Tom Kitt & Lin-Manuel Miranda - What I Was Born To Do lyrics

[CAMPBELL] I was in the stands, rooting for our team When I saw the Buccaneers cheer for the first time Standing on their hands, every move extreme I looked around— Do these people see what I see? These Truman girls were superhuman girls And when they started to fly, I knew That I would find a way to be up there one day 'Cause in that moment I finally knew What I was born to do [ENSEMBLE] Go, go, go Campbell Go Campbell, go Campbell Go, go, go Campbell, go! [CAMPBELL] Yeah! Yeah! [CAMPBELL (ENSEMBLE)] Means I was gonna be A cheerleader like the Buccaneers in front of me So I stumbled 'til I tumbled and I made the team Now my life is every adolescent's favorite dream Slow-motion down the hall (Hey!), as kids all stop and stare I feel like I'm a part of it all for the first time And if I ever fall (No!), I know my squad is there 'Cause I've got the Buccaneers here behind me [CAMPBELL & ENSEMBLE] These Truman girls are superhuman girls And there is nothing that they can't do (Nothing that they can't do) And beyond all the squads, they're semi-demigods And when our powers combine, we do [ENSEMBLE] What we were born to do Hey-ey-ey-ey [SQUAD] Ready? Okay [SKYLER] My name is Skyler I rep the Bucks with pride I'm probably too cool for you So friend request denied [ENSEMBLE] Aww [KYLAR] I'm Kylar, from Tyler My real name is Ines But Skyler said to change it And I do what Skyler says [BRIDGET] My name is Bridget I rock the parrot head It's hot in here And kinda smells like someone wet the bed [ENSEMBLE] Gross [STEVEN (with ENSEMBLE)] What's up? My name is Steven I'm so handsome it hurts Don't need an umbrella I stand under miniskirts [ENSEMBLE] What! [STEVEN (with ENSEMBLE)] Yeah, I'm a boss I don't care what the haters say How many dudes can say They pick up girls all day? (spoken) Love you [CAMPBELL, spoken] Love you more [GIRL, spoken] Oh, yay. Cheerleader tryouts are tonight. Pick me [BOY, spoken] No, pick me Even mocking cheerleaders cannot hide the emptiness in my soul [CAMPBELL, sung] Hey! You never met me face to face If you think cheerleaders are a waste of space We work and we fight and we train and hustle We get mani-pedis, but we're made of muscle We got one shot that we work all year for We got more balls that the team we cheer for Nationals is getting closer by the minute [CAMPBELL & ENSEMBLE] Last year we took bronze, this year we're gonna win it! Bring it! Counting down the days (Hey!), making new routines (Ho!) Trying out a tumbling pa** for the first time (Oh-ohh-ohh-ohh) Going all the way (Hey!), here behind the scenes (Ho!) [CAMPBELL & ENSEMBLE] I look around— Do these people see what I see? (I see) These Truman girls are superhuman girls We've got the spirit and we'll see it (We've got the spirit and we'll see it) We gladly pay our dues with every sprain and bruise Because we're doing what we're born to do (Doing what we're born to do) (Doing what we're born to do) (Doing what we're born to do) [CAMPBELL] Doing what we're born to do There is so much more to do I can see it in my mind, this moment's mine When we win first place, we'll know how bright we shine We will move like parts of a finely-tuned design Not a wasted throw, not a towel[?] across the line (This moment's mine, this moment's mine) We will leave it all on the floor [ALL] We will leave it all on the floor (We will leave it all / We will leave it) (Leave it all / We will leave it) [CAMPBELL] 'Cause this is why we were born (Go go go) Oh! There is no second place, you're either flying or falling Oh! C'mon pick up the pace, I hear destiny calling Oh! You cannot be afraid to fall down and work through it Oh! 'Cause this is what I'm born to do, so let's do it
