Ready to Try Lyrics by Stodolak & Kerr

Chris, Mrs. - A New Holiday Musical

2024

[HOLLY]
When I was small I thought that all adults had handbooks that would tell them all they needed to know
A recipe for birthday cakes
A remedy when your heart breaks
A guide to help avoid mistakes
Then I got old and no one told me what a dumpster fire growing up would turn out to be
My cakes are always semi-stale
My breakups hit the Richter scale
I majored in mistakes at Yale
I never check the directory
I’m often losing my way
But I’ve got a forward trajectory
No time for yеsterday
A clean slate
A clеar plate
No more running when times get tough
A fresh start
Open heart
And a chance to prove you are enough
Face your fear and choose to claim it
See the picture then re-frame it
No longer just standing by
I’m ready to try
While all my peers have used their years to be productive with their reproductive feats on display
I’ve got a cookbook just for chicken wings
A violin with broken strings
And five golden rings
But every mistake is a lesson learned
A chance to start over new
This seasoned traveler has now returned
I know what I have to do
Embrace
This old place
Coming home is not a defeat
Be strong
You belong
Though reception might feel bittersweet
Take a breath and count to ten
Pick yourself back up again
Kiss apprehension goodbye
I’m ready to try
[CHARLIE, spoken]
Nicky, come on. We're booked solid and short-staffed as it is. No, I understand. You too
[HOLLY, spoken]
Hey, stranger
[CHARLIE, spoken]
Where were you this time?
[HOLLY, spoken]
Seattle
[CHARLIE, spoken]
And how is the Emerald City?
[HOLLY, spoken]
It was...
[CHARLIE, spoken]
Was?
[HOLLY, spoken]
There's no place like home
[CHARLIE, spoken]
So things didn't work out with hunky Hat Historian?
[HOLLY, spoken]
Turns out, he wasn't very cap-tivating
[CHARLIE, spoken]
Wow. How'd he take the news? … You didn't letter and leave, did you?
[HOLLY, spoken]
My fear of conflict is crippling
[CHARLIE, spoken]
No kidding
[HOLLY, spoken]
But I'm back now. For good!
[CHARLIE, spoken]
We'll see
[HOLLY, spoken]
Where's your holiday spirit?!
[CHARLIE]
That cute smirk
It won’t work
It's the same thing every year
You say
You will stay
Then you turn around and disappear
[HOLLY & CHARLIE]
Take a chance, you won't be sorry I don’t believe it
Help me write a different story I can’t conceive it
Time to simply You'll never
To clip my wings and leave the sky Clip your wings and leave the sky
[HOLLY]
I’m ready
I’m ready
To try
