Testo Seen - The Devil Wears Prada Original West End Cast feat. Georgie Buckland
Testo della canzone Seen (The Devil Wears Prada Original West End Cast feat. Georgie Buckland), tratta dall'album The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical
Growing up gay in Kalamazoo was not a walk in the park
Between bullies at school and brothers at home, let's just say it was dark
I literally hid in a closet so they wouldn't see me cry
Then one day on a rack at a corner store a magazine caught my eye
The girl on the cover looked back at me as if to say, hey, I know who you'll be
I read the whole issue right there by the clerk when my runway in hand, my heart went to work
Seen, suddenly seen, in every page of that magazine
A part of me nobody recognized, yes, reflected in the Yves Saint Laurent silhouette
Seen, suddenly seen, as more than a shy and awkward teen
Runway gave me a glimpse of a world where someday I could be seen
I studied designers in detail, kept clippings under my bed
I pretended to play with my GI Joes but made them new clothes instead
At 18, I ran to Manhattan, got hired at a runway like you
Miranda looked over a layout I'd made and said, "Nigel, that'll do"
Thirty years later I'm working among the legends I lived for when I was young
Got a job, my dreams, a partner I love and a life that fits like a Lagerfeld glove
Seen, finally seen, now I'm part of that magazine
Dressing up icons the way I know how
No hiding in closets, I create them now
Seen, finally seen, crowned as prince by the fashion queen
Runway lets me express to the world the way I want to be seen
So sure there's an ugly side to this business
Can be cutthroat, often extreme
But it's worth all the stress, it's worth every cost
If a copy of Runway finds a boy who feels lost
And he feels seen, suddenly seen
If he could learn from this magazine
That being a queer kid's not some kind of crime
In fact, it's pretty fucking sublime
Seen, suddenly seen
Can you imagine what that could mean?
Fashion opens your eyes to the world
I want him to see what I've seen
I want you to see what I've seen
