Where Am I Now
Winning isn't everything...and when you discover that the egocentric goals you've striven to achieve for so long are actually meaningless in the long run, you find yourself in uncharted territory. This ballad from the 2011 Broadway musical 'Lysistrata Jones' tackles that theme, featuring a lengthy alto solo for the first verse and chorus. It builds from a simple pop groove (reminiscent of "Seasons of Love" from RENT) into a driving rock anthem with huge a cappella moments to show off your singers!

Fight, fight, go team go. What a joke, that much I know. Seems so strange, now it’s suddenly so complex, And I have no clue what comes next. Maybe just some more time, just a little more fight, Like they say, no guts, no glory All and all I did fine or maybe I’m like a hundred miles off course, Well, maybe that was too much, maybe not enough. Maybe I should just turn back now 'Cause how do I go on When everything’s so wrong? Where am I now? How am I here? Which way do I turn When it’s all so unclear? I’m standing alone With nothing but fear Where am I now, now that I’m here? All I wanted was to win Just to feel how it might feel Just to say for once we did it Just to open my eyes and see something different than before So, maybe that was too much Maybe too big a dream Too late to turn back now So how do I go on When everything’s so wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong? Where am I now? How am I here? Which way do I turn When it’s all so unclear? Please give me a sign Will an answer appear? Where am I now, now that I’m here? Is this all there really is Just endless days of making do Putting up with second best Always wanting something new Wanting something better To shake me to my core Something magic, something more I want more I want more Where am I now? Where am I now? I’m standing alone With nothing but fear Please give me a sign Will an answer appear? Where am I now? (Lewis Flinn)
