Original Broadway Cast of The Prom
The Acceptance Song
[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
[ALL]
Let us accept one another
I know it’s truly hard
We're sister and brother
It's what I learned at Julliard
[TRENT]
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 blow hole thing
[TRENT]
Blow hole
Bumblebees accept they'll die within a year
[TRENT & DEE DEE]
And still they flap their soon to be dead wings
[ALL]
Let us accept one another
[TRENT]
Forget your politics
[ALL]
We're sister and brother
[TRENT]
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 (x7)
[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 (x5)
Let's make rainbow dreams come true
(spoken)
Acceptance!
