(Enjoy!)

—The Chosen One—
—Part One—

(Arianna)-
'I've never seen a place,
that's quite like this!...
Everything is turned around...
This crazy world is upside-down...
Getting on my feet...
It's the hand that I was dealt; but,
I don't have much time with them!
Got to learn all that I can!...

They don't use any magic,
or fly with any wings!...
I don't get these funny clothes,
skinny legs or tiny nose!...
Everything's confusing
when it seems so new;
But I look a little closer,
and it starts to feel familiar too!...

What a strange new world,
(what a strange new world!)
I'm trying to make heads or tails of,
This strange new world!...
(what a strange new world!)
Sorting through the small details of, this strange new world!...
What a strange new world!...'

(Still Arianna):
The window is open,
so's that door!
I didn't know they
did that anymore!
Who knew we owned eight,
thousand salad plates?
For years I've roamed
these empty halls!...
Why have a ballroom
with no balls?
Finally, they're opening
up the gates!...

There'll be actual real live people!...
It'll be totally strange!...
But wow, am I so ready,
for this change!

'Cause for the first time in forever!
There'll be music, there'll be light!
For the first time in forever!
I'll be dancing through the night!

Don't know if I'm elated or gassy!
But I'm somewhere in that zone!
'Cause for the first time in forever!
I won't be alone!...

I can't wait to meet everyone!... [gasp] What if I meet... the one?!

Tonight, imagine me gown and all!
Fetchingly draped against the wall!
The picture of sophisticated grace!
I suddenly see him standing there!
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair!
I wanna stuff some
chocolate in my face!...

But then we laugh
and talk all evening,
Which is totally bizarre!
Nothing like the life,
I've led so far!

For the first time in forever!
There'll be magic, there'll be fun!
For the first time in forever!
I could be noticed by someone!

And I know it is totally crazy!
To dream I'd find romance!
But for the first time in forever!
At least I've got a chance!

Minuet:
Don't let them in,
don't let them see!...
Be the good girl,
you always have to be!...
Conceal, don't feel,
put on a show!...
Make one wrong move,
and everyone will know!...

Minuet: But it's only for today!!
Arianna: It's only for today!!

Minuet: It's agony to wait!...
Arianna: It's agony to wait!!...

Minuet: Tell the guards
to open up the gate!!
Arianna: The gate!!...

Arianna: For the first time in forever!...
Minuet: Don't let them in,
don't let them see!...

Arianna: I'm getting what
I'm dreaming of!...
Minuet: Be the good girl,
you always have to be!...

Arianna: A chance to change
my lonely world!...
Minuet: Conceal-!...

Arianna: A chance to find true love!!
Minuet: Conceal, don't feel,
don't let them know!...

(Arianna):
'I know it all ends tomorrow,
So it has to be today!
'Cause for the first time in forever!
For the first time in forever!
Nothing's in my way!...'

—Part Two—
(Henry Thwaites):
'He's a real nowhere man!...
Sitting in his nowhere land!...
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody!...
