Role of a Lifetime |
| Those kids, they do believe in you |
| And that’s worth so much more |
| Than a line about a piece of fruit |
| Or a Tony Award |
| I was going for an EGOT |
| Let’s not get ahead of ourselves |
| Think of this as the role of a lifetime |
| It’s the part you were born to play |
| Keeping their dreams in your sight line |
| Now it’s their turn to take the stage |
| Think of this as a role to remember, like Elphaba or Éponine |
| I’m more of a Glinda |
| It’s all of the things you could ever bring to a scene |
| You know what I mean? |
| So give it your all, right from the start |
| You gotta play this from the heart |
| You’re their teacher, you’re the lead |
| And you’re off book now! |
| Give it a go, show 'em the way |
| We’re all in this together at the end of the day |
| I should know, after all, I played Ryan |
| (Ryan) |
| Is this the role of a lifetime? |
| The part I was born to play? |
| Showing them how to smile in the bright lights |
| Now it’s their turn to take the stage |
| This could be a role to remember, like Elsa or Eva Perón |
| I’ll teach them to channel their feelings, I’ll share what I know |
| And live for the show |
| I’ll give it my all, right from the start |
| I gotta play this from the heart |
| I’m their teacher, I’m the lead |
| And I’m off book now! |
| Give it a go, show 'em the way |
| You gotta let the music play |
| This is now and the rest is history |
| I felt small, I couldn’t breathe |
| When they took that apple from me |
| But you’re right here now |
| And you never know when you’ll get a cameo! |
| So give it your all, right from the start |
| You gotta let them play their parts |
| Tonight, all the roles will be played by the drama students of East High |
| Give it a go, show 'em the way |
| You gotta let the music play |
| This is now and we’re making history |
| History (History) |
