Raise You Up / Just Be
Original Broadway Cast of Kinky Boots
[LOLA]
Once I was afraid, but then you came along
Put your faith in me and I was challenged to be strong
When I lost my way, you were there to see me through
Now let Lola lend some love and do the same for you!

[LOLA & ANGELS]
Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand
If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up
[CHARLIE]
Never put much heart in anything before
You strut into my life and help me go for something more
Now I stand up for myself
Now I stand out from the crowd
Now I'm standing on high heels
If Dad could see me now!

[LOLA & ANGELS]
Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand
If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
Raise you up

[LAUREN]
I knew you had it in you
I knew what you could do
[CHARLIE]
You believed in me
Let me be right for you

[LAUREN]
Your stumbling days are done
Now we're walking on air

[CHARLIE]
I was a loose shoe but you need two to make a pair

[LAUREN, spoken]
Wait wait wait wait wait hold it right there, buster! Are you saying you'd like to take me out?

Oh... carry on!

[LOLA, ANGELS, CHARLIE & LAUREN]
Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand

[DON]
Look out, Milan
Here comes Don
And Don has brought some friends along
When you start things out of certainty
Then the ones you love
Are gonna set you free!

[ALL]
Feed your fire, to take you higher
We'll light you up like a live wire
Celebrate you, to elevate you
When you struggle to step, we'll take a helping hand
If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up (and up)
Raise you up
Raise you up
If you hit the dust
Let me raise you up
When your bubble busts
Let me raise you up
If your glitter rusts
Let me raise you up (and up)

Just be
Raise you up

[LOLA]
We're the same, Charlie Boy, you and me...

[ENSEMBLE]
Just be
Who you wanna be
Never let 'em tell you who you ought to be
Just be
With dignity
Celebrate yourself triumphantly
You'll see
You'll see
Just be
Just be

[LOLA]
Ladies—

[CHARLIE]
—Gentlemen—

[CHARLIE & LOLA]
And those who have yet to make up their minds

[CHARLIE]
As people all over the world clamor for kinky boots
It's time for us to get back to work
But before we go, we would like to leave you with the Price and Simon secret to success:

[LOLA]
Alright, now we've all heard of the 12 Step Program, have we not?
Yes, but what you can do in 12, I want you to know that we all can do in 6! Ow, and it goes like this:[ENSEMBLE]
One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Six! 

Pursue the truth

Learn something new
[NICOLA]
Accept yourself and you'll accept others too!
[LAUREN]
Let love shine
[CHARLIE]
Let pride be your guide
[DON]
You change the world when you change your mind![ENSEMBLE]
Just be who you wanna be
Never let them tell you who you ought to be
Just be. With dignity
Celebrate your life triumphantly
You'll see
Its beautiful
You'll see
Its beautiful
Just be
Its beautiful
Just be

You'll see
Its beautiful
You'll see
Its beautiful
Just be
Its beautiful
Just be—
Beautiful!
