Footloose (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[REN, spoken]
That's IT! We're gonna throw a dance! We're gonna throw a party that knocks Bomont right off its tractor!
[KID #1, spoken]
You're just asking for a fight
[REN, spoken]
Bring it on!
[KID #2, spoken]
Are you ready to take on Reverend Moore?
[REN, spoken]
I'll take on anybody!
[WILLARD, spoken]
What about the Town Council?
[REN]
(spoken)
I'll fight City Hall! If there's anything worth fighting for, it's freedom
(sung)
Looking into your eyes I know I'm right
If there's anything worth a fear, it's worth a fight
No one can tie my hands
Or make me change my plans
I'm crossin' the line, jumpin' the track
Takin' what's mine and not lookin' back
Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Every day I face a new frontier
I can't worry what the world will say
I may fly or fall but either way
I'm free!
Running away will never set you free
Doesn't matter where you go, I guarantee
Long as we hold our ground
We cannot be bound
We're shakin' the past, makin' our breaks
Takin' control if that's what it takes
Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
We can face it down right now, right here
Once you're standing on your own two feet
You will not retreat if you repeat:
I'm free!
(spoken)
C'mon! Try it!
[KIDS]
I'm free
[REN, spoken]
"Let the Lord hear your voice!"
[KIDS]
I'm free!
[REN]
Yeah!
[KIDS]
We're shakin' the past, makin' our breaks
Takin' control if that's what it takes
I'm free!
[REN & KIDS]
Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
We can face it down right now, right here
Maybe we can fin'lly right this wrong
Arm in arm and side by side we're strong
And free!
[SHAW, spoken]
And now word comes to me that some young people in our community want to change our law and throw a dance. This morning let's remind ourselves that this law is not about dancing. This law is a tribute - a tribute to four young people who held the promise of Bomont's brightest future...
[KIDS]
Heaven helps the man
[SHAW, spoken]
...and we stand united in honoring their memory
[KIDS]
We can face it down
[SHAW, KIDS, (REN), CHOIR]
Heaven help You will
Me! See us
Someone's got Right now Raising our
To Voices
Save his Right here All of our
Neighbors Voices
Heaven help me!
Making our breaks
Oh, heaven help me!
For heaven sakes For heaven sakes
If heaven can't
Who We will be
Can? Heaven helps the Released
Man (Heaven helps the man)
Heaven helps the
Who Man (Heaven helps the)
Can? Heaven helps the man (Man)
[REN, KIDS & CHOIR]
I'm free!
