Verse 1:
Elizabeth:
I stand at the edge, my life's a stage
In the spotlight, but trapped in a cage
Perfect on the surface, hollow inside
It's time for a leap, no more lies to hide
Chorus:
Here we go, here we go
Life's a journey, let's start the show
With every step, with every breath
I'll find myself, I'll cheat death
Verse 2:
Elizabeth and Ensemble:
I've dreamed of a world beyond these walls
Where passion thrives and love calls
No more shadows, no more fear
A new beginning, my path is clear
Chorus:
Here we go, here we go
Life's a journey, let's start the show
With every step, with every breath
I'll find myself, I'll cheat death
Bridge:
Elizabeth:
Leaving behind what's known and safe
There's a thrill in the unknown's embrace
Fate may lead me to places new
But this time, my heart will guide me through
Chorus:
Here we go, here we go
Life's a journey, let's start the show
With every step, with every breath
I'll find myself, I'll cheat death
Outro:
Ensemble:
So here we stand, the skies are wide
With open hearts, there's no divide
Together we'll conquer, you'll see
The world awaits, Elizabeth, be free
Elizabeth:
Here we go, here we go
Life's a journey, let's start the show
With every step, with every breath
I'll find myself, I'll cheat death
Ensemble:
Here we go, here we go
Here we go, let's start the show
Let's start the show
