Mrs. Coleman: And buried in your bones there’s an ache that you can’t ignore; Takin’ your breath, stealin’ your mind, and all that was real is left behind….

3rd Grade: Don’t fight it, it’s comin’ for you, runnin’ at you 3rd Grade: Don’t fight it, it’s comin’ for you, runnin’ at you. It’s only this moment, don’t care what comes after.

4th Grade: Your fever dream, can’t you see getting’ closer… Just surrender ‘cuz you feel the feelin’ takin’ over!

5th Grade: It’s fire, it’s freedom, it’s floodin’ open 5th Grade: It’s fire, it’s freedom, it’s floodin’ open. It’s the preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion.

Mrs. Coleman: There’s something’ breakin’ at the brick of every wall that’s holdin’ all that you know….

ALL: So tell me, do you wanna go… Where it’s covered in all the colored lights, Where the runaways are runnin’ the night?

ALL: Impossible comes true Mrs. Coleman: It’s takin’ over you!

ALL: (pg. 7) Oh. This is the greatest show ALL: (pg. 7) Oh! This is the greatest show! We light it up, we won’t come down… And the sun can’t stop us now!

Girls: Colossal we come, these renegades in the ring All: Whoa!

Boys: Where the lost get found and we crown ‘em the circus kings!

All: Don’t fight it, it’s comin’ for you, runnin’ at you All: Don’t fight it, it’s comin’ for you, runnin’ at you. It’s only this moment, don’t care what comes after. It’s blindin’, outshining’ anything that you know. Just surrender, cuz you’re comin’ and you wanna go….

(pg. 10) Where it’s covered in all the colored lights, Where the runaways are runnin’ the night? Impossible comes true, it’s taking over you. Oh! This is the greatest show!
