Challenge, Day 2: “The Greatest Show”
Individuality was the theme of the first day of our challenge with “This is Me.” Empowerment, aka the power we have to improve our lives, is the theme of the second day, with the opening song of the movie: “The Greatest Show.” This is a song that inspires passion and courage of our actions. Exactly what we need to grow and work on ourselves.
The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of the show business and tells a story of a visionary who has managed – not without difficulties and sidetrack – from nothing to create a show that has become a success.
In this song, P.T. Barnum, the protagonist of the story, encourages us to discover new aspects of everyday life and to use our imagination. Imagination has the ability to transform something ordinary into something surprising and extraordinary. We must never forget it.
Before leaving the stage to his words, I would just like to underline why this song is on the list.
“To encourage us all to discover new aspects of everyday life and to remind us to always use our most powerful tool: our imagination.”
Our life is our biggest show and as the song says:
“Because everything you want is right in front of you. And you see the impossible that becomes reality. And the walls can not stop us (now) now, yeah “
So let’s use the music to the fullest:
- “This is Me” as a starting point of our personal growth
- “This is the Greatest Show” to in our journey all your passion and courage
Have a good day!
The Greatest Show
Zac Efron, Zendaya, …
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah,
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for (woah). Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor (woah). And buried in your bones there’s an ache that you can’t ignore. Taking your breath, stealing your mind. And all that was real is left behind.
Don’t fight it, it’s coming for you, running at ya. It’s only this moment, don’t care what comes after. Your fever dream, can’t you see it getting closer. Just surrender ’cause you feel the feeling taking over.
It’s fire, it’s freedom, it’s flooding open. It’s a preacher in the pulpit and you’ll find devotion. There’s something breaking at the brick of every wall, it’s holding. All that you know. So tell me do you wanna go?
Where it’s covered in all the colored lights. Where the runaways are running the night. Impossible comes true, it’s taking over you. Oh, this is the greatest show. We light it up, we won’t come down. And the sun can’t stop us now. Watching it come true, it’s taking over you. Oh, this is the greatest show. Colossal we come these renegades in the ring (Woah) where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king.
Don’t fight it, it’s coming for you, running at ya. It’s only this moment, don’t care what comes after. It’s blinding, outshining anything that you know. Just surrender ’cause you’re calling and you wanna go.
Where it’s covered in all the colored lights. Where the runaways are running the night. Impossible comes true, intoxicating you. Oh, this is the greatest show. We light it up, we won’t come down. And the sun can’t stop us now. Watching it come true, it’s taking over you. Oh, this is the greatest show.
It’s everything you ever want. It’s everything you ever need. And it’s here right in front of you. This is where you wanna be (this is where you wanna be). It’s everything you ever want. It’s everything you ever need. And it’s here right in front of you. This is where you wanna be. This is where you wanna be.
When it’s covered in all the colored lights. Where the runaways are running the night. Impossible comes true, it’s taking over you. Oh, this is the greatest show. We light it up, we won’t come down. And the sun can’t stop us now. Watching it come true, it’s taking over you. This is the greatest show. When it’s covered in all the colored lights.
Where the runaways are running the night. Impossible comes true, it’s taking over you. Oh, this is the greatest show. We light it up, we won’t come down. And the walls can’t stop us now. I’m watching it come true, it’s taking over you. Oh, this is the greatest show
‘Cause everything you want is right in front of you. And you see the impossible is coming true. And the walls can’t stop us (now) now, yeah. 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 the greatest show (Oh!). This is the greatest show (oh!). (This is the greatest show). This is the greatest show (oh!). This is the greatest show!
