnum]
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (woah)
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor
(woah)
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
[Pre-Chorus: P.T. Barnum]

2. Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall it's holding I'll
let you now, so tell me do you wanna go?
[Chorus: Ensemble & P.T. Barnum]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
[Verse 2: P.T. Barnum]
(Woah) colossal we come these renegades in the ring
(Woah) where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king

3. [Pre-Chorus: Ensemble & P.T. Barnum]
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
It's blinding outside and I think that you know
Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go
[Chorus: Ensemble & P.T. Barnum]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicating you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
[Post-Chorus: P.T. Barnum & Lettie Lutz]
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you

4. This is where you wanna be (This is where you wanna be)
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be
This is where you wanna be
[Chorus: Ensemble, Phillip Carlyle, Lettie Lutz & P.T. Barnum]
When it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
This is the greatest show
When it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down

5. And the walls can't stop us now
I'm watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
[Bridge: Phillip Carlyle & Anne Wheeler]
'Cause everything you want is right in front of you
And you see the impossible is coming true
And the walls can't stop us (now) now, yeah
[Outro]
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
(This is the greatest show)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show!

A Million Dreams

6. Ziv Zaifman
[Verse 1: Young P.T.]
I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
[Pre-Chorus: Young P.T.]
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
[Chorus: Young P.T.]
'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be

7. A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
[Verse 2: Young P.T.]
There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day
[Pre-Chorus: Young P.T.]
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design
[Chorus: P.T. Barnum]
Every night I lie in bed

8. The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
[Bridge: Charity Barnum, with P.T. Barnum]
However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
[Chorus: P.T. Barnum, Charity Barnum, together]
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake

9. A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
COME ALIVE LYRICS
[Verse 1: P.T. Barnum]
You stumble through your days
Got your head hung low
Your skies' a shade of grey
Like a zombie in a maze
You're asleep inside
But you can shake away
[Pre-Chorus: P.T. Barnum]
'Cause you're just a dead man walking
Thinking that's your only option

10. But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color's blinding
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind
You'll never be the same
[Pre-Chorus: P.T. Barnum]
Come alive, come alive
Go and ride your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified
[Chorus: P.T. Barnum]
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again

11. To the world that you were living in
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
So, come alive!
[Verse 2: P.T. Barnum]
I see it in your eyes
You believe that lie
That you need to hide your face
Afraid to step outside
So you lock the door
But don't you stay that way
[Lettie Lutz]
No more living in those shadows
You and me we know how that goes
[Lord of Leeds]
'Cause once you see it, oh you'll never, never be the same
[Both]
We'll be the light that's shining

12. Bottle up and keep on trying
[All]
You can prove there's more to you
[P.T. Barnum]
You cannot be afraid
[Pre-Chorus: Ensemble]
Come alive, come alive
Go and ride your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified
[Chorus: Ensemble]
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be

13. 'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't be go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
So, come alive!
[Ensemble]
Come one!
Come all!
Come in!
Come on!
[Anne Wheeler]
To anyone who's bursting with a dream
[Ensemble]
Come one!
Come all!
You hear
The call

14. [P.T. Barnum]
To anyone who's searching for a way to break free
[Ensemble]
Break free!
Break free!
[Chorus: Ensemble and P.T. Barnum]
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't be go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
(Hey!)
[Chorus: Ensemble and P.T. Barnum]
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open

15. And we know we can't be go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
[Outro: Ensemble and P.T. Barnum]
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
So come alive! (Come alive!)
THEOTHER SIDE
[Verse 1: P.T. Barnum]
Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy

16. You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see
[Chorus: P.T. Barnum]
Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play
'Cause I got what you need
So come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side
[Verse 2: Phillip Carlyle]
Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do

17. You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you
[Chorus: Phillip Carlyle]
Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side
[Verse 3:]
[P.T. Barnum]
Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays
[Phillip Carlyle]

18. If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns
[P.T. Barnum]
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll
Wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
[Bridge:]
[Phillip Carlyle]
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
[P.T. Barnum]
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen

19. [Phillip Carlyle]
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine
[P.T. Barnum]
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime
[Phillip Carlyle]
Fifteen
[P.T. Barnum]
I'd do eight
[Phillip Carlyle]
Twelve
[P.T. Barnum]
Maybe nine
[Phillip Carlyle]
Ten

20. [Chorus: P.T. Barnum and Phillip Carlyle]
Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
To the other side
So if you do like I do
So if you do like me
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
So if you do like I do
(To the other side)
So if you do like me
(We're going to the other side)
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side
THIS IS ME
[Verse 1]
I am not a stranger to the dark

21. Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
[Chorus]
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

22. [Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become
[Pre-Chorus]
Won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
[Chorus]

23. When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
[Bridge]
And I know that I deserve your love
There's nothing I'm not worthy of

24. When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
[Chorus]
Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching,
marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, this is me
[Verse 1: Charity Barnum]
Some people long for a life that is simple and planned
Tied with a ribbon

25. Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land
To follow what's written
But I'd follow you to the great unknown
Off to a world we call our own
[Chorus: Charity Barnum]
Hand in my hand
And we promised to never let go
We're walking the tightrope
High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walking the tightrope
Never sure, never know how far we could fall
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking the tightrope
[Post-Chorus: Charity Barnum]
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
With you

26. [Verse 2: Charity Barnum]
Mountains and valleys, and all that will come in between
Desert and ocean
You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream
Always in motion
So I risk it all just to be with you
And I risk it all for this life we choose
