Raise You Up / Just Be

LOLA

Don’t you go thinking it was your sappy phone calls that brought me here.

I have come for one thing and one thing only; Adulation!

People of the world, Price & Son proudly presents LOLA’S KINKY BOOTS!

CHARLIE

Thank you, Lola.

LOLA

Once I was afraid but then you came along,

You put your faith in me

And I was challenged to be strong

When I lost my way

You were there to see me through

Now let Lola lend some love

And do the same for you

LOLA & ANGELS

Feed your fire

To take you higher

We’ll light you up like a live wire

Celebrate you

To elevate you

When you struggle to stand

Well take a helping hand

If you hit the dust

Let me raise you up

When your bubble busts

Let me raise you up

If your glitter rusts

Let me raise you up

And up

ANGELS

Raise you up!

Raise you up!

Raise you up!

CHARLIE

Never put much heart in anything before

You strut into my life

And help me go for something more

Now I stand up for myself

Now I stand out from the crowd

Now I’m standing on high heels

If dad could see me now

CHARLIE, LOLA & ANGELS

Feed your fire

To take you higher

We’ll light you up like a live wire
