Karen:
I'm high above the city
I'm standing on the ledge
The view from here is pretty
And I step off the edge
Jimmy:
And now I'm falling, baby, through the sky, through the sky
I'm falling, baby, through the sky
It's my calling, baby, don't you cry, don't you cry
I'm falling down through the sky
Karen and Jimmy:
Toward the street that I'm from
Oh, Broadway, here I come
Broadway, here I come
Ana:
The pressure it increases
The closer that I get
Sam:
I could almost go to pieces
But I'm not quite there yet
Karen and Jimmy:
See I've been braving crazy weather
Drowning out my cries
I pull myself together
I'm focused on the prize
Karen with Hit List cast:
I'm falling, baby, through the sky, through the sky
I'm falling, baby, through the sky
It's my calling, baby, don't you cry, don't you cry
I'm falling down through the sky
It's a tune you can hum
Oh, Broadway here I come
Karen:
Mmmmm....
Karen with Hit List cast:
Will I remain the same or will I change a little bit?
Will I feel broken or totally complete?
Will I retain my name when I'm the biggest, hugest hit?
Karen and Jimmy:
Or will I blend in with the rest of the street?
Karen:
The people all are pointing
Jimmy:
I bet they'd never guess
Ana:
That the saint that they're anointing
Sam:
Is frightened of the mess
Karen and Jimmy:
But even though I fear it
I'm playing all my cards
Karen:
Baby, you are gonna hear it
When I give them my regards
Karen with Hit List cast:
I'm falling, baby, through the sky, through the sky
I'm falling, baby, through the sky
It's my calling, baby, don't you cry, don't you cry
I'm falling down through the sky
And I refuse to go numb
Oh, Broadway, here I come
Karen and Jimmy:
Broadway, here I come
Ana:
Broadway, here I come
Karen:
Broadway, here I come
Broadway, here I come!
