Musical Sister Act I

The Life I Never Led

 

Mary Robert, 

 

Mary Robert: Ever since you came here, everything's changed! I've changed!

You showed me so many things I never thought I could do,

never thought I could be- never even thought

 

I've never talked back. I've never slept late
I've never sat down when told to stand straight
I've never let go and gone with the flow,
And don't even know, really, why

 

I've never asked questions or taken a dare
I've never worn clothes
That might make people stare
I've never rebelled, or stood up and yelled,
Or even just held my head high

 

And all of the feelings unspoken
All of the truths unsaid,
They're all I have left of the life I never led

 

Deloris: Yeah, life's one big ol' to-do list, ain't it? Toss me that coat, please

I've never gone surfing or ran with a crowd,
Or danced on a table, or laughed much too loud
I've never quite dared to leave myself bared

I've just been too scared I might fall

 

I've never seen Paris, swum naked, been kissed
I've never quite realised just how much I've missed
And what did I get for hedging each bet?
Another regret, and that's all

 

And all of the wishes unasked for,
All of needs unfed,
They're all that remain of the life I never led
And now,
Now that you've given me one little taste of it,
And now,
Now that I know what I know,
Well how,
How can I go on ignoring the waste of it?

 

After all of the years that I've clung to my fears,
Won't you help me let go?
Help me let go!

 

Deloris: Girlfriend, if you wanna skinny-dip and skateboard and all that, you got my blessing

But right now I got a life to live too, and i gotta make sure no one stops me from doin' it

I can't help you right now I gotta think of me. Wait

Here, if you're ever stuck, just click 'em three times

I saw it in a movie once. I think it worked

 

Mary Robert: Thank you. And I hope this works for you

 

Deloris: Thanks

 

I want to be brave. I want to be strong
I want to believe I'm where I belong
To stand up and say I'm seizing the day,
To not just obey, but to choose

 

And I may not surf, I may not see France
But I have to know I still have the chance
And maybe I'll make a painful mistake
It's mine, though, to take or refuse

 

And all of the doors yet to open,
All of the rooms ahead,
They're beckoning bright, scary and new,
But I'm standing tall, and I'm walking through
What's gone may be gone,
But I won't go on playing dead!

 

It's time to start living
The life I never led!
