WILL
[sung]
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
Ever since I was a little girl
I saw monsters in the dark
so my grandpa taught me how
to lighten my fears with a spark
Now my wild imagination is stuck in overdrive
I work constantly to illuminate
and still can’t shake this feeling that
these shadows are alive
SHADOWS ENTER.
SHADOWS
(echo)
Shadows are alive
WILL & SHADOWS
(sung)
Gotta get the lights on, Gotta get the lights on
Gotta get the lights on, Gotta get the lights on
WILL
[sung]
The darkness creeps in so easily
so I force it out with electricity
Connect the wire, Flip the Switch
Chase away the darkness haunting me
Living without Mom and Dad
This is not what we had planned
Just need to build another lamp
SHADOWS
[echo]
Build another lamp
and another, and another, and another.
WILL & SHADOWS
(Sung - Chorus)
Gotta keep the lights on, Gotta keep the lights on
Gotta keep the lights on, Gotta keep the lights on
WILL
[Sung]
Lights ON, Lights ON
Let it shine, Keep it Shining
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little lamp of mine, I gotta get it wired

Wanna feel the sun shining on my skin
ready for my life, life to begin
not stuck on some screen social networking
no tweeting and no texting

Waving hi as I ride by
hugging hello and goodbye
Mail sent in an envelope
Outside on the move
on my bike through downtown
checking out library books

Good morning, sleepy head!
Wow, this sure is a lot of college brochures yah got here.

Less music...more story!
And I’m taking the helm for a sec.

You may recognize me from the ‘gram…
or perhaps my popular jewelry line
that’s available now on Etsy. (wink)
And also, I’m Noel’s little sister.
REESE
Him you probably don’t know
because he’s usually here
playing video games
or experimenting in the kitchen…
or pining after Autumn.

Nothing can bring us down
Hurricane Whitney you better hear me
‘Cause I can
AVA + CHORUS

just forget the rest I don’t need a plan
You can take the lights
we can dance all night just understand
AVA

You can scream you can shout
We’ll just wait you out
You won’t bring this Songbird down.
I won’t stay down
‘Cause I’ll be wingin it, wingin it

Remember Will you’re not alone out here
You’re surrounded by friends
Imagination has controlled my life
It’s time for this to end
Fireflies don’t question their own spark
If they can shine in the dark

You’re so brave and so strong
You don’t have to question your own spark
You’re already a star
And you shine

Oh-oh Blue, I'm so Blue, I’m all kinds of Blue

Gotta fit in, hide all my differences

Try to disguise all the sadness I have inside
Nothing I do makes me Blonde & Blue.
Oh Blue, I’m so Blue, all kinds of blue.
Oh Blue, I’m so Blue, all kinds of blue.

The really blue cheese blues,
The blueberry jam blues.
I wish you knew that Bluu-e Crush

I need a recipe to help me
to show you how I feel.
Cuz you are the recipe for me
could this be, real love?
I want to make her understand how I feel.
AUTUMN

I wish that there was such a thing as real love.
NOEL EXITS.
AUTUMN

Don't want to pretend .
Cut all these puppet strings!
Just have to be the real me.
Why’s it so hard – who am I kidding–
Just have to be the real me.
Oh-oh blue, My eyes aren't blue.
They were never blue.
Time to be -- True Blue -- to me.
AUTUMN removes her Blue Contacts, flicks them away. Puts her glasses back on.
