"Turn back, Sarah! Turn back before it's too late." -- Jareth, Labyrinth
But don't, Sarah.

lyrics
You’ve been so young for so long
Been hiding in the safety of your dreams
Your theatrical scenes
Til one day a wish made
Your ego into something far too real
Now you’re part of a deal with devils
So - you let go
Now you know
What it’s like to be a
Star in someone else’s sky
Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
It’s hopeless, makes no sense
It’s not what you expected it to be
Can you ever break free
He’s not like a white knight
He tricks you and you’re saying it’s not fair
But what do you compare it to now
So - you let go
Now you know
What it’s like to be a
Star in someone else’s sky
Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
The center - you enter
You face him and it’s so apparent now
You know he has no power over you
Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
