Karaoké The Life I Never Led Sister Act (musical)

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

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 the 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

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 want 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 beaconing 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
