You stumble through your days

Got your head hung low, your sky's a shade of gray

Like a zombie in a maze

You're asleep inside, but you can shake awake

'Cause you're just a dead man walkin'

Thinkin' that's your only option

But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day

Sun is up and the color's blindin'

Take the world and redefine it

Leave behind your narrow mind, you'll never be the same

Come alive, come alive

Go and light your light, let it burn so bright

Reachin' up to the sky

And it's open wide, you're electrified

And the world becomes a fantasy

And you're more than you could ever be

'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open

And you know you can't go back again

To the world that you were livin' in

'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open

So come alive

I see it in your eyes

You believe that lie that you need to hide your face

Afraid to step outside

So you lock the door, but don't you stay that way

[LETTIE LUTZ]

No more livin' in those shadows

You and me, we know how that goes

[LORD OF LEEDS]

'Cause once you see it, oh, you'll never, never be the same

[ENSEMBLE]

Little bit of lightnin' strikin'

Bottled up to keep on shinin'

You can prove there's more to you

[P.T. BARNUM]

You cannot be afraid

[ENSEMBLE]

To come alive, come alive

Go and light your light, let it burn so bright

Reachin' up to the sky

And it's open wide, you're electrified

When the world becomes a fantasy

And you're more than you could ever be

'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open

And we know we can't go back again

To the world that we were livin' in

'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open

So come alive

Come one, come all, come in, come on

[ANNE WHEELER]

To anyone who's burstin' with a dream

[ENSEMBLE]

Come one, come all, you hear the call

[P.T. BARNUM]

To anyone who's searchin' for a way to break free

[ENSEMBLE]

Break free, break free

[ALL]

When the world becomes a fantasy

And you're more than you could ever be

'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open

And we know we can't go back again

To the world that we were livin' in

'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open (Hey)

When the world becomes a fantasy

And you're more than you could ever be

'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open (Yeah, yeah, oh)

And we know we can't go back again

To the world that we were livin' in

'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open

'Cause we're dreamin' with our eyes wide open

So come alive (Come alive, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
