Ooh ooh

Once I was afraid, but then you came along
Put your faith in me and I was challenged to be strong
When I lost my way, you were there to see me through
Now let Lola lend some love and do the same for you!

Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you,
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand

If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up
(And up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up

Never put much heart in anything before
You strut into my life and help me go for something more
Now I stand up for myself
Now I stand out from the crowd
Now I'm standing on high heels, if dad could see me now!

Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand

If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up
(And up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up

I knew you had it in you
I knew what you could tell
You believed in me
Let me be right for you
Your stumbling days are done
Now we're walking on air
I was a loose shoe but you need two to make a pair
Wait wait wait wait hold it right there buster
Are you saying you'd like to take me out?
Yes
Are you saying you are Nikola are through?
Yes
Are you saying you are actually available?
Yes
And you still like girls?
Yes!
Oh carry on!

Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand

Look out below
Here comes Don
And Don has brought some friends along
When you start things out of certainty
Then the ones you love
Are gonna set you free yeah!
Woo!

Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you,
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand

If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up

If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up

Just be
Raise you up
Raise you up

We're the same
Charlie Boy
You and me

Just be
Who you wanna be
Never let 'em tell you who you ought to be
Just be
With dignity
Celebrate yourself triumphantly
You'll see
You'll see
Just be
Just be

Ladies, gentlemen
And those who have yet to make up their minds
As people all over the world clamor for kinky boots
It's time for us to get back to work, but before we go
We would like to leave you with the Brice and Simon secret to success
Alright, now we've all heard of the twelve step program, have we not?
Yes, but what you can do in twelve
I want you to know that we all can do in six now
And it goes like this

One, pursue the truth (come one, come on)
Two, learn something new
Three, accept yourself and you'll accept others too!
Four, let love shine
Five, let pride be your guide
Six, you change the world when you change your mind!

Just be
Who you wanna be
Never let them tell you who you oughta be
Just be
With dignity
Celebrate your life triumphantly

You'll see (it's beautiful)
You'll see (it's beautiful)
Just be (it's beautiful)
Just be

You'll see (it's beautiful)
You'll see (it's beautiful)
Just be (it's beautiful)
Just be beautiful
