Mamma Mia! Soundtrack Lyrics






Mamma Mia Cast - Overture/Prologue

ROSIE:
If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing

BILL:
We can go walking

ROSIE:
As long as we're together
Listen to some music

BILL:
Maybe just talking

ROSIE:
You'd get to know you better
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there

BILL:
Afraid of a love affair

ROSIE:
But I think you know
That I want you so!

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me

ROSIE & BILL:
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

ROSIE:
Take a chance on me

BILL:
Come on, give me a break will you?

ROSIE:
Take a chance on me:

Oh, you can take your time, baby
I'm in no hurry
Know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me

BILL:
Baby, don't worry

ROSIE:
I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
Our love is strong enough
To last when things get rough
It's magic

ROSIE & BILL:
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
And I think you know
That I want you so

Mamma Mia Cast - Honey, Honey

DONNA
Honey honey, how he thrills me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I've heard about him before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, he's a love machine
Oh, he makes me dizzy

Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey
The way that you kiss good night

ALI / LISA
Way that you kiss me goodnight

SOPHIE
The way that you hold me tight

ALI / LISA
Way that you're holding me tight

SOPHIE
I feel like I wanna sing

SOPHIE / ALI / LISA
When you do your thing

SOPHIE
I want my Dad to give me away at
My wedding, but according to
Mum's diary I've got three possible
Dads: Sam, Bill or Harry.

ALI
Sophie!!!

LISA
Do they know?

SOPHIE
What do you write to a total
Starnger?
"Come to my wedding - you might
Be my Dad"?
No, they think mum sent the
Invitations - and after reading this
Diary I'm not surprised they all said
Yes!

SOPHIE / LISA / ALI
Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey

SOPHIE
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I'm about to see
What you mean to me

Jenny Galloway - Money, Money, Money

DONNA
I work all night, I work all day
To pay the bills I have to pay

COMPANY
Ain't it sad?

DONNA
And still there never seems to be
A single penny left for me

COMPANY
That's too bad

DONNA
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball

COMPANY
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man's world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world

TANYA
A man like that is hard to find

DONNA
But I can't get him off my mind

ALL
Ain't it sad?

ROSIE
And if he happens to be free
I bet he wouldn't fancy me

ALL
That's too bad

PEPPER
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game
My life would never be the same

COMPANY
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man's world

DONNA
All the things I could do

COMPANY
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny

Paul Clarkson - Thank You for the Music

HARRY
Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
They're bringing
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be

HARRY / SOPHIE
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

SOPHIE
Mother says I was
A dancer before I could walk
She says I began
To sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered
How did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
Can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well who ever it was, I'm a fan

SOPHIE / HARRY
So I say
Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
They're bringing
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

SOPHIE
I've been so lucky
I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy
What a life
What a chance

SOPHIE / HARRY / BILL
Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
They're bringing
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we?

SOPHIE / HARRY / BILL / SAM
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music

SOPHIE
For giving it to me

Siobhan McCarthy - Mamma Mia

DONNA
I was cheated by you
And I think you know when.
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My My, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been broken-hearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not have let you go

I was angry and sad when I knew we were through
I can't count all the times I have cried over you

Look at me now
Will I ever learn
I don't know how
But I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not have let you go

DONNA
What the hell are you all doing here?
Well I'd love to stop and chat, but I
Have to go and clean out my
Handbag or something

BILL
Age does not wither her.

HARRY
I was expecting a rather shout
Matron

SAM
No she's still Donna.

DONNA / SAM / BILL / HARRY
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not have let you go

Jenny Galloway - Chiquitita

ROSIE
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

TANYA
I have never seen such sorrow

ROSIE & TANYA
In your eyes
And the wedding is tomorrow

TANYA
How I hate to see you like this

ROSIE
There is no way you can deny it

TANYA
I can see
That you're oh so sad, so quiet

ROSIE & TANYA
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend
I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see
You've broken a feather
I hope
We can patch it up together

Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita

DONNA
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita

Jenny Galloway - Dancing Queen

ROSIE & TANYA
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king

TANYA
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

DONNA / TANYA / ROSIE
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen

DONNA
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

DONNA / TANYA / ROSIE
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
See that girl
Watch that scene

Andrew Langtree - Lay All Your Love on Me

SKY
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every man that I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you

SOPHIE
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear

SKY
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

BOYS
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

SOPHIE
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce

SKY
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

SOPHIE
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?

SKY / PEPPER / EDDIE / BOYS
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

GIRLS
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Jenny Galloway - Super Trouper

Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
(Wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
(Glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly I feel all right
(And suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
(Still I'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
(Think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(You'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do

Mamma Mia Cast - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayers

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Nicolas Colicos - Name of the Game

SOPHIE
I've seen you twice
In a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me
For every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

Your smile and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no chioce
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
What's the name of the game

BILL
I'll talk to your mother tonight

SOPHIE
Does it mean anything to you?

BILL
Gotta trust me, I'm doing what's right
And it means a lot

SOPHIE
What's the name of the game?

BILL
Your smile and the sound of your voice

SOPHIE
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a curious child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
The name of the game

BILL
I'll talk to your mother today

SOPHIE
Does it mean anything to you?

BILL
Just give me an hour
And it means a lot

SOPHIE
What's the name of the game?
Do you feel the way I do?
I wanna know
Oh yes, I wanna know
What's the name of the game?

Lisa Stokke - Under Attack

Don't know how to take it
Don't know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter
And it troubles me so

NIGHTMARE CHORUS:
You know that I'm nobody's fool

SOPHIE
I'm nobody's fool and
Yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby
And I think I must be

I'm being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart?
Come and rescue me now
'Cause I'm falling apart

Under attack
I'm taking cover
They're on my track, three Dads,
One lover
Thinking nothing can stop them now
Should I want to
I'm not sure I would know how

SOPHIE:
This is getting crazy
I should tell them so
Really let my anger show
I feel like I am trapped within a
Nightmare
I've got nowhere to go.

NIGHTMARE CHORUS:
Still undecided I suppose

SOPHIE:
Yes, it's what I wanted
But I'm scared as hell
Staring down the deepest well
I hardly dare to think of what would happen
Where I'd be if I fell

SOPHIE & NIGHTMARE CHORUS:
Under attack
I'm being taken
About to crack
Defenses breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart?
Come and rescue me now

They're on my track, three dads,
One lover
Thinking nothing can stop them now

Siobhan McCarthy - One of Us

DONNA:
They passed me by
All of those great romances
Because of your
Robbing me
Of my rightful chances
My picture clear
Everything seemed so easy
But the you dealt me the blow
One of us had to go
How you hurt me
I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself
Feeling stupid
Feeling small
Wishing you had
Never left at all
Never left at all

SAM:
Donna. What's the rush?

DONNA:
The wedding.

SAM:
Oh yeah, about this wedding, why
Didn't you tell me it was Sophie
Getting married.

DONNA:
That is absolutely none of your
Business.

SAM:
And what's this Sky guy like? Is he
Good enough for her?

DONNA:
And that is none of your business
Either.

SAM:
Alright, be a bloody martyr, listen,
I've got kids, I know it's hard for
You doing it on your own.

DONNA:
Don't bloody patronise me. I love
Doing it on my own - every morning.
I wake up and thank Christ I
Haven't got some middle-aged,
Menopausal man to bother me - I'm
Free, I'm single and it's great!

Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good

So when you're near me
Darling can't you hear me?

Nothing else can save me
S.O.S
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?

You seem so far away
Though you are standing near
You made me feel alive
But something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love
It used to be so good

So when you're near me
Darling can't you hear me

Louise Plowright - Does Your Mother Know

You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a kid like you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but boy you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down boy
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But boy you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it boy
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Hilton McRae - Knowing Me, Knowing You

SAM:
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
This is how the story ends
This is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be with me always
In those old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Paul Clarkson - Our Last Summer

I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh, yes
Those crazy years
That was the time of the flower-power
But underneath
We had a fear of flying
Of growing old
A fear of slowly dying
We took our chance
Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all

In the tourist jam

Round the Notre Dame

Our last summer
Walking hand in hand

Paris restaurants

Our last summer

Morning croissants

Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play

And now you're working in a bank
The family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet, you were the hero of my dreams

I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain

Siobhan McCarthy - Slipping Through My Fingers

DONNA:
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
With a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

DONNA & SOPHIE:
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers -

DONNA:
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Siobhan McCarthy - Winner Takes It All

DONNA:
I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
'Cause it makes me feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see

The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

The game is on agein
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

As long as we're together
Listen to some music

'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there

Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

ROSIE:
Take a chance on me:

Oh, you can take your time, baby
I'm in no hurry
Know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me

BILL:
Baby, don't worry

ROSIE:
I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
Our love is strong enough
To last when things get rough
It's magic

ROSIE & BILL:
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
And I think you know

Lisa Stokke - I Have a Dream

SOPHIE:
I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

COMPANY:
I have a dream
A fantasy
To help me through
Reality
And my destination
Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness
Still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream

SOPHIE:
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
