Matthew Morrison - Believe Lyrics






[Barrie:]
I see it all around us
In every single color
And every dimension
Crowns the reinvention

And if it is black
Then it's white
And when it is dark
Then it's light
So fill in all the spaces
With imaginary places

It's so frustrating
When no one else sees
Everything you see
So for now it is just an illusion, confusion
Unless you're someone who believes

When you look
Tell me what do you see?
[Peter:]
Just a dog in a park

[Barrie:]
Is it real?
Is it fiction
Only make believe?
You act like you really don't care

[Peter:]
Look with your eyes

[Barrie:]
But I look with your eyes
He's a great Russian bear

And he's dancing and prancing
And bowing politely
He plays to full houses once daily
Twice nightly
Prefix "ordinary" with "extra" you'll see
Believe, believe, believe

[Barrie (Peter):]
I don't need rose-tinted spectacles
(A dog, a rock, a bench, a bone)
Just to see the fundamentals
(A twig, a stick, a can, a stone)

[Barrie:]
I only see the bright lights

[Peter:]
A cloudy sky

[Sylvia:]
The sunset and the sunrise

[Peter:]
Don't lie

[Barrie:]
And if it is weak

[George:]
Then it's strong!

[Peter:]
It's not strong!

[Barrie:]
And just when it's right

[Jack:]
Then it's wrong!

[Peter:]
It's not wrong!

[Barrie, Sylvia, George, Jack & Michael:]
And everything my eyes see

[Peter:]
Everything my eyes see

[Barrie, Sylvia & 3 Boys:]
Is nothing like it should be

[Peter:]
Is only like it should be

[Barrie, Sylvia & 3 Boys:]
It's so frustrating
When no one else sees
Everything you see
So for now it is just an illusion, confusion

[Barrie, Sylvia, 3 Boys & Ensemble (Sylvia):]
Unless you're someone who believes
When you look
Tell me what do you see
(You can believe!)
Is it real?
Is it fiction
Only make believe?

You may think we're safe on the path
(You must believe)
But the grass is the water that's rising too fast

[Sylvia:]
And now Kensington park
Is the biggest lagoon
[Barrie:]
And this bench is a rock
[All:]
And we're all marooned here
Hear the mermaids sing their beautiful song!

[All:]
When you look
Tell me what do you see?
You can believe
Is it real?
Or a mystery scientifically?

It's more than a bench in the park
You must believe
Look again
It's rocket that's headed for Mars
On a mission to search for new life

When we'll be back who knows
'Cause it's really a long flight

Turn the whole world upside down
And you'll see
Believe, believe, believe

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Barrie & (All):]
With just imagination
(Ha, ha, ha)
And creative speculation
(Ha, ha, ha)
Our life's calling
Was never meant to be boring

[Ensamble:]
No!

[All:]
Believe, believe,
Believe, believe,
Believe, believe,
Believe, believe,
Believe, believe
Believe, believe,
Believe!, believe,
Believe!

  24. R.... M....

    loved this show but to be honest I did not care for this song at all....had to see this song performed again and still dislike this song

  25. M.... ....

    I want to go see this, this week at the Pantages but I'm a little iffy about it.

  26. �.... ....

    Wow.. Just wow. I really want to see this musical. But I live in Korea. When can I see Finding Neverland?!

  27. M.... D....

    Believe it or not, my mom, my sister, my grandma, and my cousin went to see this and I loved it! Not to mention, in the end I got to meet the cast, including Matthew Morrison himself! ❤️❤️❤️

  28. z.... ....

    We are in absolute E8 formation with the fractal hitting the synecdoche at almost every turn I take.
    I also keep not waking up.
    I think the dream and the reality found equilibrium with spontaneous symmetry breaking through an acceptance of Heisenberg!
    Either that or everything is a lie.
    There is only one electron.

    z.... ....

    My thoughts exactly!

  29. v.... ....

    Still see a lot of Mr. Schue in Matthew, even in his more recent performances, I still see parts of him as Mr. Schue :)

  30. Z.... ....

    Haha at :50 the dog jumped his cue lol

  31. C.... 3....

    What would Emma pillsbury say?😂

    C.... 3....

    She wouldnt she would stare and be freakishly obbsessed like she normally does in the first 2-3 seasons

  32. e.... t....

    i just saw this, it was amazing i totally recommend it

    e.... t....

    ellie thompson.. I also saw it! But not this cast! I LOVED THE DOG THE MOST!!

  33. A.... ....

    2:20 best part

  34. D.... K....

    LOVE THIS MUSICAL~!!

  35. G.... ....

    0h my goodness the song is amazing best i have ever seen

  36. t.... ....

    My all time favorite Broadway show ever!!! So inspirational. Absolutely love it saw it 3 times!!!

  37. L.... O....

    I love all the music, I absolute cannot wait to see this show ✨💚

  38. L.... ....

    I went to see this for a school trip and the main guy was the understudy of an understudy and I find him better than the original guy. Not to mention his accent was better.

  39. E.... ....

    So that's why jonathan was able to lift glory and willa so easily

  40. N.... P....

    Awesome awesome performance so much hard work, you can tell this choreo took time.

    Lol one thing though... I can just hear my director screaming everytime I see the wings move when they're entering and exiting lol

  41. D.... ....

    I think (and this is just an opinion so don't be haters) that the boy was better than the man

  42. C.... E....

    I went and saw Finding Neverland on a school trip yesterday with my Vocal Ensemble and we did a workshop and learned this song and the dance. It was truthfully the most fun thing ever and the show is breathtaking. I really really recommend seeing it if you ever have the opportunity. It's so amazing.

  43. A.... S....

    I love Aidan Gemme!! I hope he is in a lot more musicals!

  44. K.... T....

    There's really nothing wrong with the cast themselves. The audio is very bad, so it's GMA's fault. Also, do you know how hard it is to sing at 7:00am and wake up at like 3 or 4:00 am?

  45. M.... T....

    Oh my god! Mr. Schue!! You made it to Broadway in the end!!!

    M.... T....

    He had already been on Broadway, he was the original Link in Hairspray on Broadway he just did a lot of TV work before he went back to stage x

    M.... T....

    +Katy Seddon i think she was making a joke...

    M.... T....

    and LITP

  46. A.... G....

    he has the worst scottish accent ever

    A.... G....

    i feel like wgat they probably did is go with the stereotypical Scottish accent in America so that people watching the show would know it's meant to be a Scottish accent? idk it's just a guess and I'm probabky 100% wrong he probably just wasn't coached enough on the accent

    A.... G....

    Well maybe it could be just a bad song ..... I liked most of the songs in the show but this one was my least favorite of all of them.

    A.... G....

    +Allison Garippo nah it's just a really bad accent. British actors have to do American accents all the time so he has no excuse to at least sustain some sort of Scottish one

    A.... G....

    @Andrew Gardiner well I'm saying that if the directors told him that that was good and he didn't need to work any more on his accent then it's not really his fault. But yes it's a bad accent

    A.... G....

    Andrew Gardiner yo stfu

  47. E.... M....

    I've been in some musical theatre recently and wow, you don't realise how much work goes into every musical, it's amazing each song has atleast 100 rehearsals if not more and some take 7 months of preparation

    E.... M....

    +Eleanor Msp ikr

    E.... M....

    I feel ya

    E.... M....

    I believe you

    E.... M....

    Yeah.. I've been an actor all my life and even a Broadway show does not take 7 months to stage. Writing it, maybe, but even that is pushing it. The longest rehearsal process I've ever been in was 4 months, but that was with maybe two-three rehearsals a week. For a Broadway production when you're rehearing nearly every day, it would be even less than that. Yes, putting on a great show takes a tremendous amount of work but not quite that long of a time.

  48. M.... A....

    I loved this show! I waited at the stage door and met Matt Morrison and all the kids! They were all so nice and were willing to take pictures. We saw them again at The Illusionists the next day and congradulated them again. Really great show!

  49. C.... d....

    Is he still on broadway

    C.... d....

    Matt is still playing J.M. Barrie until January 23 I think

    C.... d....

    +Jake_The_Slime Yeah it's that weekend. The 24th is his official final day. Then Tony Yazbeck will be taking over the role. He was in On the Town.

    C.... d....

    I saw Tony Yazbeck in On the Town he's PHENOMENAL he'll do a great job replacing Matt

  50. J.... A....

    I want to watch this broadway show so bad it's looks and sounds incredible and magical

  51. K.... C....

    I was able to meet most of the original cast and everyone was so sweet!!!!

    K.... C....

    K Corona did you meet Aiden and Chris omf they seem like the sweetest people

  52. N.... C....

    Can we just talk about the bear and how HAM he goes on that dance?

    N.... C....

    Matt and the bear just stole the show, didn't they?

  53. J.... C....

    I had a listen to Matilda's "Revolting Children" as suggested by one of the theater snobs here and it was...er...revolting. If that's what a real theater score is supposed to sound like then give me Gary and Eliot's pop masterpieces any time. At least I could bear and listen for more than 1 minute of their songs.

  54. P.... ....

    amazing the crap that can end up on Broadway just because people have money to splash. same for Amazing Grace.

    P.... ....

    Ikr, but thankfully there are plays like finding neverland that are spectacular. Oh.... You were talking about finding neverland..... You obviously haven't seen it XD

  55. B.... Y....

    Is JM Barrie not meant to be Scottish? Love the song. Love everything but the fact that for some reason Matthew Morrison was cast and decided that no accent was best.

    B.... Y....

    j.m barrie was scottish

    B.... Y....

    He is kind of doing a scottish accent. They have kept it in, its difficult to sing with an accent though. If you listen carefully you can sometimes hear him rollings his Rs to sound more scottish.

  56. N.... F....

    I love this song

  57. A.... K....

    I saw this Broadway show and it was great

  58. S.... M....

    I love this song!

  59. f.... ....

    Saw this show twice in Cambridge MA. Does anyone know what happened to the fabulous actor who played the dog? He was remarkable! thanks.

    f.... ....

    +funnyguy52 I believe the dog was played by Thayne Jasperson! Thayne's in Hamilton on Broadway currently :)

    f.... ....

    +Logan Fabbro Thank you very much, Logan, for the info. I met him (and the whole cast) after a performance at the ART in Cambridge, he was a very nice guy!

  60. b.... ....

    this looks extremely cheesy, please tell me the musical is better than this small clip?

  61. A.... i....

    BRING OUT THE DANCING RUSSIAN BEARS.

  62. C.... E....

    Love that they got a real dog for Broadway.  When I saw the Pre-Broadway run in Cambridge they had a guy playing the role which was kind of corny.

    C.... E....

    @Colleen Evans I think that was kind of a shout out to the original play of peter pan (nana was played by a guy). thats just my thoughts.

    C.... E....

    That's cool Ewan, I had no idea

  63. A.... C....

    Is it bad that I want to play the character Peter and I always sing his part in this song and act like him?

  64. l.... ....

    Its more like a good pantomime rather than a Broadway show.

  65. e.... c....

    critics should go and see this play live.. it is amazing. And kids love it, critics obviously do not believe... they grew up... Amazing cast, amazing songs, amazing stage play.

    e.... c....

    +emma clifford more like a boring generic pop score written by two pop artists who have no idea how to write musical theatre,

    e.... c....

    +ctn04132 Uh? Matilda gets rave reviews and the music for it is plain awful. I tend to take what theater snobs say with a grain of salt. Their opinion's don't tend to jive with the general viewing audience.

    e.... c....

    +lankeysob Matilda's lyrics and score were Tony nominated and was frontrunners with Kinky Boots in most of the big categories. Tim Minchin's lyrics and music for "When I grow up" "Naughty" and "Revolting children" are more thought provoking and clever than anything Finding Neverland could ever dream up. It got shut out at the Tony's and deservedly so.

    e.... c....

    the show had a very choppy storyline and there was no huge climax in the show so I can see where critics wouldn't enjoy it as much as fun home (best musical winner 2015)

    e.... c....

    @Andrew Zabetakis Fun Home is amazing. I've watched a bootleg and would KILL to see it in person. 

  66. l.... m....

    🎼🎵For it's a jolly holiday with🎼🎵.... Wait what?

    l.... m....

    lou mertens 😂😂

    l.... m....

    Totally thought this was Mary poppins at first

  67. p.... ....

    Finding Neverland is one of my favorite films, and it has one of the most gorgeous scores there is memory of. So I am very disappointed with this, very uninspiring and plastic.

    p.... ....

    @princepeterwolf Just curious- are you basing your opinion on this performance alone or have you seen the show?

  68. a.... ....

    "Fill in all the spaces with imaginary places" is my favorite lyric ever. But I thought it was "fill all the empty spaces with imaginary places" and now im annoyed bc I was wrong

  69. h.... ....

    Tony nominations committee this year made so many errors. If there are more than four good actors, shows, etc., then nominate more than four. Heaven knows there were years when nothing was good and they still nominated four.
    This show should have gotten many nominations including one for best musical. It was  amazing and a pleasure.

    h.... ....

    +honeyjbc1 And one for Mathew Morrison.  He was on stage most of the show probably sang in 90% of the sings.

  70. l.... ....

    Im in Ohio and I'm going to New York just to see this im so excited my life revolves around Peter Pan and has since I was 3

    l.... ....

    +glitzandglam yey!!! i finally found someone who is as big of a Peter Pan freak as i am!!!! i am hoping to go see the show sometime next year!!!!

  71. T.... P....

    i am very disappointed on this not being nominated. But if you look at it another way its not going to be as crowded so more for the real fans. And more of a chance for those who want to audition

    T.... P....

    Heyy boi

    T.... P....

    +Mia D hey bois

  72. M.... S....

    The rehearsal version was so much better!

    M.... S....

    +Marcie St Clair Oh,not to me. This is the beautiful polished version of all the hard work during those rehearsals,for me,lol.

  73. R.... Q....

    Really disappointed that they cut out Porthos as a actor character, honestly I thought it gave it a really cool dynamic to this song, the bear was kind of weird

    R.... Q....

    @amberfirexx9 it was unclear because of the small stage... in the show it is more clear

    R.... Q....

    @amberfirexx9 Agree with capscoach, it's more clear in the full performance. If I remember correctly, the bear comes out exactly where the dog exited.

    R.... Q....

    I saw it and that's true

    R.... Q....

    I think the whole point of them bringing out a bear was to show it as how you would see it if you used imagination like they did when they lifted the people up, i would recommend watching the movie to understand

    R.... Q....

    yeah they could it made it more “transformational” if you understand what i mean😂

  74. c.... ....

    Why couldn't they get the full orchestra as a backing track... this sounds so thin compared to what it is actually like on Broadway.  This does not do the show justice

  75. K.... F....

    How did this get snubbed so much at the tonys?

    K.... F....

    Well I heard there not coming to the tonys now 

    K.... F....

    @Kevin Falk A show that is not nominated would not normally be invited...except maybe the opening number, but even that might not happen...such a shame seeing as Broadway is struggling and the Tony's act as a giant commercial...not having Morrison perform will hurt their viewership...bad economic decision on the Tony's part

    K.... F....

    Yeah but I heard Finding Neverland wants no part of the tonys and Is not giving free tickets for critics anymore as revenge. Dr. Zhivago is also doing this It's pretty crazy but Its hard to believe Its happening 

    K.... F....

    @Kevin Falk I think you're just sort of making stuff up...

    K.... F....

    @Kevin Falk Because Weinstein is a pompous prick that pissed off everyone on Broadway with the bullshit he pulls because it may fly in hollywood but this shit doesn't fly here.

  76. L.... Q....

    LOVED the show.

  77. A.... G....

    Mr. Morrison's accent is so bad, it took me the first minute of the song to figure out what he was trying to do.  hahahaha.  The music is very Matilda sounding.  Doesn't really interest me, but thanks for posting!

    A.... G....

    @Arie G J.M Barrie was sottish, so thats the accent he is doing, the Matilda accent is at the audiences best interest as they complained it was difficult to understand

    A.... G....

    Correction:  "so that's the accent he is TRYING to do". 

    A.... G....

    Have you ever tried to sing in a different accent 😂 it's difficult

    A.... G....

    When the show was in previews, Matt sang in his normal voice. Critics starting mentioning that it was strange to have him talk with an Scot accent and sing with an American one. So now we have this. I give him credit cause it's hard to add an accent to your voice as you sing when it's not naturally yours.

    A.... G....

    Arie G ITS NOTHING LIKE MATILDA. I really did not like Matilda and this was one of the best musicals I’ve ever seen. This was just one of the more fun songs, listen to What You Mean To Me.

  78. P.... R....

    Pretty good, but a little weird

    P.... R....

    very weird...

    P.... R....

    the shows actually not that weird😂 just this number

  79. R.... H....

    omg this is AWESOME I HAVE 2 GO SEE THIS SHOE WOWSers l

  80. E.... E....

    Best thing I've seen in my whole life. I get chills every time

  81. K.... F....

    This is what Ive been wanting on broadway all year a memorable music with amazing music and great actors. This has been a very subpar year and this just fixed all of it this better win all the tonys!! If the rest of the show Is as good as this song this will be the musical of the year!!

    K.... F....

    +andreas pablo Its a matter of personal taste,I suppose:) Everything you didnt like I absolutely loved,lol. & the passion in the story telling for a plot that is so simplistic is a big reason why I adore this story. Its cool to have differing opinions,though. If u arent into this play,that's alright. There are plenty more good ones to love this season. & that can just leave more Finding Neverland for me,lol!!

    K.... F....

    2015 was a subpar year on Broadway? Have you been asleep? Hamilton. Hamilton.

    K.... F....

    that's more from this year tho

    K.... F....

    Kevin Falk ghy Ujjain the boring keg inYvonne

    K.... F....

    fun home!!!!
