A Sympathetic Ear

I like this, and I like Wicked I come up every year to see my shows I'm from Miami Beach, you know, in Florida Like Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia, and Rose All my life, I've lived for others Made space for every dream except my own But then one day, I looked into the mirror And saw that I was old and all alone So my advice, don't play nice Don't look back and don't think twice Don't let doubt get in the way of what you want Just roll the dice Stay the course, seize the day Ride your horse into the fray Live your life and tell your story In exactly the same way Truthfully, and without fear Despite those who wish you would disappear Find joy inside your life while you're still here That's your challenge from a sympathetic ear If you're not scared to write the truth Then it's probably not worth writing And if you're not scared of living the truth Then it's probably not worth living Do you understand?
