Ready Or Not (Reversed)

Big-top cinematic pop with marching-band drums and stomps, glockenspiel twinkles, and a soaring circus-choir chorus, Verses start intimate with piano and brushed snare, pre-chorus adds brass swells, then the chorus explodes with full drumline, handclaps, and stacked harmonies, Key change and modulated bridge for maximum showtune lift, male or female belt vocal in the spotlight

V4.5-ALL

[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear
Every doubt I ever knew
Waiting here
On this wire I’m walking through
I hear the drumline calling
“Step out
Step out”
If I’m gonna fall
Then I’m falling proud

[Chorus]
Ready or not
I’m coming out
I was made for the roar
Not the quiet crowd
Take my hand
We’ll chase that shot
Of impossible
Unstoppable
Ready or not
We’ll swing from the rafters
Touch the sky
Turn every trembling tear into battle cry
This is our cue
This is our shot
We’re coming
We’re coming
Ready or not

[Verse 2]
Every “no”
Is a poster on my wall
Every scar
Is a spotlight when I fall
I was hiding in the wings
While they told me “play it small”
Now my name’s in chalk
Ten feet tall on the hall

[Pre-Chorus]
Every laugh
Every whisper in the dark
Feeds the fuse
On this wild and fragile spark
Hear that drumbeat rising
“Stand up
Stand up”
If the world says “stay”
We’ll still erupt

[Bridge]
Step right up to the edge of the ring (hey!)
Hear the hush before everything sings
All the misfit hearts
All the almost-stars
We were born to break the bars
If the world’s too small for the size of our hearts
We’ll redraw the lines
We’ll restart the charts
On the count of three
Take the leap with me
One
Two—

[Chorus]
Ready or not
We’re breaking out
We were made for the roar
Not the quiet crowd
Take my hand
We’ll chase that shot
Of impossible
Unstoppable
Ready or not
We’ll swing from the rafters
Touch the sky
Turn every trembling tear into battle cry
This is our cue
This is our shot
We’re coming
We’re coming
Ready or not (oh yeah)
We’re coming
We’re coming
Ready or not
