Take On The World (Ballad)

Center your show around the question posed by up-and-coming New York composer Scott Evan Davis -- "Who will take on the world with me?" This ballad version begins with a baritone soloist and intimate accompaniment, then slowly builds momentum until the last 5 climactic a cappella chords. This arrangement also comes with an optional string orchestra pack (Violin I & II, Viola, Cello, Bass).

**Sync, streaming performance, and master licenses are ALL included with the purchase of this arrangement.**

Difficulty
Difficult
I've prepared and I've planned
With no expectation
Wherever I land
It's without hesitation
No turning back
It's now, or it's never
Who will I be when I take on the world?

Who will take on the world with me?
Who will be there to fight
For the things I believe in
Who will love me despite
What I might let them see?
Who will take on the world with me?

I want more than love
I want something stronger
When push comes to shove
It will last so much longer
I need to connect
With someone who sees me
For what I could be

Who will take on the world with me?
Who will stand by my side
Who'll protect and defend
As our two souls collide
Who will stay 'till the end
And we'll take on the world!

I work and I sweat
But still I keep going
Placing my bet
With no way of knowing
If I will get what I want
Or will I be searching forever

Who will take on the world with me?
Who'll be the one that I turn to for comfort
And if I come undone, will they run to be free
Or take on the world with me?

(Scott Evan Davis)
