The Greatest Showman (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2017

[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
[P.T. BARNUM]
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for
[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
[P.T. BARNUM]
Been searchin' in the dark, your sweat soakin' through the floor
[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
[P.T. BARNUM]
And buried in your bones, there's an ache that you can't ignore
Takin' your breath, stealin' your mind
And all that was real is left behind
Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it gettin' closer?
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feelin' takin' over
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh
[P.T. BARNUM]
It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh
[P.T. BARNUM]
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh
[P.T. BARNUM]
There's somethin' breakin' at the brick of every wall that's holdin'
[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
All that you know (Oh), so tell me, do you wanna go?
[P.T. BARNUM]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, this is the greatest show
[P.T. BARNUM]
We light it up, we won't come down
[ENSEMBLE]
And the sun can't stop us now
[P.T. BARNUM]
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, this is the greatest show
[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
[P.T. BARNUM]
Colossal we come, these renegades in the ring
[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
[P.T. BARNUM]
Where the lost get found and we crown 'em the circus kings
[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya (Don't fight it, it's comin')
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after (It's only this moment)
It's blindin', outshinin' anything that you know (Shinin', shinin')
Just surrender 'cause you're comin' and you
[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
Wanna go
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
[ENSEMBLE]
Impossible comes true
[P.T. BARNUM]
Intoxicatin' you
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, this is the greatest show
[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
We light it up, we won't come down
[ENSEMBLE]
And the sun can't stop us now
[P.T. BARNUM]
Watchin' it come true
[ENSEMBLE]
It's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show (Hey, hey)
[P.T. BARNUM & ENSEMBLE]
It's everything you ever want (Hey, hey)
It's everything you ever need (Hey, hey)
And it's here right in front of you (This is where you wanna be)
This is where you wanna be (Hey, hey)
It's everything you ever want (Hey, hey)
It's everything you ever need (Hey, hey)
And it's here right in front of you (This is what you want)
This is where you wanna be (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
[LETTIE LUTZ]
This is where you wanna be
[ENSEMBLE & LETTIE LUTZ]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night (Oh, oh, yeah)
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you (Hee)
Oh
[LETTIE LUTZ & ENSEMBLE]
This is the greatest show
[ENSEMBLE]
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
[PHILLIP CARLYLE]
This is the greatest show
[ENSEMBLE]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ENSEMBLE]
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]
Impossible comes true (Impossible)
[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]
It's takin' over you
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh
[PHILLIP CARLYLE, ANNE WHEELER & ENSEMBLE]
This is the greatest show
[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ENSEMBLE]
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now
[PHILLIP CARLYLE, ANNE WHEELER & ENSEMBLE]
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, this is the greatest show
[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER, ENSEMBLE]
'Cause everything you want is right in front of you (Oh, this is the greatest show)
And you see the impossible is comin' true (Oh, yeah)
And the walls can't stop us now, yeah (Oh, this is the greatest show)
(Oh, this is the greatest show)
[ALL]
Oh, this is the greatest show
Oh, this is the greatest show
Oh, this is the greatest show
Oh, this is the greatest show (Oh, this is)
Oh, this is the greatest show (This is)
Oh, this is the greatest show (The greatest show)
Oh, this is the greatest show (This is the greatest)
Oh, this is the greatest show
