Frozen Heart lyrics - Frozen Cast
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining
So cut through the heart, cold and clear
Strike for love and strike for fear
See the beauty, sharp and sheer
Split the ice apart!
And break the frozen heart
Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Beautiful!
Powerful!
Dangerous!
Cold!
Ice has a magic, can't be controlled
Stronger than one! Stronger than ten!
Stronger than a hundred men!
Hyup!
Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining!
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining!
Cut through the heart, cold and clear!
Strike for love and strike for fear!
There's beauty and there's danger here
Split the ice apart!
Beware the frozen heart...
Do You Want To Build A Snowman? lyrics - Kristen Bell, Agatha Lee Monn & Katie Lopez
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[5-Year-Old Anna:]
Elsa?
[Knocks]
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on, let's go and play!
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman...
[8-Year-Old Elsa:] Go away, Anna.
[5-Year-Old Anna:] Okay, bye...
[Musical interlude]
[Knocks]
[9-Year-Old Anna:]
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bike around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls!
(Hang in there, Joan.)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by...
(Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock)
[Musical interlude]
[Partly crying]
[Knocks]
[15-Year-Old Anna:]
Elsa, please I know you're in there
People are asking where you've been
They say, "Have courage, " and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you
Just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
For The First Time In Forever lyrics - Kristen Bell & Idina Menzel
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[Anna:]
The window is open, so's that door
I didn't know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
For years I've roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally, they're opening up the gates
There'll be actual, real, live people
It'll be totally strange
But wow, am I so ready for this change!
'Cause for the first time in forever
There'll be music, there'll be light
For the first time in forever
I'll be dancing through the night
Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
But I'm somewhere in that zone
'Cause for the first time in forever
I won't be alone
I can't wait to meet everyone! [*gasp*]
What if I meet... the one?
Tonight, imagine me gown and all
Fetchingly draped against the wall
The picture of sophisticated grace
I suddenly see him standing there
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face
But then we laugh and talk all evening
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've led so far
For the first time in forever
There'll be magic, there'll be fun
For the first time in forever
I could be noticed by someone
And I know it is totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance
But for the first time in forever
At least I've got a chance
[Elsa:]
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, put on a show
Make one wrong move and everyone will know
[Elsa:] But it's only for today
[Anna:] It's only for today
[Elsa:] It's agony to wait
[Anna:] It's agony to wait
[Elsa:] Tell the guards to open up the gate
[Anna:] The gate
[Anna:] For the first time in forever
[Elsa:] Don't let them in, don't let them see
[Anna:] I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
[Elsa:] Be the good girl you always have to be
[Anna:] A chance to change my lonely world
[Elsa:] Conceal
[Anna:] A chance to find true love
[Elsa:] Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
[Anna:]
I know it all ends tomorrow,
So it has to be today
'Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
Nothing's in my way!
Love Is An Open Door lyrics - Kristen Bell & Santino Fontana
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[Anna:] Okay, can I just, say something crazy?
[Hans:] I love crazy!
[Anna:] All my life has been a series of doors in my face
And then suddenly I bump into you
[Hans:]
I was thinking the same thing! 'Cause like
I've been searching my whole life to find my own place
And maybe it's the party talking or the chocolate fondue
[Anna:] [giggles]
[Anna:] But with you...
[Hans:] But with you
[Hans:] I found my place...
[Anna:] I see your face...
[Both:]
And it's nothing like I've ever known before!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
[Anna:] With you!
[Hans:] With you!
[Anna:] With you!
[Hans:] With you!
[Both:] Love is an open door...
[Hans:] I mean it's crazy...
[Anna:] What?
[Hans:] We finish each other's-
[Anna:] Sandwiches!
[Hans:] That's what I was gonna say!
[Anna:] I've never met someone-
[Both:]
Who thinks so much like me!
Jinx! Jinx again!
Our mental synchronization
Can have but one explanation
[Hans:] You-
[Anna:] And I-
[Hans:] Were-
[Anna:] Just-
[Both:] Meant to be!
[Anna:] Say goodbye...
[Hans:] Say goodbye...
[Both:]
To the pain of the past
We don't have to feel it anymore!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
Life can be so much more!
[Anna:] With you!
[Hans:] With you!
[Anna:] With you!
[Hans:] With you!
[Both:] Love is an open door...
[Hans:] Can I say something crazy?
[Anna:] [giggles]
[Hans:] Will you marry me?
[Anna:] Can I say something even crazier? Yes!
Let It Go lyrics - Idina Menzel
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway!
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back
The past is in the past!
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway!
Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People lyrics - Jonathan Groff
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[Kristoff:]
Reindeers are better than people
Sven, don't you think that's true?
[As Sven:]
Yeah, people will beat you and curse you and cheat you
Every one of them's bad except you
[Normal voice:]
Oh, thanks buddy
But people smell better than reindeers
Sven, don't you think I'm right?
[As Sven:]
That's once again true
For all except you
[Normal voice:]
You got me, let's call it a night
[As Sven:]
Good night
[Normal voice:]
Don't let the frost bite bite
In Summer lyrics - Josh Gad
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[Kristoff:]
Really?
I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.
[Olaf:]
Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes,
And imagine what it'd be like when summer does come. Ah.
Bees'll buzz, kids'll blow dandelion fuzz
And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer.
A drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand
Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer.
I'll finally see a summer breeze, blow away a winter storm.
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm!
And I can't wait to see, what my buddies all think of me.
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.
Dah dah, da doo, uh bah bah bah bah bah woo
The hot and the cold are both so intense,
Put 'em together it just makes sense!
Rrr Raht da daht dah dah dah dah dah doo
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle,
But put me in summer and I'll be a - happy snowman!
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream,
Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam.
Oh the sky will be blue, and you guys will be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer.
[Kristoff:]
I'm gonna tell him.
[Anna:]
Don't you dare!
[Olaf:]
In summer!
For The First Time In Forever (Reprise) lyrics - Kristen Bell & Idina Menzel
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[Anna:]
You don't have to protect me I'm not afraid
Please don't shut me out again,
Please don't slam the door
You don't have to keep your distance anymore
'Cause for the first time in forever
I finally understand
For the first time in forever
We can fix this hand in hand
We can head down this mountain together
You don't have to live in fear
'Cause for the first time in forever,
I will be right here
[Elsa:]
Anna,
Please go back home, your life awaits
Go enjoy the sun and open up the gates
[Anna:]
Yeah, but -
[Elsa:]
I know
You mean well, but leave me be
Yes, I'm alone, but I'm alone and free
Just stay away and you'll be safe from me
[Anna:]
Actually we're not
[Elsa:]
What do you mean you're not?
[Anna:]
I get the feeling you don't know
[Elsa:]
What do I not know?
[Anna:]
Arendelle's in deep, deep, deep, deep snow
[Elsa:]
What?
[Anna:]
You've kind of set off an eternal winter... everywhere
[Elsa:]
Everywhere?
[Anna:]
It's okay, you can just unfreeze it
[Elsa:]
No, I can't, I - I don't know how!
[Anna:]
Sure you can! I know you can!
'Cause for the first time in forever,
[Elsa:]
Oh I'm such a fool, I can't be free!
[Anna:]
You don't have to be afraid
[Elsa:]
No escape from the storm inside of me!
[Anna:]
We can work this out together
[Elsa:]
I can't control the curse!
[Anna:]
We'll reverse the storm you've made
[Elsa:]
Ohhhh, Anna, please, you'll only make it worse!
[Anna:]
Don't panic
[Elsa:]
There's so much fear!
[Anna:]
We'll make the sun shine bright
[Elsa:]
You're not safe here!
[Anna:]
We can face this thing together
[Elsa:]
Oh!
[Anna:]
We can change this winter weather
[Elsa:]
AHHHHH...
[Anna:]
And everything will be alright...
[Elsa:]
I CAN'T!
Fixer Upper lyrics - Maia Wilson & Frozen Cast
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[Bulda:]
What's the issue, dear?
Why are you holding back from such a man?
[Bulda & Trolls:]
Is it the clumpy way he walks?
Or the grumpy way he talks?
Or the pear-shaped, square-shaped
Weirdness of his feet?
And though we know he washes well
He always ends up sort of smelly
But you'll never meet a fellow who's as
Sensitive and sweet!
[Trolls:]
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
So he's got a few flaws
Like his peculiar brain dear
His thing with the reindeer
That's a little outside of nature's laws!
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
But this we're certain of
You can fix this fixer-upper
Up with a little bit of love!
[Kristoff:]
Can we please just stop talking about this?
We've got a real, actual problem here
[Bulda & Trolls:]
I'll say! So tell me, dear
Is it the way that he runs scared?
Or that he's socially impaired?
Or that he only likes to tinkle in the woods... what?!
Are you holding back your
Fondness due to his unmanly blondness?
Or the way he covers up
That he's the honest goods?
[Trolls:]
He's just a bit of a fixer-upper
He's got a couple of bugs
His isolation is confirmation
Of his desperation for human hugs
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
But we know what to do
The way to fix up this fixer-upper
Is to fix him up with you!
[Kristoff:]
Enough! She is engaged
To someone else, okay?!
[Trolls:]
So she's a bit of a fixer-upper
That's a minor thing
Her quote 'engagement' is a flex arrangement
And by the way I don't see no ring!
So she's a bit of a fixer-upper
Her brain's a bit betwixt
Get the fiancé out of the way and
The whole thing will be fixed
[Bulda:]
We're not sayin' you can change him
'Cause people don't really change
We're only saying that love's a force
That's powerful and strange
People make bad choices if they're mad
Or scared, or stressed
Throw a little love their way
(Throw a little love their way)
And you'll bring out their best
True love brings out their best!
[Trolls:]
Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper
That's what it's all about!
Father!
Sister!
Brother!
We need each other
To raise us up and round us out
Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper
But when push comes to shove
[Olaf:]
The only fixer-upper fixer
That can fix up a fixer-upper is
[Trolls:]
True! true!
True, true, true!
Love (True love)
Love, love, love, love, love
Love! (True love!)
True...
[Troll Priest:]
Do you, Anna, take Kristoff to be your troll-fully wedded husband?
[Anna:]
Wait, what!?
[Troll Priest:]
You're getting married!
[Trolls:]
Love!
Let It Go lyrics - Demi Lovato
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in, don't let them see,
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know.
Well, now they know.
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand and here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all.
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe.
I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve.
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand, and here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
Standing frozen
In the life I've chosen.
You won't find me.
The past is all behind me
Buried in the snow.
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand, and here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway, yeah, whoa
(Na na, na na, na na na na na) [x4]
Let it go yeah
Na, na.
Here I stand.
Let it go, let it go, oh
Let it go.
Do, Re & Mi (Theme Song) lyrics - Kristen Bell, Jackie Tohn & Luke Youngblood (feat. Do, Re & Mi Cast)
(from "Do, Re & Mi" soundtrack)
Do, re, mi, let's see
Do, re, mi, the music is inside of you
Do, re, mi, dance and make your body move
There's a melody at every step
A song at every turn
So come along and make music with us
Here in Beepbopsburg
I'm do, I'm re, hello, I'm mi
We're three birds of a feather
So come on everybody, join in this song
And now let's all sing together
Do, re, mi, the music is inside of you
Do, re, mi, dance and make your body move
There's a rhythm if you listen
A groove on every street
So come along and dance to the music
Bopping to the beat
Hold your wings out wide, pop 'em nice and high
And make sure to shake your feathers
So come on everybody, join in the song
And now let's all sing together
Do, re, mi, the music is inside of you
Do, re, mi, dance and make your body move
Break it down
Ah, ah, ah
Do, re, mi, the music is inside of you
Do, re, mi, dance and make your body move
Do, re, mi
Life's Too Short lyrics - Kristen Bell (with Idina Menzel)
(outtake from "Frozen" soundtrack)
[Anna:]
I came all this way today to give us a fresh start
And now you’re all like "Wow!", you're all like warming my heart
[Elsa:]
Well this is who I am, welcome to the real me
You have no idea how great it feels to be free
[Anna:]
We've been falling out for way too long, so let’s forget who’s right
[Elsa:]
And forget who’s wrong
[Both:]
Okay!
[Elsa:]
Why don’t you stay, there’s room for family in my court
[Both:]
Cause life’s too short!
[Anna:]
To always feel shut out and unloved by the sister I long to know
[Both:]
Life’s too short!
[Elsa:]
To never let you see who I am, the true queen of the ice and snow
[Anna:]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Both:]
I never understood, but now I do
Life’s too short to miss out on a sister like you
[Anna:]
So you’ll come back, then.
[Elsa:]
Back?
[Anna:]
To thaw the fjord. It’s frozen over, no one can get in or out?
[Elsa:]
Oh.
[Anna:]
Sooo...
[Elsa:]
What? I don’t believe you!
[Anna:]
I just assumed that you'd have to...
[Elsa:]
That I'd shove on the gloves, that’s how your story ends!
[Anna:]
It does! It's just like it was, except for we’ll be best friends
[Elsa:]
So that’s been your plan? To force me back in a cage!
[Anna:]
Whoa, whoa!
Don’t get upset let’s get back on the same page!
[Elsa:]
Gee, thanks for coming up to see the place
And showing off your mastery of tact and grace
Okay! Run down the hill and spill my secrets, make a full report!
Bye-bye!
[Anna:]
Wait!
[Elsa:]
Cause life’s too short!
[Anna:]
There it is!
The door you’d love to slam in my face!
You did well there, for a spell, but now you’re back in the same place
Kick me out if you want, but I’m the only one who
Is not one hundred percent convinced the prophecy’s you!
[Elsa:]
You can think whatever you want 'cause I don’t care
You’re a fool who married a stranger!
[Anna:]
That is so unfair!
[Both:]
I swear I’m through with taking your unshaking sisterly support!
HAH! Life’s too short!
[Anna:]
To let you treat the people down there just as coldly as you always treated me
[Elsa:]
La la lalala laaaa!
[Both:]
Life’s too short!
[Elsa:]
To listen to a reckless fool who only ever sees the things she wants to see!
[Anna:]
You don’t know...
[Elsa:]
You have no idea...
[Both:]
What I've been through!
Because of you
Life’s too short to waste another minute!
Life’s too short to even have you in it!
Life’s too short!
Ring In The Season lyrics - Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel & Josh Gad
(from "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" soundtrack)
[Anna:]
Look at everyone that'll realize
We planned a party as a big surprise
Soon the ballroom will echo with sounds of cheer
As we ring in the season this year
[Elsa & Olaf:]
This is overdue, gotta look our best
Ooh, I've never been so nicely dressed
We'll be hosting and toasting the whole night through
As we ring in the season with you
[Anna & Elsa:]
It's the first Christmas in forever
Since we opened up the gates
And it's the first Christmas I remember to date
And it's already worth the wait
Look at all the joy when it's everywhere
I feel the Christmas spirit in the air
And the party will start at the strike of noon
And we'll ring in the season so soon
And it's almost time to ring the bell
We'll hear it chime through Arendelle
It's finally here and it's happening fast
We'll make up for all we have missed in the past
It's time to celebrate as we ring in the season at last
Tell Me How Long lyrics - Kristen Bell
(from "Chasing Coral" soundtrack)
I was just born, I was just born
I've been crawling till I learn to walk
When I met you I was so young
I didn't know that it fall apart
Tell me what do I do
Now we see what we've done
And I know that its true
You give me nothing but love
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Do we see the pieces that'll break
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Tell me how long will it take
Till we wake up
Till we wake up
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Till we wake up
I been trying, I been trying
To tell you what's inside my soul
I've been dying, I've been dying
But the ocean changes slow
And its hard to see it
But I know that its true
Let it go to be better
So much better than you
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Do we see the pieces that'll break
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Tell me how long will it take
Till we wake up
Till we wake up
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Till we wake up
Oh, I know we're gonna wake up
I scream in color
Tell me can you hear me through the waves
If we keep on waiting
Do we lose the things that we can save
If we hold each other
We don't have to let this slip away
We don't have to let this slip away
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Do we see the pieces that'll break
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Tell me how long will it take
Till we wake up
Till we wake up
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Till we wake up
Oh, I know we're gonna wake up
That Time Of Year lyrics - Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel & Josh Gad
(from "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" soundtrack)
[Olaf:]
Happy, merry, holly jolly, season's greetings here
I'm wondering what your family does at that time of year
Love and joy and peace on Earth and tidings of good cheer
Do you have tradition things for that time of year?
[Anna, Olaf & (Citizens):]
Well, we hang a thousand evergreen on every single doorway
(Bake a giant cookie in the wavy shape of Norway
Go from door to door to door while singing with our choirs)
Hang up all your giant socks above an open fire
That sounds safe
So happy, merry, yuletide carol, faithful friends are dear
Thanks for sharing what you do at that time of year
We better get a move on if we're gonna hit every house in the kingdom
[Olaf:]
Jolly, merry, happy holly on a midnight clear
I'm here to ask you what you do at that time of year
Hi, shalom, happy solstice, fancy chandelier
I'm looking for tradition stuff for that time of year
[Olaf & Citizens:]
Well, we make our decorations out of flotsam and jetsam
Bake a yummy fruit cake and you can't leave 'til you get some
That went right through me
Buy each other presents and then hide them very nimbly
Wait up for a chubby man to shimmy down your chimney
Breaking and entering, okay on Christmas
Oh, happy merry muletide barrel, faithful glass of cheer
Thanks for sharing what you do at that time of year
Thank you
We knit scarves and sweaters and we wear our matching mittens
Don't forget the jammies that I knitted for my kittens
Eight nights in a row we light menorahs on our mantles
You cut down a tree and then you dress its corpse with candles
I love it!
[Olaf, (Anna & Elsa) & Citizens:]
Anna and Elsa, we have all that they need
I'll fill my sleigh here with the help of my steed
It'll be the best time of year (It's up to you)
Up to me, me, me
Oh, happy, merry, Mele Kaliki, holly jolly, happy tappy!
A chubby man will soon appear and faithful friends are tiny deer
And festive tidings midnight clear
Can I leave fruit cake here?
Of that time of year
When We're Together lyrics - Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad & Jonathan Groff
(from "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" soundtrack)
[Elsa:]
Sure, it's nice to open a gift that's tied up with a perfect bow
[Anna:]
But the great present of all was given to me long ago
[Elsa:]
It's something I would never trade, it's the family that we've made
[Anna:]
'Cause when we're together, I have everything on my list
[Elsa:]
And when we're together, I have all I wished
[Anna:]
All around the Christmas tree, there'll be dreams coming true
[Elsa:]
But when we're together, then my favorite gift is you
[Elsa & Anna:]
I would travel miles and miles and I would follow any star
I'd go almost any place if it's any place you are
[Elsa:]
'Cause when we're together
[Anna:]
When we're together
[Elsa:]
I'll forever feel at home
And when we're together
[Anna:]
When we're together
[Elsa & Anna:]
We'll be safe and warm
Doesn't matter where we are if you're there with me
[Elsa:]
'Cause when we're together, that's my favorite place
[Elsa & Anna:]
To be
'Cause when we're together
[Elsa:]
It's a holiday every night
And when we're together
[Elsa & Anna:]
Then the season's bright
[Elsa:]
I don't need the bells to ring
[Anna:]
I don't need the bells
[Elsa:]
I'll know when it's here
[Anna:]
I'll know when it's here
[Elsa:]
'Cause when we're together
[Elsa & Anna:]
I could stay forever
And when we're together
[Olaf:]
It's my favorite
[Elsa, Anna & Olaf:]
Time of year
More Than Just The Spare lyrics - Kristen Bell
[outtake from "Frozen" soundtrack]
Spare...? Am I really just the spare?
I'm not part of the town, not born to be queen
Just somebody hopelessly in-between
She's the scholar, athlete, poet
I'm the screw up, don't I know it
But then who could ever compare?
Of course they're gonna think I'm just the spare
Well, I won't care
So I'm the extra button on a coat
In case another one comes loose
But if I have to be a button
Why can't I be a button that's of use? (Oops!)
I may lack style and I may lack grace
And once in a while I fall on my face
But this little button deserves a place in the sky
This button wants to fly
Wait, buttons can't fly, it doesn't make any sense!
So I'm a rusty horseshoe hanging up
Over somebody's old barn door
And I'll be hanging there forever
Just wishing the horse had one leg more
And maybe I can't be the perfect one
And maybe I err on the side of fun
But horseshoes need a chance to run somewhere
This horseshoe is more than just a spare
Someday I'll find my thing
A thing that's all my own
That thing that makes me part of something
Not just all alone
If only all this feeling I have in my heart
Could mean something to someone, how I'd love to play that part
So I'm just the second-born sister
Who most of the town ignores
Like a button, like a horseshoe
Like a girl who's bad at metaphors
Maybe I don't have a magic touch
And maybe I don't have a talent as such
Just this heart with much too much to share
So I'll never be the heir
But I'm more than just the spare (Sorry!)
Spare...? Am I really just the spare?
I'm not part of the town, not born to be queen
Just somebody hopelessly in-between
She's the scholar, athlete, poet
I'm the screw up, don't I know it
But then who could ever compare?
Of course they're gonna think I'm just the spare
Well, I won't care
So I'm the extra button on a coat
In case another one comes loose
But if I have to be a button
Why can't I be a button that's of use? (Oops!)
I may lack style and I may lack grace
And once in a while I fall on my face
But this little button deserves a place in the sky
This button wants to fly
Wait, buttons can't fly, it doesn't make any sense!
