about

Taryn, Allie and Meg come into their own.

lyrics

TARYN:
No one looks me in the eye anymore
That’s okay. Not like they did it much before

MEG:
And though I’m on the team, nobody seems to pat me on the back
That’s okay. Cuz I think I see the spot I got off track.

ALLIE:
I just assumed I’d been confined to the corner
There wasn’t a choice, my label and voice were all pre-assigned
ALL THREE:
And they’d disapprove if I wanted to move this unnatural order
But now I see nobody but me gets to choose how I’m defined
Because

Now I’ve seen you around
Seen you up, seen you deep down in the dumps
Cause you thought your life was in ruins
But before you started to drown
You reached up, I reached out of my funk
And I see now that’s the key that makes us human

MEG:
No one’s brave enough to say, anymore,
We’re all okay
They’d rather take sides, and keep score

ALLIE:
Though we’re all standing here, nobody nearby wants to lend a hand

TARYN:
I understand

ALL THREE:
But it’s time someone proposed a better plan

We all have dreams and the fears that out weigh them
But it’s time to grab hands, start to run and take the leap
Because we’re never gonna fly if we choose to obey them
Just remember if you fall, I’ll be there to help you back to your feet

‘Cuz Now I’ve seen you around
Seen you up, seen you deep down in the dumps
Cause you thought your life was in ruins
But before you started to drown
You reached up, I reached out of my funk
And I see now that’s the key that makes us human

ENSEMBLE:
Life is tricky, life is tough
And there’s no time for second chances
We are strong and smart enough
We’ll find a way to keep advancing
Don’t know what tomorrow brings
‘cuz life’s surprising and it’s scary
We’re prepared for anything
‘Cuz we are all extraordinary!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

TARYN:
So if you look me in the eyes from now on
You’ll see me

ENSEMBLE:
You’ll see me
You’ll see me
You’ll see me
You’ll see....
