5 Musical Theater Lyrics To Get You Through The Day

I'm always listening to music. Usually I'm listening to ShowTunes or Alternative music, I just love the stories they tell. Here's a List of lyrics from Musicals and their origins that inspire me to get up in the morning and kick ass.

"You always are, what you always were". Company, Stephen Sondheim.

Company is a show I've been newly introduced to because my school is doing it, but this is a lyric I'm going to go back to when I start finding myself slipping away from my true self. This song is about a marriage and how your partner influences you, but I like to use it for my reasons too. (I realize this picture is from a different scene, but you catch my drift @FDUTheater

"Can we buck up just enough to see the world won't fall apart?" Dear Evan Hansen, Pasek and Paul, Steven Levenson.

This show has BLOWN up in the past year, and rightfully so. It's a pick me up like no other. Soemtimes we need to hear something like this, with all of the tragedy we are constantly hearing about in the world. Just a reminder that we are strong human beings can really take you far.

"Just look around at the world we're inheriting and think of the one we'll create", Newsies, Alan Menkin.


"And if it turns out, it's over too fast- I'll make every last moment last, as long as you're mine." Wicked, Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman.

Life is short, make every moment count. This might be a forbidden love song, but I love it an can apply it to almost anything.

"But all my days were twice as fair if I could share my days with you." Pippin, Stephen Schwartz and Roger O. Hirson.

Yet again, another love song. But, my family is really important to me and I always think of this song in the context of my family, especially my little sister. I always have a great day with her, even if it's just us sitting watching a TV show.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
