This song by composer Scott Evan Davis asks the question we all want to know of life: "What happens next?" It's been transformed into an uptempo number, with a brief introspective opening soprano solo. The song's message fits nicely into any story show, helping to build the tension as we anxiously await to see what happens next in the plot! Program it right before the show's climax, or even as an opener to introduce the whole show.

Difficulty
Easy
I keep waiting for something to happen
Something that's better than this
I won't close my eyes for one second
For fear that I'll miss
What happens next

I'm constantly running in circles
Never content to be still
I focus on where I am going
But only until
What happens next

Would I know if it stared me in the face?
Is it my own mind that is holding me in place?
Afraid if I move I will stop the chase
What would happen then?

I stand on the edge of a canyon
Looking into the unknown
I'll build my wings as I'm falling
Completely alone
What happens next?

Will I gain control as I fly into the black?
Keeping straight ahead without ever looking back?
Or will I slowly start to crack?
What happens next?

As I pick up speed
I want to succeed
But will I concede?
When all that's left is to be who you are
Exposed by truth
Right behind each hidden scar

If I allow
What happens next
What happens next is now!

(Scott Evan Davis)
