Leo confesses to Maggie.

lyrics

Leo:
HAVE YOU EVER STOOD OUTSIDE YOURSELF
AND BEGGED SOMEONE TO LET YOU IN?
PRESSED YOUR HANDS UP AGAINST THE GLASS
AND FELT THE WARMTH INSIDE YOU’D BEEN DENIED
AND THEN SEEN HOW IF THE GLASS STARTS CRACKING
THE HOUSE COLLAPSES
AND YOU’RE JUST ANOTHER SHATTERED CASUALTY

HAVE YOU EVER GRIT YOUR TEETH TO BEAR THE SCREAMS INSIDE YOUR HEAD?
SCARED IF ANYBODY GOT TOO CLOSE
THEY’D HEAR THE SCREAMS, AND SO INSTEAD I STAYED SHY
WHILE FREEZING ON THE OUTSIDE
PRETENDING I WOULD BE FINE TO FAKE A LIFE UNTIL I DIED

BUT NOW I’M STANDING IN THE SUN
THE WATER’S WARM AND CLEAR, THE SKY IS BLUE
AND I’M SEEN BY EVERYONE
CHOKING BACK MY FEAR TO SPEAK MY TRUTH

HAVE YOU EVER WOKEN UP TO SEE THE WORLD IN COLOR FOR THE FIRST TIME
FINALLY MY HEAD AND HEART AND SKIN BEGINNING TO AGREE
ALLOWING ME OUT
I DON’T NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW
THIS ISN’T WHO I AM NOW
IT’S WHO I’VE ALWAYS REALLY BEEN

Maggie:
AND YOU’RE STANDING IN THE SUN

Leo:
STANDING IN THE SUN

Maggie:
THE WATER’S WARM AND CLEAR

Both:
THE SKY IS BLUE

Leo:
AND I’M SEEN BY EVERYONE

Maggie:
SEEN BY EVERYONE

Leo:
CHOKING BACK MY FEAR TO SPEAK MY TRUTH

THE SUN LIGHTS UP A BRAND NEW START
IT MELTS AWAY ALL THE FEAR IN MY HEART

ALL THE FEAR IN MY HEART
ALL THE FEAR IN MY HEART
ALL THE FEAR IN MY HEART
ALL THE FEAR IN MY HEART
ALL THE FEAR IN MY HEART
AND NOW

Ensemble:
I’M STANDING IN THE SUN
THE WATER’S WARM AND CLEAR, THE SKY IS BLUE
AND I’M SEEN BY EVERYONE
I’M CHOKING BACK MY FEAR TO LIVE MY TRUTH

STANDING IN THE SUN
(STANDING IN THE SUN)
AND I’M LOVING TO LIVE MY TRUTH

I’M SEEN BY EVERYONE
(SEEN BY EVERYONE)
AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT I CAN’T DO
STANDING IN THE SUN

The Sisters:
YES, YOU WILL FIND YOU
FIND YOU

Ensemble:
STANDING IN THE SUN
NO THERE’S NOTHING THAT I CAN’T DO

Emerson:
BUT I’M STANDING IN THE SUN
CHOKING ON THE TRUTH
