[music - From Now On]
BOY: (SINGING) I saw the sun begin to dim and felt that winter wind blow cold, a man who learns who is there for him when the glitter fades and the walls won't hold.
GIRL: (SINGING) 'Cause from then, rubble. What remains can only be what's true. If all was lost, there's more I gained 'cause it led me back to you.
GIRL: (SINGING) From now on, these eyes will not be blinded by the lights.
GIRL: (SINGING) From now on, what's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight. Tonight.
GIRL: (SINGING) Let this promise in me start like an anthem in my heart. From now on.
GIRLS: (SINGING) From now on.
GIRL: (SINGING) I drank champagne with kings and queens. The politicians praised my name.
GIRL: (SINGING) But those were someone else's dreams, the pitfall of the girl I became.
GIRL: (SINGING) For years and years, I chased their cheers, the crazy speed of always needing more.
GIRL: (SINGING) But when I stop and see you here, I remember who all this was for.
GIRL: (SINGING) From now on, these eyes will not be blinded by the lights.
BOY: (SINGING) From now on, what's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight. It starts tonight.

GIRL: (SINGING) From now on.

REPORTER: Breaking news. Today is the day thousands of parents have been waiting for. Classrooms across the state were thrown open with all students allowed back in.
[music - Born to be Brave]
GIRL: (SINGING) Don't need a king. I got my crown. Don't need a hero to lift me off the ground. I built this heart. It's beating loud. Won't let no bad blood ever bring us down.
BOY: (SINGING) Keep flying higher. Fight like a fighter. What if I'm everything that I will ever need?
GIRL: (SINGING) A queen messiah. A strong survivor. Even the worst days won't get the best of me.
CHORUS: (SINGING) 'Cause I was born to be brave. I know who I am inside, and I won't apologise. Made my mistakes. And they gave me wings to fly to my castle in the sky.
BOY: (SINGING) I used to feel like I was lost. It's like my phone's navigation was turned off.
CHORUS: (SINGING) But it's the road I stumbled on that led me right to the place where I belong.
Keep flying higher. Fight like a fighter. Yeah, I am everything that I was meant to be. A blazin' fire that's getting brighter. Don't need nobody here that don't believe in me.
'Cause I was born to be brave. I know who I am inside, and I won't apologise. Made my mistakes. And they gave me wings to fly to my castle in the sky. Let my hair down and let it go. No more running, I run this show. Way up here, yeah, the view is gold. Born to be brave. Now I'm standing miles high like castles in the sky.
Bosses and queens, stand up on your throne. Know who you are, this is your kingdom. Legends at heart, individuals. Go make your mark. Be original. Hey!
'Cause I was born to be brave. I know who I am inside, and I won't apologise. Made my mistakes. And they gave me wings to fly to my castle in the sky. Let my hair down and let it go. No more running, I run the show. Way up here, yeah, the view is gold. 'Cause I was born to be brave. Now I'm standing miles high like castles in the sky.
