Angelina Mouseling | Go! Marco, Go!

a list, checked it twice Ribbons, rhymes and matching tights Posters bigger than the door Practice chants all on the floor Every step, I shout his name Turn his race into a game Louder I insist Till fun feels like a checklist [Chorus] [full band, driving rhythm, handclaps] Go, Marco, go! We're cheering on the sideline (Hey! Hey!) Go, Marco, go! But did I cross the line? When the pom-poms hide the reason and the smiles start to fade Cheer a little softer [brass flourish] So his own dream leads the way (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da) [drum fill] Oh! [Verse 2] [piano and bass-driven rhythm] Drilled my friends in perfect rows Point your paws and touch your toes Sparkle more, you're out of sync See their faces start to sink Marco pauses, looking down Waves of support, a worried frown All this noise I built for him Drowned his heartbeat, drowned his grin [Chorus] [full band] Go, Marco, go! We're cheering on the sideline (Hey! Hey!) Go, Marco, go! But did I cross the line? When the pom-poms hide the reason and the fun turns into strain Cheer a little softer Let his joy outrun the pain (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da) [Bridge] [rhythm section drops to half-time feel, strings enter] I forgot it's his big day Not a show I have to stage So I breathe, step back, make space Run your race Just run your race [Chorus] [full energy, brass section swells] Go, Marco, go! This time from the heart, oh yeah! Go, Marco, go! I'm proud of every start No more perfect little patterns, just my friend out on the road I'll be right here gently calling Marco, you can go! (Go, go, go, go, go, go, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da) Go, Marco, go!
