Is to be over there

And when you followed you made me feel
39
It's like you were leading while I was following
Brandon: Anytime!
40
Vivienne: Well…long story short. I always loved to
sing with Zoe and she said, “Hey, why don’t you
join my singing studio?” and I was like, “yeah, I
would love to but I can’t afford it.” So then one day
she came over my house and asked if I can do it if
she would loan me some money. And she paid for
it and now I’m here. So, long story short–thanks to
Zoe!
41
Zoe: You’re very welcome! So, how did you like
your first day at the studio?
So I say
42
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
For giving it to me
All: So I say
43
What would life be?
For giving it to me
All: Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
For giving it to me
So I say
44
Thank you for the music,
SCENE 8: PRACTICE
Betty: Na na na na
Na na na na
Yeah
You are the music in me
All: You know the words once upon a time
Make you listen
There's a reason
When you dream there's a chance you'll find
A little laughter or happy ever after
45
Zoe: Your harmony to the melody
It's echoing inside my head
A single voice (single voice)
Above the noise
And like a common thread
Mmm, you're pulling me
Cameron: When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Lilianna: Yeah, it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
All: Na na na na, oh
Na na na na
Yeah yeah yeah (na na na na)
You are the music in me
Emma: It's like I knew you before we met (before
we met)
Can't explain (oh)
There's no name for it (no name for it)
46
Brandon: I'm saying words that I never said
And it was easy (so easy)
Because you see the real me (I see you)
Hailey: As I am
You understand
And that's more than I ever known
To hear your voice (hear your voice)
Above the noise (oh oh)
I know, I'm not alone
Oh, you're singing to me (ooh yeah)
All: When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong (yeah oh)
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
You are the music in me

know…I invited Betty.
Betty: Hi guys!
All: Betty!
53
Zoe: Yes that would be great!
Betty: Oh thanks.
54
you so much for always being there for me. You are
the reason why I am succeeding. You’re probably
the reason why we’re all succeeding! If it weren’t
for you, I wouldn’t have been here. I couldn’t
afford it. You helped me. That’s the one thing that
counts—friendship.
I HAVE A DREAM:
All: I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in
Everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time
55
Is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I have a dream
A fantasy
To help me through
Reality
And my destination
Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness
Still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in
Everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time
Is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
56
I'll cross the stream
Vivienne: I have a dream
