## Lyrics

[Intro: Ensemble]

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

[Verse 1: Hugh Jackman]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Hugh Jackman]

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 I'll let you now, so tell me do you wanna go?

[Chorus: Ensemble & *Hugh Jackman*]

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

[Verse 2: Hugh Jackman]

(Woah) Colossal we come these renegades in the ring

(Woah) Where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king

[Pre-Chorus: Ensemble & Hugh Jackman]

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 outside and I think that you know

Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go

[Chorus: Ensemble & *Hugh Jackman*]

(Hey!)

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

[Post-Chorus: Hugh Jackman & Keala Settle]

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

[Chorus: Ensemble, Huge Jackman, *Keala Settle,* Zac Efron & Zendaya]

(Hey!)

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

Oh,**This is the greatest show**
(Hey!)

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

[Bridge: Zac Efron & Zendaya]

'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

[Outro]

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!
