Program Notes

"A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman

I close my eyes and I can see
A 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

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

'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
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

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

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

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
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

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

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
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

For the world we're gonna make

"My Days" from The Notebook

​Where am I?
Where am I going?
Is it somewhere that I want to go?
And when I get there
Is that where happy is?
Or is it somewhere I already know?

Sometimes I feel
Like I cry without a noise
Sometimes I feel
Like somebody chose my choice

I have to run away
I have to sit and stay
I wanna live a life
Where I'm allowed to say
That I'm proud of the way that I spent
My days

I can feel
Something growing
It is small but it's shifting the ground
When I was younger, I could hear it
But it's back
It's my sound

Sometimes I feel
Like I lost my only voice
But then I realized
Only I can choose my choice

I have to run away
I have to sit and stay
I wanna live a life
Where I'm allowed to say
That I'm proud of the way that I spent
My days

These days
All we ever really get are
Days to dream
And days to lose
I just need to choose my time

I have to run away
I have to stay
I'm gonna live a life
Where I am proud to say
That I followed my joy
I followed my heart
I lived this one wild life, I ripped it apart
I pushed through the corners with no apologies
And finally I can say
I know the way
I'll say that I love the way that I spent
My days

I’m a Star

​Someone give me a chance
And just watch me break through,
I deserve to be seen,
This dream feels way overdue.

I was born to perform
More than anyone knows.
I have passion and guts,
I want this and it shows.

I have fought, I have cried.
I've been broke, I've been bruised.
Yet at the end of the day
This life is what I still choose.

I am song, I am dance,
All I need is a break.
This is all that I am,
Someone give me the chance.

I am more than the average no one
One chance--
Just to prove to you I am someone.

Let me sing for you now
More than just 16 bars.
If you give me a chance
You'll discover a star.

I will risk everything
If that's what it takes.
I can be what you want,
I know all that's at stake.

All the strength and the will,
All the vigor and fight,
When I stand on that stage
Watch my spirit take flight.

There's a dream I anticipated
Just you wait--
'Cause you know I'll be celebrated.

I just need you to see
All the hope and the drive.
This is all that I know,
It's what keeps me alive.

I know everything I need to know,
I know every song.
Just give me a stage and strike the lights,
I will prove I belong.

I have dreamt wide awake,
I have dreamt with my heart.
All I need is a break,
So that the real dream can start.

'Cause I've worked way too hard
To be brushed off just yet.
Time to prove to the world
I'm someone not to forget.

I can't let all my dreams go nowhere.
I won't stop--
Till the day that I finally get there.

​To see my name bright in lights
Up there on the marquee.
All I need from you now
Is to wake up and see
I'm a star,
A star.
