Ripple
J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
This brand new Pasek & Paul song from the movie "Spirited" is a joyful production number with an unforgettable hook! The lyrics will spark imaginative and unique staging and choreography possibilities, and the multiple solos and vocal layering add to the excitement as the music builds to the final climax. It features a longer baritone solo at the beginning of the song that returns later on for a final powerful statement of hope.

Every day I wake up with a single dream Runnin' through my head To throw a tiny stone into a mighty stream And watch the ripples as they spread Well, we fall in line, follow every rule But is that something we should really take pride in? 'Cause we're treading water in the kiddie pool When there are oceans we could turn the tide in If you wanna make a ripple If you wanna make a wave Playing safe and thinking small Doesn't move the ball at all There’s humanity to save If we never test the waters we'll never know Just how far the ripples go Do you wanna make a ripple, ripple, ripple? Just lift one person up, that goes to two then four And then it jumps from four to eight Yes, soon you guys, it multiplies to thousands more Can you hear it reverberate? All across the world the change is gaining some traction Man, we began a chain reaction If you wanna make a ripple That can turn into a wave Time to mean what we're about Gotta turn this mother out Friends, it's just called bein' brave Maybe more than just a ripple Make the choice to take a chance Let's put on our big-boy pants If we only skim the surface we'll never know Just how far the ripples go Can we redeem the unredeemable? Can we just risk it all and find a way? Can we accomplish the impossible? Well, it's impossible to say But I have to believe inside the worst of us There is some decency there I know that we can achieve something miraculous If we only dare Do you dare to do the impossible? If you wanna make a ripple If you wanna make a wave Then let's fry some bigger fish Ask forgiveness, not permish There’s humanity to save Can't resign yourself to ripple 'Cause you’ll barely make a dent Giving ninety-nine percent Go for broke 'cause it's time that we finally know Just how far the ripples go! (Will Ferrell, Pasek & Paul)
