Whoever can string the old king’s bow And shoot through twelve axes cleanly Will win the feast, sit down at the throne With laughter loud and freely Where is he? Where is the prince we all know? Oh-whoa Screw this competition, we’ve been here for hours None of us can string this, we don’t have the power Drop this d@m challenge, no more delays Can’t you guys see? It’s a special day! This is how they keep us hold us down while the hall gets colder hold us down while we lose our place hold us down while the boy gets older Where in the world is his smiling face? Here and now, there’s a cause for action Here and now, we can take control Here and now, not with war but laughter Channel the joy inside your soul Haven’t you noticed who’s missing?? Don’t you know the prince is not around? I heard today is Telemachus’ birthday… And I heard today he comes back to town, so— I say we gather near the beaches I say we wait ’til he arrives Then I’ll sneak off while you all distract him Then I can go prepare the surprise, and— Hold them down… ’Til I’m in the kitchen… Hold them down… While I start to bake… Hold them down… While I slowly bring his Buddies, his family, and favorite cake!! Lay it out— All the sweets and pieces Set it down— A grand tableau When the prince wonders what his gift is Only his mother and I will know! And when the moment comes We’ll shout and cheer as one Surprise him as he walks through the door Songs and laughter and so much more Then we’ll crowd around while the room is glowing Cheer him on as he takes his place Raise a cup while the joy is flowing Nothing but smiles on every face Here and now, it’s a celebration (celebration!) Here and now, let the good times roll (good times roll!) Here and now, no more hesitation Channel the joy inside your soul, and— Lift it up, lift it up (lift it up, oh!) Lift it up, lift it up Lift it up, lift it up (lift it up!) Channel the joy inside your soul!
