Music Monday and we look at The Greatest Show song from from The Greatest Showman musical featuring Zac Efron.
“The Greatest Show” is a truly inspirational song about recognizing one’s true passions, ceasing any false pretends and showing your true self and what makes yourself tick. Following one’s dreams takes courage as you never know where it might lead you, but it most definitely is empowering and intoxicating.
“The Greatest Show” is powerfully performed by Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Keala Settle, Zendaya, and The Greatest Showman Ensemble in the beginning and ending of “The Greatest Showman”.
[Hugh Jackman:]
(Whoa) colossal we come these renegades in the ring
(Whoa) where the lost get found and we crown them the circus kings
[Ensemble and Hugh Jackman:]
Don’t fight it, it’s coming for you, running at ya
It’s only this moment, don’t care what comes after
It’s blinding, outshining anything that you know
Just surrender ’cause you’re calling and you wanna go
Where it’s covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicating you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won’t come down
And the sun can’t stop us now
Watching it come true, it’s taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
[Hugh Jackman and Keala Settle:]
It’s everything you ever want
It’s everything you ever need
And it’s here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be (this is where you wanna be)
It’s everything you ever want
It’s everything you ever need
And it’s here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be
This is where you wanna be
[Ensemble, Zac Efron, Keala Settle, Zendaya and Hugh Jackman:]
Where it’s covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it’s taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won’t come down
And the sun can’t stop us now
Watching it come true, it’s taking over you
[Zac Efron:]
This is the greatest show
[Ensemble:]
Where it’s covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it’s taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won’t come down
And the walls can’t stop us now
I’m watching it come true, it’s taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
[Zac Efron and Zendaya:]
‘Cause everything you want is right in front of you
And you see the impossible is coming true
And the walls can’t stop us (now) now, yeah
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show “
