Open Mic Night Lyrics - January 14, 2026

No Matter What - Def Leppard

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, I'm with you

No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooh girl, I want you

Knock down the old grey wall
And be a part of it all
Nothing to say
Nothing to see
Nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be
Nothing would be
Nothing would be

No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Ooh girl, I want you
Yeah

Knock down the old grey wall
And be a part of it all
Nothing to say
Nothing to see
Nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be
Nothing would be
Nothing would be

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, I'm with you

Ooh girl, you girl, I want you
Ooh girl, you girl, I want you

A Better Place - Daniel Trush and Gerry Powers

I’m gonna take a moment before I speak  

And try to choose all my words carefully

I really want to set a good example 

And make an impact that’s substantial

 I understand that I’m here to serve 

The good of others is my concern  

 Anytime that we’re trying to help

We’ll be the best version of ourselves  

           

When our days begin with gratitude 

We will always have a humble attitude

With a smile on our face and a heart full of grace

We can make the world a better place

Looking at life with hope and patience

Helps us manage our expectations

And in this light we find clarity

To better do the works of charity

 Seeing the goodness in someone’s soul

Is something beautiful to behold

If we take the time to look beneath the surface

We’ ll find the meaning and the purpose

When our days begin with gratitude 

We will always have a humble attitude

With a smile on our face and a heart full of grace

We can make the world a better place

The present is a gift, and a gift is the present         

So move past the memories that are unpleasant

Then we can make the most of every minute

And when it gets tough, we’ll bear and grin it

When I’m ready to turn in for the night

I think back on the day and things that went right

I close my eyes, my mind is at ease

My spirit is calm and my heart is at peace

When our days begin with gratitude 

We will   always have a humble attitude

With a smile on our face and a heart full of grace

We can make the world a better place

Defying Gravity - from “Wicked”

[GLINDA, spoken]
Elphaba
Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once
Instead of flying off the handle?
I hope you’re happy

[GLINDA]
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you’ve hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever

[ELPHABA, spoken]
I hope you're happy

[ELPHABA]
I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you would
Grovel in submission to feed your own ambition

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

[GLINDA, spoken]
Elphie, listen to me
Just say you're sorry

[GLINDA]
You can still be with the Wizard
What you’ve worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wantеd

[ELPHABA, spoken]
I know

[ELPHABA]
But I don’t want it
No, I can't want it anymore

Something has changed within mе
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

[GLINDA]
Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur?

[ELPHABA]
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try, I'll never know
Too long, I've been afraid of
Losing love, I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

[ELPHABA, spoken]
Come with me
Think of what we could do together

[ELPHABA]
Unlimited
Together, we're unlimited
Together, we'll be the greatest team there's ever been, Glinda
Dreams the way we planned 'em

[GLINDA]
If we work in tandem

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I defying gravity
With you and I defying gravity

[ELPHABA]
They'll never bring us down

[ELPHABA, spoken]
Are you coming?

[GLINDA]
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

[ELPHABA, spoken]
You, too

[ELPHABA]
I hope it brings you bliss

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend

[ELPHABA, spoken]
No, leave her alone!
She hasn't done anything wrong
I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want!
It's me!

[ELPHABA]
It's me

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly"
And if I'm flying solo
At least, I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me

Tell them how I'm defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
And soon, I'll match them in renown

Unlimited
Unlimited
Unlimited

[ELPHABA, spoken]
And, nobody in all of Oz

[ELPHABA]
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down

[GLINDA]
I hope you're happy

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Look at her! She's wicked!
Kill her!

[CITIZENS OF OZ & ELPHABA]
No one mourns the wicked (Bring me down)
So we've got to bring her

[ELPHABA]
Oh

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Down
Down
Woah

Roar - Katy Perry

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire 'cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion 'cause I am the champion
And you're gonna hear me roar

Ooh, ooh
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey, got up)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire 'cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar

Ooh, ooh
You're gonna hear me roar (hey)
Ooh (you'll hear me roar), ooh
You're gonna hear me roar

Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire 'cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Oh, louder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar

Ooh (yeah), ooh
You're gonna hear me roar
Ooh (you'll hear me roar), ooh
You're gonna hear me roar

The Beginning - Kyla

Here, in the beginning

The only thing that matters is now

In this hour, just be present

Don't think of what comes next

Forget what comes before

Just be, in this moment

Conscious and aware

Quietly perceiving

Flicker of doubt

Lurking in view

Welcome it in

Throw it away

Here, in the beginning

The well of possibility is full

In this hour, just be open

The stakes are set too high for

any trace of hesitation

Just be, still, unjudging

The outcome is not set

Let events unfold

There on the sides

Just out of reach 

Infinite scripts

Let them be

Flying through the universe

Uncountable particles crashing and burning

Exploding imploding

Chaos and disorder

Forming and reforming

Culminating in daylight

Baby - from Freakier Friday

[Verse 1: Lindsay Lohan, Julia Butters]
Is it ever enough?
I worry that I might mess it all up
If I make it tough
I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
See you in my dreams
Whenever you go, I tear at the seams
If you think that I'll leave
Don't worry (Don't worry)

[Chorus: Lindsay Lohan & Julia Butters]
I just keep on coming back
I'm your good, and I'm your bad
'Cause you're my baby
And love was made to last
I'm your sunshine, I'm your rain
Only I can ease the pain
'Cause you're my baby, oh-oh
'Cause you're my baby, baby, baby, baby

[Verse 2: Lindsay Lohan, Lindsay Lohan & Julia Butters]
Are you in your head
When you slam the door and lay on the bed?
I'm tryin' my best
Believe me (Believe me)
This isn't the first
And it won't bе the last time I can't find the words
But makin' it work
Ain't еasy (Ain't easy)

[Bridge: Lindsay Lohan & Julia Butters]
You can tell me that you're scared, and I'll
Run my fingers through your hair 'cause you
Come to say you're sorry for the thousandth time

[Chorus: Lindsay Lohan & Julia Butters]
I just keep on coming back
I'm your good, and I'm your bad
'Cause you're my baby
And love was made to last
I'm your sunshine, I'm your rain
Only I can ease the pain
'Cause you're my baby, oh-oh
'Cause you're my baby, baby, baby, baby

[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Lindsay Lohan & Julia Butters]
I'm your sunshine, I'm your rain
Only I can ease the pain
'Cause you're my baby, oh-oh
'Cause you're my baby, baby, baby, baby

Good Time- Owl City

Whoa-uh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-uh-oh
It's always a good time

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time (Whooo)

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time (Whooo)

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there

Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then

It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
