Matthew Morrison - The World Is Upside Down lyrics

[Barrie:] Welcome my friends Glad you could join me on this most auspicious day I hope you'll forgive Mistakes and errors We're just getting under way You may recognize some of the scenes You all played a part in sowing the seeds Cause there is magic here in my imagination Just believe and it can be a creation The stories we invented All the fun that we found Appearing here before your eyes The world is upside down! [Miss Ba**ett:] Our characters [Miss Jones:] Nibs and Tootles...? [Miss Ba**ett:] What is their motivation? Because you see, I have to live and breathe my part, drawing from my own life experience... [Barrie:] Nibs is a lost boy [Miss Ba**ett:] Lost! Good, interesting [Miss Jones:] Yes... [Miss Ba**ett:] That I can use [Miss Jones:] Good, right [Miss Ba**ett:] Is he lost in an emotional purgatory? ...or lost in an existential search for himself? [Miss Jones:] Yes! [Barrie:] No, he's just lost [Miss Ba**ett:] Good heavens! Where, when, and how? [Barrie:] Do you have experience being lost? [Miss Ba**ett & Miss Jones:] We're experiencing it now [Mr. Henshaw:] Dogs! [Miss Potter:] Boys! [Mr. Cromer:] Flying! [Miss Ba**ett:] Lost! [Frohman:] So... [Actors:] Frustration! [Barrie & Boys:] Believe and it can [Actors:] No! [Barrie & Boys:] Be a creation [Miss Ba**ett:] Actors don't fly... [Mr. Cromer:] Because actors could die! [Boys:] Start by saying I can do And then you can try [Miss Jones:] I can't [Miss Potter:] I wont [Mr. Henshaw:] Will not [Mr. Turrin:] Not me [Actors:] There is no magic in your imagination I do not believe in your new creation This disaster is all due to your play This could be my last first day [Mr. Cromer:] Nauseous! [Miss Potter:] Anxious... [Mr. Henshaw:] My reputation! [Miss Ba**ett & Miss Jones:] Playing lost? [Actors:] Get lost! Serious actors cannot work this way! [Frohman:] A positive start! [Actors:] The world is upside down! What you mean to me [Barrie:] Standing here All at once All the words run dry [Sylvia:] Something changed Can't explain And I can't deny [Barrie:] Turning in circles And blurring the lines [Both:] The unspoken is calling us tonight I won't lie I'm a little bit frightened of my imagination Swear I'll try But I'm feeling enlightened Youre my inspiration We can fly if we want to I promise Faith will give you wings [Barrie:] Just take the second star on the right Straight ahead till the morning light [Both:] Just take the second star on the right Straight ahead till morning light [Barrie:] Every word and every sentence Doesn't seem to make a difference Nothing can explain Just what you mean to me [Sylvia:] Every shape and all the colours All the love from all the lovers Never quite express Just what you mean to me [Barrie & Sylvia:] Every instinct Every Feeling Breathless All my senses reeling Cannot even say Just what you mean to me Turning in circles And blurring the lines I won't lie I'm a little bit frightened of my imagination I swear I'll try Youre my inspiration We can fly if we want to I promise Faith will give you wings Just take the second star on the right Straight ahead till the morning light Just take the second star on the right Straight ahead till the morning light Every star that's ever fallen Knows the way to where we're going Now I really know Just what you mean to me
