So you lock the door.

But don't you stay that way.

No more living in those shadows.

You and me, we know how that goes.

'Cause once you see it, oh

you'll never, never be the same.

We will be the light that's turning.

Bottle up but keep on shining.

You can prove there's more to you.

You cannot be afraid.

Come alive, come alive.

Go and light your light.

Let it burn so bright.

Reaching up to the sky.

And it's open wide.

You're electrified.

When the world becomes a fantasy.

And you're more than

you could ever be.

'Cause we're dreaming

with our eyes wide open.

And we know we can't go back again.

To the world that we were living in.

'Cause we're dreaming

with our eyes wide open.

So, come alive!

Bravo.

That was amazing.

- Superb!

- Fantastic.

This is bad. The Barnum Museum. A

primitive Circus of Humbug.

"Criminal." "Greedy".

"A circus."

I like circus.

That's right, bad boy.

You are gonna protect

the bearded lady?

Hay... That's enough.

Walter.

- Inside, all! Right?

- Look them run.

- We do not want your kind here.

- Get out of here.

That's right, you freaks.

Your master's calling.

That's quite enough, sir.

Nothing more to look at.

At your service.

You print this review in

every paper in New York.

Half price ticket to

anyone who with it.

Sold out.

Come one!

Come all!

Come in!

Come on!

To anyone who's

bursting with a dream.

Come one!

Come all!

You hear the call.

To anyone who's searching

for a way to break free.

Break free!

Break free!

When the world becomes a fantasy.

And you're more than

you could ever be.

'Cause you're dreaming

with your eyes wide open.

And we know we

can't go back again.

To the world that we were living in.

'Cause we're dreaming

with our eyes wide open.

When the world becomes a fantasy.

And you're more than

you could ever be.

'Cause you're dreaming

with your eyes wide open.

Yeah, yeah.

And we know we

can't go back again.

To the world that we were living in.

'Cause we're dreaming

with our eyes wide open.

'Cause we're dreaming

with our eyes wide open.

So come alive!

Come alive.

Peanuts.

Get your peanuts here.

- Hot, salted peanuts.

- One for me and one for the lady.

O'Malley.

Ah, Mr. Bennett from the Herald.

Come to take in

another show, huh?

Tell me, Mr. Barnum,

does it bother you

that everything you're selling is fake?

Do these smiles seem fake?

It doesn't matter where they come from.

The joy is real.

So you are a philanthropist?

Well, hyperbole isn't the worst crime.

Men suffer more from imagining

too little than too much.

The creed of a true fraud.

Mr Bennett,

when was the last time you smiled?

Or had a good laugh?
