Go play
Your life is a matinée
In a galaxy far, far away
And your debut it's a sold out show, yeah
It's a blockbuster movie and you play the lead role
And right out at the opening scenes
The whole crowd's on the edge of their seats
Your worst critics are sitting up front
And they're giving you two thumbs way, way up
You'll be in a league of your own
You'll be stealing their hearts, taking Oscars home
So go get 'em and give it some passion
Quiet on the set
Lights, camera, action!
With all your heart and soul
Dream big and you can feel the magic
Let the camera roll
Woah, your charm is automatic
Make your cameo
Be yourself
And don't be so dramatic
Go and steal the show
Woah, 'cause life is cinematic
Go and steal the show
Woah, 'cause life is Cinematic
Go play
Plot twist, it’s a trilogy
'Cause your life is a thriller
We're dying to see
Your debut it's a sold out show, yeah
It's an epic adventure
And you play the hero
And right out at the opening scenes
The whole crowd's on the edge of their seats
Your worst critics are sitting up front
And they're giving you two thumbs way, way up
You'll be in a league of your own
You'll be stealing their hearts, taking Oscars home
So go get 'em and give it some passion
Quiet on the set
Lights, camera, action!
With all your heart and soul
Dream big, and you can feel the magic
Let the camera roll
Woah, your charm is automatic
Make your cameo
Be yourself, and don't be so dramatic
Go and steal the show
Woah, 'cause life is cinematic
Get a top hat and a rabbit
With the crowd and make your magic
Turn the lights down low
(And your dreams will come true)
(May the force be with you)
Knock 'em dead
Go and steal the show
Woah, cause life is cinematic
Go play
'Cause your life is a movie
Go play
Follow your dreams, 'cause your life is a movie
Go play
Go get 'em and give it your all
Follow your dreams, 'cause life is cinematic
