Matthew Morrison
Believe
[J.M. BARRIE]
I see it all around us
In every single color
And every dimension
Crowns the reinvention
And if it is black, then it’s white
And when it is dark, then it’s light
So fill in all the spaces
With imaginary places

It’s so frustrating when no one else sees everything you see
So for now it is just an illusion, confusion
Unless you're someone who believes
When you look tell me what do you see?

[PETER]
Just a dog in a park

[J.M. BARRIE]
Is it real? Is it fiction?
Only make believe?
You act like you really don't care

[PETER]
Look with your eyes
[J.M. BARRIE]
But look with your eyes
He's a great Russian bear
And he's dancing and prancing
And bowing politely
He plays to full houses
Once daily, twice nightly
Prefix "ordinary" with "extra"
You'll see, believe, believe, believe

[J.M. BARRIE]
I don’t need rose-tinted spectacles
Just to see the fundamentals

[PETER]
A dog, a rock, a bench, a bone
A twig, a stick, a can, a stone

[J.M. BARRIE]
I only see the bright lights

[PETER]
A cloudy sky

[J.M. BARRIE/SYLVIA]
The sunset and the sunrise
[PETER]
Don't lie

[J.M. BARRIE]
And if it is weak

[GEORGE]
Then it’s strong

[PETER]
It's not strong

[J.M. BARRIE]
And just when it’s right

[JACK]
Then it’s wrong

[PETER]
It's not wrong

[J.M./SYLVIA/GEORGE/JACK/MICHAEL]
And everything my eyes see

[PETER]
And everything my eyes see
[J.M./SYLVIA/GEORGE/JACK/MICHAEL]
It’s nothing like it should be

[PETER]
Is only like it should be

[J.M./SYLVIA/GEORGE/JACK/MICHAEL]
It’s so frustrating when no one else sees everything you see
So, for now it is just an illusion, confusion
Unless you're someone who believes

[ENSEMBLE]
When you look tell me what do you see?

[SYLVIA]
You can believe

[ENSEMBLE]
Is it real? Is it fiction, only make believe?
You may think we're safe on the path

[SYLVIA]
You must believe

[ENSEMBLE]
But the grass is the water that's rising too fast

[SYLVIA]
And now Kensington Park is the biggest lagoon

[J.M. BARRIE]
And this bench is a rock

[ENSEMBLE]
And we're all marooned here
Hear the mermaids sing their beautiful song
When you look tell me what do you see

[SYLVIA/GEORGE/JACK/MICHAEL]
You can believe

[ENSEMBLE]
Is it real or a mystery scientifically?
It's more than a bench in a park

[SYLVIA/GEORGE/JACK/MICHAEL]
You must believe

[ENSEMBLE]
Look again, it’s a rocket that’s headed for Mars
On a mission to search for new life
When we'll be back, who knows
’Cause it’s really a long flight
Turn the whole world upside-down
And you’ll see, believe, believe, believe

[J.M. BARRIE]
Just imagination
And creative speculation
Our life's calling
Was never meant to be boring

[ENSEMBLE]
No!
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Believe!
