Welcome to the show
The curtain opens slow
Take your seats, I'll set the scene
A weary boy, a weary dream
Join this symphony with me

1000 Miles he left from home
To play the parts from scripts he'd wrote
The stage is set and world sing with him

The world will sing with him

Here's to the dream
Now Stand and sing

Where you wanna be I can't
And where you'd wanna go I'd never
As I chase the american dream
Hear it in the way I scream
Don't try to save me cause you'll never
Take your aim
You'll remember our names

Where you wanna be I can't
And where you'd wanna go I'd never
As I chase the american dream
See it in the way I bleed
Don't try to save me cause you'll never
Understand this is more than a dream

Ready or not

Hold applause, the actors shy
Behind the stage where he weeps and cries
Behind the strings hear the ballad sing with him
The world will sing with him

Here's to the dream
Now stand and sing

Where you wanna be I can't
And where you'd wanna go I'd never
As I chase the american dream
Hear it in the way I scream
Don't try to save me cause you'll never
Take your aim
You'll remember our names

Where you wanna be I can't
And where you'd wanna go I'd never
As I chase the american dream
See it in the way I bleed
Don't try to save me cause you'll never
Understand this is more than a dream

Septic in the way you think
You try to change me but you'll never
As you bite off the hand that will feed

They say that we're useless
They pray that we'll fall
As I kick and scream
Are they proud of me
Proud of me now?

Join this symphony with me

Ready or not

They'll try to kick you while you're down
Face first you'll plummet through the sounds
"Give up and never chase your dreams"
"Grow up" is what they said to me
I trade my comfort for a dream
Back home they'll sing this song with me

Don't you know that
Where you wanna be I can't
And where you'd wanna go I'd never
As I chase the american dream
See it in the way I bleed
Don't try to save me cause you'll never
Understand this is more than a dream

Septic in the way you think
You try to change me but you'll never
As you bite off the hand that will feed

They say that we're useless
They pray that we'll fall
As I kick and scream
Are they proud of me
Proud of me now?

He'll entertain
He'll change his face
He'll change his life
He'll lead the way
The curtains closed but fear him in his wake
He light a fire that's hear to stay

Are they proud of me now?
