Raise You Up / Just Be
Once I was afraid, but then you came along
Put your faith in me and I was challenged to be strong
When I lost my way, you were there to see me through
Now let Lola lend some love and do the same for you
Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand
If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up.
When your bubble busts,
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up. (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up
Never put much heart in anything before.
You strut into my life and help me go for something more.
Now I stand up for myself.
Now I stand out from the crowd.
Now I'm standing on high heels
If Dad could see me now
Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand.
If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up.
When your bubble busts,
Let me raise you up.
If your glitter rusts,
Let me raise you up. (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up.
I knew you had it in you
I knew what you could do
You believed in me,
Let me be right for you.
Your stumbling days are done,
Now were walking on air.
I was a loose shoe but you need two to make a pair.
Wait wait wait wait wait hold it right there buster. Are you saying you'd like to take me out?
Yes
Are you saying you are Nikola are through
Yes
Are you saying you are actually available
Yes
And you still like girls?
Yes!
Oh. Carry on!
Feed your fire, to take you higher.
We'll light you up like a live wire.
Celebrate you, to elevate you,
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand
Look out Milan,
Here come Don, and Don has brought some friends along.
When you start things out of certainty,
Then the ones you love
Are gonna set you free!
Feed your fire, to take you higher.
We'll light you up like a live wire.
Celebrate you, to elevate you,
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand.
If you hit the dust,
Let me raise you up.
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up.
If your glitter rusts,
Let me raise you up. (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
If you hit the dust,
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts,
Let me raise you up.
If your glitter rusts,
Let me raise you up. (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up
Just be.
Raise you up
Raise you up.
Were the same, Charlie Boy, you and me
Just be
Who you wanna be.
Never let em tell you who you ought to be
Just be. With dignity.
Celebrate yourself triumphantly
Youll see.
Youll see.
Just be.
Just be.
Ladies, gentlemen, and those who have yet to make up their minds
As people all over the world clamor for kinky boots, it's time for us to get back to work
But before we go, we would like to leave you with the Price and Simon secret to success
Alright, now we've all heard of the 12 step program, have we not?
Yes, but what you can do in 12, I want you to know that we all can do in 6 now, and it goes like this
One: Pursue the truth
Two: Learn something new
Three: Accept yourself and you'll accept others too!
Four: Let love shine
Five: Let pride be your guide
Six: Change the world when you change your mind!
Just be. Who you wanna be.
Never let them tell you who you ought to be.
Just be. With dignity.
Celebrate your life triumphantly.
You'll see.
Its beautiful.
You'll see
Its beautiful.
Just be.
Its beautiful
Just be.
You'll see.
Its beautiful.
You'll see
Its beautiful.
Just be.
Its beautiful.
Just be.
Beautiful.
