Changing Lives
by Meryl Streep

[ Featuring James Corden, The Prom Ensemble ]

[DEE DEE, spoken]
Don't tell me, unless it's a rave. Or a mixed positive

[SHELDON, spoken]
It says we're a hit!

[BARRY, spoken]
Oh my God!
(sung)
We're a hit and I think we deserve it!

[DEE DEE]
That's for sure

[BARRY]
Also, it means that this tour de force
Will not be forced to tour

[DEE DEE, spoken]
To Eleanor! May she run for eternity!

[ENSEMBLE]
To Eleanor!

[ALL]
Cheers to a show that's so inspiring
It's almost too much to sit through
And if we've won that might mean one more thing

[BARRY]
That in ten years or so, we'll do Eleanor 2!

[DEE DEE]
I can predict what the reviews will say
Before the next note has arrived
It's ground-breaking

[ENSEMBLE]
Earth-shaking

[BARRY]
Life-affirming

[ENSEMBLE]
Breathtaking

[BARRY and DEE DEE]
Gut-wrenching

[ALL]
Heart-aching

[BARRY and DEE DEE]
In two words, it's history-making
That's why every actor strives
For adulation
And compensation
That comes from nightly
Changing lives

[BARRY, spoken]
It's just what we do

Changing Lives (Reprise)
by Meryl Streep

[ Featuring James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Rannells ]

[BARRY]
We're gonna prove that in this day and age
Being gay isn't a crime
This is our moment to change the world
One lesbian

[TRENT]
Lesbian!

[DEE DEE]
Lesbian!

[ANGIE]
Lesbian!

[ALL]
At a time!

[BARRY]
We're gonna help that little lesbian
Whether she likes it or not
When you're a legendary thespian

[DEE DEE]
First you help the distressed

[TRENT]
Then you help the distraught

[BARRY]
We're going down to where the necks are red
And lack of dentistry thrives
Why sing and dance
When you can take a stance?

[ALL]
And know you're truly changing lives
We're gonna march until that town looks like
The end of Act One of Les Miz
You don't gotta have a Ph.D. in psych
To know that people kowtow to the folks in the biz

[BARRY]
We're gonna teach 'em to be more PC
The minute our group arrives

[ALL]
That's right!

[BARRY]
Those fist-pumping

Just Breathe
by Jo Ellen Pellman

[BOY 2, spoken]
Like, an exchange student?

[EMMA, spoken]
Maybe

[BOY, spoken]
Well then why don't you, like, exchange her for a guy?

[BOY 2, spoken]
Dude, nice!

[EMMA]
Note to self: People suck in Indiana
Leave today, pray the Greyhound isn't full
Who knew asking out a girl to the prom
Would go over just like an atom bomb
And make things much worse with your dad and mom?
And who'd have ever thought that could be possible?

Just breathe, Emma
Picture a beach with golden sand
Just breathe, Emma
Picture a Xanax in your hand

Try journaling or start a blog
Just end this inner monologue
Seethe if you must
But just breathe

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
Okay, I just got off the phone with the state's attorney. She thinks this is a civil rights issue. This is a big deal, Emma

[EMMA, spoken]
So, what are you saying?

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
I'm just saying I'm really excited to be a part of something like this

[EMMA, spoken]
We'll see how the PTA meeting goes

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
Okay, well, it's not gonna be fun. We'll get through it. Just take a sec. Relax

[EMMA]
Just breathe, Emma
Remember that thing called oxygen
Just breathe, Emma
Look at the crazy state you're in

Just smile and nod, although they're jerks
Say namaste and pray it works
And like we've discussed
Just breathe

It's Not About Me
by Meryl Streep

[ Featuring James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Rannells, Kevin Chamberlin, Keegan-Michael Key, Jo Ellen Pellman, Kerry Washington, The Prom Ensemble ]

[BARRY, spoken]
Sing it, Eleanor!

[DEE DEE]
Her belt!
But it's not about me
Go on then, threaten to riot
It won't faze me in the least
I understand furious townsfolk
I did Beauty and The Beast

I'm no stranger to slander
So my dear, you're not alone
The Post once said
I was too old to play Eva Perón

Eva Perón!
But it is not about me
It's Emma's story, damn it
Equality
Should be this country's norm
No photography
Unless you Instagram it
Use "hashtag Dee Dee Takes Local Yokels By Storm"

But it's not about me

I didn't come here to make a scene
But I know how Emma's heart aches
And this is how actors intervene
With fiery songs and dance breaks

(dance break)

[DEE DEE + (STUDENTS)]
But it's not about me
Although I'm rich and famous
Publicity
Is not my final goal (Call security)
You needn't be backwoods ignoramus
Join me and we'll start fighting
Could I get softer lighting?
Wait, this is not about me!

[STUDENTS + (OTHER STUDENTS)]
This is not about (What is happening?!)
This is not about (What is happening?!)
This is not about (What is happening?!)

[DEE DEE]
It is all about, uh, Emma
And not about
Me

Dance with You
by Jo Ellen Pellman

[ Featuring Ariana DeBose ]

[EMMA]
I don't want to start a riot
I don't want to blaze a trail
I don't want to be a symbol
Or cautionary tale
I don't want to be a scapegoat
For people to oppose
What I want is simple
As far as wanting goes

I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you
Who cares what other people say?
And when we're through
No one can convince us we were wrong
All it takes is you and me
And a song

[ALYSSA]
I don't need a big production
Streamers hanging in the air
I don't need to spend the night
With confetti in my hair
I don't need a room of people
That I don't really know

[EMMA]
I just want to hold you

[BOTH]
And never let you go!

I just wanna dancе with you
Let the whole world mеlt away
And dance with you
Who cares what other people say?
And when we're through

[EMMA]
No one can convince us we were wrong

[BOTH]
All it takes is you and me
And a song

[ALYSSA, spoken]
Oh, it's my mom. I gotta go

[EMMA, spoken]
Okay. Bye

All it takes is you and me
And a song

The Acceptance Song
by Andrew Rannells

[ Featuring Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, The Prom Ensemble ]

[TRENT]
Flowers accept the rain
And grow more beautiful
Babies accept their mother's breast
So they can grow strong
I accept that I was born a handsome man
So join with me and sing this acceptance song

Let us accept one another
I know it's truly hard
We're sister and brother
Here's what I learned at Juilliard

Bigotry's not big of me
And it's not big of you
Let's all work together
To make rainbow dreams come true

(spoken)
Ladies and Gentlemen, two-time Tony Award winner, Miss Dee Dee Allen!

[DEE DEE]
Acorns accept the sun
And turn to mighty oaks
Sperm whales accept fresh sea air
Through their blowhole thing

[TRENT]
Blowholes!
Bumblebees accept they'll die within a year

[TRENT & DEE DEE]
And still they flap their soon-to-be-dead wings
Let us accept one another

[TRENT]
Forget your politics
We're sister and brother
And so let's not be total dicks
Bigotry's not big of me
And it's not big of you
Let's all work together
To make rainbow dreams come true

(spoken)
Ladies and Gentlemen, the non-equity cast of Godspell and one-time Drama Desk winner, Barry Glickman

[BARRY]
Accept me
Accept me
Accept me
Accept me
Accept me
Accept me
Accept me

[ALL]
Let us accept one another
Join our fight today
We're sister and brother
Make people hear us when we say
Bigotry's not big of me
And it's not big of you
Let's all work together
Let's make a rainbow

[TRENT]
And make rainbow dreams come true

[ALL]
Accept us
Accept us
Accept us
Accept us

Let's make rainbow dreams come true

You Happened

[ Featuring Ariana DeBose, Nathaniel J. Potvin, Nico Greetham, The Prom Ensemble ]

[GIRL 1, spoken]
Guess what today is?

[GIRL 2, spoken]
What?

[GIRL 1, spoken]
Promposal day!

[NICK, spoken]
Hey, Kaylee!

[sung]
Since J.V. football I've been adored
Big man on campus, but oh so bored
My life was perfect, but so routine
I prayed for someone to intervene
Then something new happened
And turned my life around entirely
And that's 'cause you happened
And look what happened to me
So go to prom with me, Kaylee!

[KAYLEE, spoken]
You're such an idiot, yes!

[KEVIN, spoken]
Hey Shelby, you're next

[sung]
There's not one subject that I could pass
Before you walked into my Spanish class
Was my heart pounding? I won't say no
'Cause life without you was no bueno
Then something new happened
And turned my life around entirely
And that's 'cause you happened
And look what happened to me
So go to prom with me, Shelby!

[SHELBY, spoken]
Si! Si señor!

[EMMA]
And no more hiding how we feel anymore

[ALYSSA]
I won't hide if you're by my side

[EMMA]
Now that the prom is back on track
And once we walk into that gym hand in hand

[EMMA & ALYSSA]
It's pretty obvious there's no going back

[ALYSSA]
And that's a promise!
Before I met you, I was a mess
Not honest with myself, I confess

[EMMA]
I was so lonely, a total wreck
Just sad and hopeless — check, double check!

[EMMA & ALYSSA]
Then something new happened
And turned my life around entirely
And that's 'cause you happened
And look what happened to me
Something so true happened
And soon it's time to share it publicly
And all 'cause you happened

[ALYSSA]
And said you'd go to prom with

[EMMA]
Said you'd go to prom with

[EMMA & ALYSSA]
Said you'd go to prom with me!

We Look to You
by Keegan-Michael Key

[TOM]
My days have little glamour
Writing memos, making calls
And wincing at the grammar
Written on the bathroom walls
It's all school supplies and budget size
And wading through red tape
That's why I love the theater
It's how I escape

[DEE DEE, spoken]
So, theater's a distraction, is that what you mean?

[TOM, spoken]
A distraction is momentary. An escape helps you heal

[sung]
We look to you to take us away
From the soul-crushing jobs and emasculating pay
When our lives come up short and our hopes are sad and few
You whisk us off to some place strange and new

We look to you in good times and bad
The worlds you crеate make the rеal one seem less sad
The curtain goes up and every now and then
It feels as if we're coming home again
Yes, coming home again

We need a place to run to when everything goes wrong
When the answer to each problem is to burst into a song
And standard rules of logic just simply don't apply
When people dance in unison and no one wonders why

[DEE DEE, spoken]
Oh, you make it sound so beautiful

[TOM]
We look to you, as strange as it seems
When reality goes to scary new extremes
So don't ever give up and this I guarantee
Next time you think no one cares, you can look to me

Tonight Belongs to You
by The Cast of Netflix's Film The Prom

[BARRY]
I can tell you're feeling wary
But you can count on Uncle Barry
He can turn this butchy duck into a swan
Your whole look could use a shake-up
You can borrow all my makeup
And the pair of Spanx I currently have on

[EMMA, spoken]
I think I'll pass

[BARRY]
Treat the whole world like your runway
Make it fierce but in a fun way
Try to flip your hair like Cher
And drag queens do
And I don't mean to be rude, dear
But you could use some attitude, dear
Let's show the school that tonight belongs to you

One thing's universal
Life's no dress rehearsal
So why not make some waves before it's through?
Go big or you'vе blown it
It's time that you own it
Let's make it clеar that tonight belongs to you

(spoken)
Now, whatever we choose, we gotta remember to sell it

[EMMA, spoken]
How do I do that?

[BARRY, spoken]
Allow Miss Glickman to demonstrate

(sung)
You might find this disconcerting
But old Barry's done some flirting
Try to bat your eyes
Smize each time you grin

[EMMA]
I can guess your whole agenda

[BARRY]
You be Elphie, I'm Galinda

[BOTH]
It's makeover time so why not just give in?

[BARRY]
Come on!

[BOTH]
One thing's universal
Life's no dress rehearsal
So why not make some waves before it's through?
Go big or you've blown it

[EMMA]
It's time that I own it

[BARRY]
Yes, ma'am!

[BOTH]
Let's make it clear that tonight belongs to you

[BARRY, spoken]
What?

[EMMA]
Belongs to me

[SHELBY, spoken]
Oh God, I can't believe this is finally happening

[KAYLEE, spoken]
She almost ruined it for all of us

[SHELBY, spoken]
Well, what goes around comes around. You look hot!

[KAYLEE, spoken]
You look so hot!

[BOTH]
Well I hate to sound conceited
But the boys get overheated
When I strike a pose or two like thus

[KAYLEE]
And you have to hand it to me
I mean even I would do me

[BOTH]
Let's show the world tonight belongs to us
One thing's universal
Life's no dress rehearsal
Excuse me while I state the obvious

Go big or you've blown it
It's time that we own it
And make it clear that tonight belongs to us

[MRS. GREENE, spoken]
Alyssa, you look so beautiful. You should always wear your hair like this

[ALYSSA, spoken]
Mom, I just want you to know what's going to happen tonight

[MRS. GREENE, spoken]
No, can we not spoil this, please? I have worked so hard for tonight, I have a right to enjoy it, too. You are gonna have a wonderful prom like a normal girl. I've made sure of that

[ALYSSA, spoken]
What is that supposed to mean?

[MRS. GREENE]
I don't like when strangers get in my way
Or anyone who messes with the PTA
Well maybe that's just me
But trust me
Fixing little problems is what I do
Now everyone is happy, I promise you
And I would never miss a
Night like this, Alyssa
You're my superstar
Now get your ass in the car

[ALL]
One thing's universal
Life's no dress rehearsal
Excuse me while I state the obvious

Go big or you've blown it
It's time that we own it
And make it clear that tonight belongs to
Make it clear that tonight belongs to
Make it clear that tonight belong...

Zazz
by Nicole Kidman

[ Featuring Jo Ellen Pellman ]

[ANGIE]
When a challenge lies ahead
And you are filled with dread
And worry
Give it some zazz

If your courage disappears
What'll get your fears
To scurry?
Give it some zazz

Zazz is style plus confidence
It may seem corny or kitsch
But when scared or on the fence
You'll find that zazz will soon make fear become your bitch

And if folks say you can't win
What'll stop them in
A hurry?
Give it some zazz
There's no contest for a girl who has some razzmatazz

So call their bluff
And strut your stuff
Like no chick in this hick town has
Instead of giving up
Oh, give it some zazz

[EMMA, spoken]
I just don't think I can do it. The thought of getting up in front of all of thosе people? Look at my hands! They'rе shaking!

[ANGIE]
If your hands are shakin'
Just turn 'em into jazz hands

[spoken]
Doesn't that feel better?

[EMMA, spoken]
No

[ANGIE, spoken]
Try this

(instrumental break)

[EMMA, spoken]
This is awkward

[ANGIE, spoken]
You don't understand the concept of zazz. The zazz is not the moves.The zazz comes from within. Do the moves, then give it some zazz
Close your eyes. Think about Mrs. Greene. Think about that fake prom. Now, think of finally doing somethin' about it
Oh, I'm seeing it!
I'm seeing your zazz!
Now follow me!

[BOTH]
Do like the brave and bossy do
And if they tear you apart

[ANGIE]
Ask what would Bob Fosse do?
He'd make the people have a step ball change of hearts

[BOTH, spoken]
Ball change!

[sung]
And if folks say you can't win
What'll stop them in
A hurry?

[ANGIE, spoken]
Give it some zazz

[BOTH]
There's no contest for a girl who has some razzmatazz

[ANGIE]
So call their bluff

[EMMA]
Bam!
And strut my stuff

[ANGIE]
Bam!

[BOTH]
Like no chick in this hick town has
Instead of giving up
Give it some zazz

[ANGIE, spoken]
Now that you've found your zazz, it's time to show it to the world
You think you know how?

The Ladys Improving
by Meryl Streep

[DEE DEE]
The lady's improving
So don't give up hope
You'll ask, "Is she perfect?"
My answer is nope!

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
I know what you're doing

[DEE DEE]
Her range needs expanding
Her edges need sanding
But she can become a sure bet!
So I'm begging you sir
Don't give up on her yet

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
You're trying to appeal to the fan in me
Well, it won't work
I'm not a fan anymore

[DEE DEE]
The lady's improving
So much that she gloats
I know you've got standards
Feel free to give notes

There isn't an issue
And that's why I wish you
Could see there's no reason to fret
So I'm bеgging you sir
Don't give up on her yet

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
Sеriously, Dee Dee, this is unsettling
It's like a fantasy that I don't want to have

[DEE DEE]
Everybody thinks that I've got some kinks
That I'll never work out
Even you're inclined
To think I'm unrefined

But I promise with some time
That my aptitude will climb
And you'll leave your doubts
And disbeliefs behind!

The lady's improving
Removing all doubt
She has hidden charms
That are sure to come out

You're bound to discover
This book's not her cover
So don't make a move you'll regret!
So I'm begging you sir
No reneging on her

Don't give up on her yet!

Alyssa Greene
by Ariana DeBose

[spoken]
You know what my mother's like. She's a complete and total control freak

[sung]
The hair has to be perfect
The A's have to be straight
You have to join the debate club
On that there's no debate
You'll have Bible camp each summer to keep you pure and clean
Endless rules apply when you're Alyssa Greene

Trophies have to be first place
Ribbons have to be blue
There's always some compеtition
Or hoops for jumping through
Your mom's made sacrifices so win Homecoming Queen
'Causе it's do or die when you're Alyssa Greene

And you wish there was a world where you were simply free to live
And when people criticized you, you had no more shits to give
And in this other lifetime when you tell yourself "be brave"
You won't cave
That's the one thing I truly crave

But your feelings have to be phony
Your weight has to be tracked
If you don't like shaking pom-poms
You'd better learn to act
Just have everything perfected
By the time you reach eighteen
Don't ask how or why when you're Alyssa Greene

Improve all of your strong points
And hide things that you lack
'Cause mom's convinced if you're perfect
Your father might come back
You're not yourself
You're not what she wants
You're someone in between
Your whole life's a lie when you're Alyssa Greene

You're not yourself
You're not what she wants
You're someone in between

Love Thy Neighbor

Whoa! Stepdad? Do you mean your parents are divorced?

[KEVIN]
Yeah, and?

[TRENT]
Well, divorce is a big no-no

(Song)
Not to oversimplify
But the scripture does imply
That your mom will have to die
How's tomorrow if she's not got any plans?

There's no way to separate
Which rules you can violate
Let's hope you don't masturbate

Barry is Going to Prom
by James Corden

I'm oddly excited
Perhaps that's because
Although it shouldn't matter
It somehow does

It's strange but
I feel like I'm in a time machine
'Cause guess what?
It's like I'm suddenly seventeen
So book a white limo, uncork the Dom
After twenty-one years, I am finally going to prom

I once thought
A night like this wasn't in the cards
Now I've got
A date, a tux and the whole nine yards
A rational person
Would just stay calm
Oh, since when am I rational?
Barry is going to prom

The prom!

I wish I could tell that sad kid I was
Just stop crying into his Cheetos
They say it gets better
Guess what? It doеs!
Who cares if you're a big old girl?
Just get into that gym
And twirl

Barry's going to thе
To the freaking prom
Going to the prom

In showbiz I've never felt such a thrill divine
My date is a high school lesbian, still it's fine
And though it's been years
I might call my mom
And tell her that though it's overdue
All of my waiting is over too
And if you're not happy, I'm over you

'Cause Barry
Yes Barry
Look at me mom!
Barry's going to
Prom

Unruly Heart
by Jo Ellen Pellman

[ Featuring The Prom Ensemble ]

[EMMA]
Some hearts can conform
Fitting the norm
Flaunting their love for all to see
I tried to change
Thinking how easy life could be

I just kept on failing
I guess that was a sign
That there wasn't much hope
For this unruly heart of mine

Then, you came along
And right or wrong
Feelings began to overflow
We had to hide
Thinking that no one else could know

And not having you near me
Was where I drew the line
So, I had to conceal
This poor, unruly heart of mine

And though I don't know how or when
But somehow, I learned to see
No matter what the world might say
This heart is the best part of me!

So fear's all in the past
Fading so fast
I won't stay hidden anymore
I'm who I am
And I think that's worth fighting for

And nobody out there ever gets to define
The life I'm meant to lead
With this unruly heart of mine

[BOY 1, spoken]
Hi, Emma. I loved your video. Where do I start?

[GIRL 1, spoken]
I think my parents always knew

[BOY 2, spoken]
I felt so alone

[BOY 3, spoken]
Nothing made sense until him

[GIRL 2, spoken]
She's the best thing in my life

[GIRL 3, spoken]
The only good thing

[BOY 1, spoken]
But we're always hiding

[BOY 2, spoken]
You're not the only one

And though I don't know how or when

[GIRL]
But somehow, I learned to see

[BOY & GIRL]
No matter what the world might say

This heart is the best part of me

So fear's all in the past
Fading so fast
I won't stay hidden anymore
I'm who I am
And I think that's worth fighting for

And nobody out there ever gets to define
The life I'm meant to lead
With this unruly heart of mine
Mine

[EMMA]
And nobody out there ever gets to define
The life I'm meant to lead
With this unruly heart of mine

It's Time to Dance
by Jo Ellen Pellman

[ Featuring Ariana DeBose, Meryl Streep, James Corden, Andrew Rannells, Nicole Kidman, Kevin Chamberlin, Keegan-Michael Key, Kerry Washington, The Prom Ensemble ]

[ALYSSA]
I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you

[ALYSSA & EMMA]
Who cares what other people say?
And when we're through
No one can convince us we were wrong
All it takes you and me

[EMMA]
And a song

[ALYSSA]
I just wanna dance with you

[EMMA]
Let the whole world melt away and dance

[ALYSSA]
I just wanna dance with

[ALYSSA & EMMA]
You

[EMMA]
One thing you've taught me
Is how much people enjoy a show
And so you've got me
Debating how this whole night should go
Kids will be watching
To see who every guest is
And so my only requеst is

Build a prom for everyone
Show thеm all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves

[ALYSSA & EMMA]
Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance

But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
It's time to dance

[DEE DEE]
I just wanna dance with you

[BARRY]
I just want to dance with you

[TRENT]
And now we're dressed up

[BARRY]
You are a vision in aqua blue

[EMMA]
It's time we fessed up
This year, our prom queen will be you

[BARRY]
Maybe I'll wear a tiara
When it's go time

[ALL]
Get ready, folks
'Cause it's show time

Build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves

Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance

But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
It's time to dance

[ALYSSA & EMMA]
This is more than I dared wish for
It's epic and what's more
Tonight, there's room for anyone
So everyone on the floor
Get on the floor

[Instrumental Break]

[ALL]
It's time to build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves

Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance

But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
And take to the floor
That's what the floor's for
It's time to dance

[ALYSSA & EMMA]
I just wanna dance with you

[ALL]
It's time to dance

[ALYSSA & EMMA]
I just wanna dance with you

[ALL]
It's time to dance
Dance
Dance
Dance
It's time to dance

Wear Your Crown
by Meryl Streep

[ Featuring Ariana DeBose, Jo Ellen Pellman, Kerry Washington, Nicole Kidman ]

Gotta wear your crown
Shout it loud
And let the world know how
Your DNA is perfectly made (gotta shout it loud)

Wear your crown
And shine your light around
Don't waste a day
It's time to be brave (gotta wear your crown)

Oh, let's celebrate (gotta shout it loud)
Oh, gotta wear your crown

Just grab a microphone
It's time to set the tone
You've got dreams of your own
So go and get them
It's time to turn the tide
Don't let your colors hide
No one can take your pride
Unless you let them
You just have to believe
No one could ever dress you down (gotta wear your crown)

Shout it loud
And let the world know how
Your DNA is perfectly made (gotta shout it loud)

Wear your crown
And shine your light around
Don't waste a day
It's time to be brave (gotta wear your crown)

Oh, let's celebrate (gotta shout it loud)
Oh, gotta wear your crown

Gotta wear your crown or your tiara
Now is the time to bust out the mascara
Who needs shades, there's nothing duller
We livin' life in full technicolor
But if your sparkle starts to fade
Go out and start your own parade
And if somebody starts in with new drama
Just go high, like Michelle Obama
You just have to believe
No one could ever dress you down (gotta wear your crown)
Shout it loud
And let the world know how
Your DNA is perfectly made (gotta shout it loud)
Stand your ground
And join us in the crowd
This is your day
It's time to be brave (gotta wear your crown)
Oh, oh, oh
God don't make mistakes (gotta wear your crown)
Oh, oh, oh
Let's celebrate
Gotta wear your crown

Simply Love
by James Corden

Verse 1]
Early one moment, you'll wake up and find
A note's been slipped beneath your door
It says the same thing that I wrote in mine:
"Mom, I love you, but I can't lie anymore."

And in that moment you'll forget to breathe
Your future has no guarantee
Will you disown the girl you say you love
Like my mother did 'cause she couldn't see

[Chorus]
That love is simply love
There's no judgment and no shame
The only thing to understand
Is that all of our hearts beat the same

Love is simply love
So what are you frightened of?
Your daughtеr loves you and she's begging you to
Just rеalize that love is simply love

[Verse 2]
I've seen this story far too many times
The broken lives, the wasted years
You're still her mother and she's still your child
So don't let this end in tears

[Chorus]
'Cause love is simply love
There's no judgment and no shame
The only thing to understand
Is that all of our hearts beat the same

Oh, love is simply love
So what are you frightened of?
Your daughter needs you and she's beggin' you to
Just realize that love is simply love
