John Cardoza
Foot Down
[ELISEO]
Yesterday
You were just a boy
And you looked up to me
But everything has changed
In such a small amount of time
And I can hardly breathe
Breathe
Breathe

I remember your first breath
I remember you first tears
I remember parts of your past
You don't even know
I helped you conquer your fears
I worked so you could thrive
So you would never have to feel like
You're barely scrapping by
I've tried

[ELISEO, ELISEO & ENSEMBLE, ENSEMBLE]
Where did I go wrong?
Where am I to go from here?
Tell me do I take the wheel and drive
Or do I let him steer?
Am I in the wrong? The wrong
Or do I trust my gut and say enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough!
Do I put my foot down?
I'm trying to help you right now
Everything's in your hands
Come home while you still can
There's still a chance
This offer won't always stand!

[INDIGO]
I did come come this far to give up now
Once could you just be proud

[ELISEO]
Proud?

[INDIGO]
You said you were ashamed to have me as a son
I told you I'm done!

[ELISEO, ELISEO &ENSEMBLE, ENSEMBLE]
Where did I go wrong?
Where am I to go from here?
Tell me do I take the wheel and drive
Or do I let him steer?
Am I in the wrong? The wrong
Or do I trust my gut and say enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough!
[ELISEO, ENSEMBLE]
Do I put my foot down?
What does you gut say? What does your heart say?
Do I put my foot down?
What does you gut say? What does your heart say?
Do I put my foot down?
What does you gut say? What does your heart say?
Someone tell me do I put my foot down?
What does you gut say? What does your heart say?
Do I put my foot down?
Do I put my foot

[CAROL]
We're not perfect
We can be rough
We can forget to let them know
That they are enough
She won't forgive me
Won't forget
But she'll

[CAROL AND CLARA]
Smile away
And hide the pain

[CAROL]
And leave me with regret
All alone
Pack up your clothes and go
Patch up the broken holes
But if you only you knew
Just how I much I love you
Those three words
We don't say them enough
Our pride's too strong
And we're too far gone
We're too far gone
We're too far gone

[ELISEO AND INDIGO, CAROL, ELISEO & INDIGO & CLARA, CAROL & CLARA]
Parting hearts We're not perfect
Filled with pain We can be rough
And regret
We can forget to let them know that they are enough
It's too hard (Way too hard) She won't forgive me
To forgive Won't forget
And forget But she'll smile away
And hide the pain and
Leave me with regret

[ELISEO & INDIGO & CLARA, CAROL CLARA]
(We're so far) All alone, pack up your clothes and go
We're so far from the love Patch up the broken holes
We beget But if only you knew
All alone Just how much I love you
Those three words
We don't say them enough
Our pride's too strong
And too far gone And were too far gone
We're too far gone

[ALL EXCEPT INDIGO, INDIGO, ALL EXCEPT CLARA]
Where did we go wrong?
Where are we to go from here?

[ELISEO & CAROL, ALL]
Tell me do I take the wheel and drive
Or do I let him steer?

[INDIGO, ELISEO, ALL]
Or am I in the wrong? Am I in the wrong?
Or do I trust my gut and say enough Am I in the wrong?

[ENSEMBLE, ELISEO]
Enough
Enough
Enough, I said enough!
Enough
Enough!
Time to put my foot down!

[ENSEMBLE, CAROL, CLARA, ELISEO]

What does you gut say? What does your heart say?
I've had enough, Smile away
Time to put my foot down
What does you gut say? What does your heart say?
I've had enough, Smile away
Time to put my foot down
What does you gut say? What does your heart say?
I've had enough, Smile away
Time to put my foot down
What does you gut say? What does your heart say?

[CAROL]
I've had enough!
