Together We Rise

[INTRO] MARIO: We started as a question, A moment passing by, A stranger in a city With a million stories high. LUIGI: One hello became another, One road became two, And somehow all these different lives Led me straight to you. SOPHIE: We never planned the journey, We never saw the view, But every door we opened Brought somebody new. ALL: Look at where we are now! [CHORUS] Together we rise! Together we run! Together we chase the impossible And call it fun! Together we shine! Together we try! Everything changes When we stand side by side! Different stories, Different dreams, Different roads beneath our feet, Somewhere along the way We became a family! Together we rise! [MARIO] I used to think the name I carried Was the first thing people saw. The money, lights, the photographs, The life behind it all. But strip away the headlines, Take the spotlight from the room, I'm still the guy who laughs too loud, Who cares a little too soon. If tomorrow takes the fortune, If the whole world looks away, I know the people standing here Would still know my name. Not for what I have, But for who I am. [LUIGI & AVA] LUIGI: You're impossible to read. Every time I think I've got you figured out, You change what I believe. AVA: Maybe that's the fun of it. LUIGI: I think I can work it out. AVA: Finally! BOTH: Maybe we don't have to know Exactly where this goes. Sometimes the best adventures Are the ones nobody knows. [JOSH] I used to think my greatest talent Was turning everything insane. Make everybody laugh, Turn any moment into a game. But now I understand That's not something I should hide. A joke can break the silence, A laugh can change a life. I'm still gonna be loud, Still gonna make a scene, Still gonna be the weirdest guy You've ever seen. If my crazy makes you smile, I'll be crazy all the while! ALL: That's just Josh! JOSH: That's just me! [TEGAN & NATHAN] NATHAN: I think we've made some progress. TEGAN: Don't get ahead of yourself. NATHAN: You haven't yelled at me today. TEGAN: It's been a busy day. NATHAN: So I'm growing on you? TEGAN: I still don't like you. But I guess I'll keep you around. NATHAN: I'll take it. TEGAN: Don't push it. [TEGAN] I still got fire, Still got questions, Still don't know what tomorrow brings. But I found people worth fighting for, And that's changed everything. Family isn't perfect, It's who stays when they could leave. [HARMONY & NATHAN] HARMONY: We spent our lives searching For answers we could prove. NATHAN: But life's best answers Are found in what we do. BOTH: You don't have to solve the future. You don't have to know the plan. Sometimes you just need people Who understand who you are. [SOPHIE] I thought love was the destination, The ending I'd been waiting for. But now I see the people beside me Are worth so much more. There's love in every friendship, In every hand reaching out. The family I was born into Isn't the only family I've found. [BUILD] MARIO: One person opened up a door. SOPHIE: One hello became another. LUIGI: One road became a meeting. HARMONY: One meeting became a friendship. NATHAN: One friendship became trust. TEGAN: And trust became something stronger. ALL: Something none of us expected, Something bigger than ourselves! [CHORUS] Together we rise! Together we run! Together we chase the impossible And call it fun! We came here as strangers, We didn't know what we'd find. Now every road that brought us here Is part of the same design! [BRIDGE] LUIGI: If I never went to Washington Square... HARMONY: We would've never met. NATHAN: If Harmony never introduced me... LUIGI: You wouldn't be here. SOPHIE: If I never brought Luke home... JOSH: We wouldn't have met him. MARIO: And if any one of us Had taken a different road, We wouldn't be standing here. SOPHIE: Funny how one person... LUIGI: Can change everything. [FINAL BUILD] BRENT: We found courage! WILL: We found hope! KAITLYN: We found kindness! AVA: We found something unexpected! JOSH: We found a reason to laugh! NATHAN: We found people worth trusting! TEGAN: We found somewhere to stand! HARMONY: We found each other! MARIO: We found family! [FINAL CHORUS] ALL: Together we rise! Together we soar! We're writing a story We never knew was ours! Together we shine! Together we try! Everything changes When we stand side by side! We were strangers once, Just passing through the night. Now we're standing together Under the same city lights! Together we rise! Together we stand! Different stories, Different dreams, But the same hearts in our hands! Through the laughter, Through the tears, Through whatever comes our way, We will always have each other. We will always find a way! Together we rise! Together we run! Together we face tomorrow And turn it into something fun! Together we shine! Together we fly! No matter where this road takes us, We will never say goodbye! TOGETHER WE RISE! JOSH: So... who's throwing the party? TEGAN: Not you. JOSH: Too late. [FINAL HIT]
