Recently, Sarah Schaetzel put out an article with lyrics from today's hits that are great for Instagram captions. I admittedly love to put lyrics in my captions, especially when I have a great selfie but don't really have anything to say. I love a lot of the lyrics in Sarah's article, but a thought occurred to me. There was no equivalent for musical theater. I am constantly listening to musical soundtracks and you'll find at least one musical song in each of my playlists. So here's some musical lyrics for your Instagram captions.

"Let's live before we die."

"Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor."
"No one is alone."
