We Look to You

We Look to You - Matthew Sklar/Keegan-Michael Key

Lyrics by：Chad Beguelin

Composed by：Matthew Sklar

My days have little glamour

Writing memos making calls

And wincing at the grammar

Written on the bathroom walls

It's all school supplies and budget size

And wading through red tape

That's why I love the theater

It's how I escape

So theater's a distraction is that what you mean

A distraction is momentary an escape helps you heal

We look to you to take us away

From the soul-crushing jobs and emasculating pay

When our lives come up short

And our hopes are sad and few

You whisk us off to some place strange and new

We look to you in good times and bad

The worlds you crеate make the rеal one seem less sad

The curtain goes up and every now and then

It feels as if we're coming home again

Yes coming home again

We need a place to run to when everything goes wrong

When the answer to each problem is to burst into a song

And standard rules of logic just simply don't apply

When people dance in unison and no one wonders why

Oh you make it sound so beautiful

We look to you as strange as it seems

When reality goes to scary new extremes

So don't ever give up and this I guarantee

Next time you think no one cares you can look to me
