Path We Choose
song for Megamind the Musical
(Megamind, the Chorus, and all other characters sing this at Megamind’s presentation as the Defender of Metro City.)
lyrics:
MEGAMIND:
ALL MY LIFE
I BELIEVED IT
WHEN THE WORLD SAID
THAT EVIL WAS MY DESTINY
FOR SO LONG
MY MIND’S BEEN SHACKLED
BUT I’VE CAST OFF THE CHAINS OF LIES
NOW, I AM FREE
ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
IF YOU LOOK INSIDE
YOU’LL FIND THAT YOU ARE GOOD
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA DO THE THINGS
YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD
MEGAMIND:
I HAVE LIVED
WITHOUT HOPE OF RESCUE
ACCEPTANCE OR FORGIVENESS
OR REPRIEVE
FOR SO LONG
I THOUGHT I DESERVED THAT
BUT MY MIND IS FREE NOW
AND HERE IS WHAT I BELIEVE
ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
THIS BATTLE YOU ARE FIGHTING
CAN BE WON
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA STEP OUT FROM THE SHADOWS
TO THE SUN
MEGAMIND:
I’VE BEEN PUSHED DOWN
AND THE WORLD HAS TOLD ME
THAT I DIDN’T DESERVE
ANYTHING MORE
BUT I’M THROUGH
I’M THROUGH WITH FALLING
THIS TIME, OH, THIS TIME
I’M GONNA SOAR
ALL:
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
BUT THIS IS NOT A FIGHT THAT WE
ARE GONNA LOSE
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
DESTINY’S THE
PATH WE CHOOSE

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
!!! AAAAHHHH I AM SO EXCITED!!
OKAY SO–
You may recall me talking about how I was working on a script for a musical theatre version of Megamind.
I am VERY PLEASED to announce that the script is COMPLETE and that it is going to be UNVEILED at Mega Camp, where we will be doing a READING of it!! The reading is happening Sunday night at 7:30pm!
Now, in order to make the reading as enjoyable as possible, I need your help!
During the reading, I need volunteers to help by playing the parts. A script reading is much more informal than an actual performance, so there’s no need to be nervous; the emphasis here is on having fun. It’s going to be more like a game rather than a show.
Each participant will get a script, and they will read their lines from the script during the reading as they act out their parts. So there’s no need to worry about memorization. The songs, too, are very simple; I wrote them so that they are easy to sing.
There are lots of parts–all of the characters from canon, plus some characters from the Doom Syndicate: Hot Flash, Lady Doppler, Psycho Delic, and Destruction Worker. Not to mention the brainbots and the random citizens!
I’m going to post all of the songs, so that you all can hear them ahead of time–everyone is invited to sing along with the chorus parts.
Again, do not feel worried about having any experience with acting, or about whether you’re “good” at singing–this is all about having fun! And if you’re shy, there is always a place for you as a citizen or in the brainbot swarm!
I’m going to be playing Megamind, but all of the other parts are open.
If you are interested in playing, please let me know, and I will send you the script, so that you can read it ahead of time and feel more comfortable.
I am really proud of this script, and I am so excited to share the musical theatre version of Megamind with you all!
