The Acceptance Song lyrics
by Original Broadway Cast of The Prom
[TRENT]
Flowers accept the rain
And grow more beautiful
Babies accept their mother's breast
So they can grow strong
I accept that I was born a handsome man
So join with me and sing this acceptance song
[ALL]
Let us accept one another
[TRENT]
I know it’s truly hard
[ALL]
We're sister and brother
[TRENT]
Here's what I learned at Julliard
Bigotry’s not big of me
And it's not big of you
[ALL]
Let's all work together
To make rainbow dreams come true
[TRENT, spoken]
Ladies and Gentlemen, two-time Tony Award winner, Miss Dee Dee Allen!
[DEE DEE]
Acorns accept the sun
And turn to mighty oaks
Sperm whales accept fresh sea air
Through their blow hole thing
[TRENT]
Blow holes!
Bumblebees accept they'll die within a year
[TRENT & DEE DEE]
And still they flap their soon-to-be dead wings
[ALL]
Let us accept one another
[TRENT]
Forget your politics
[ALL]
We're sister and brother
[TRENT]
So let's not be total di*ks
Bigotry's not big of me
And it's not big of you
[ALL]
Let’s all work together
To make rainbow dreams come true!
[TRENT, spoken]
Ladies and Gentlemen, the non-equity cast of Godspell and one-time Drama Desk winner, Barry Glickman!
[BARRY]
Accept me
Accept me
Accept me, accept me!
Accept me, accept me
Accept me, accept me
Accept me!
[ALL]
Let us accept one another
Join our fight today
We’re sister and brother
[TRENT]
Make people hear us when we say
[ALL]
Bigotry's not big of me
And it’s not big of you
Let's all work together
Let's make a rainbow!
[TRENT]
And make rainbow dreams come true!
[ALL]
Acceptance, acceptance
Acceptance, acceptance
Let's make rainbow dreams come true!
(spoken)
Acceptance!
