Glee Cast: Then and Now

We were misfits in the back row
Hand-me-down dreams and a borrowed glow
Nobody told us we could win
We just opened our mouths and let the whole world in

Every hallway was a battleground
But we found a room where we made our sound

I put a gold star on my heart
Sang it loud right from the start
Underdogs with a bruised-up dream
Turned the quiet into a scream
Whoa-oh, we were never gonna fall apart
I still wear that gold star on my heart

Cold hit coming down the hall
We came back Monday and sang through it all
Twelve of us and one piano
Turning every heartbreak into a solo

We didn't need the world to understand
We just needed each other's hand

I put a gold star on my heart
Sang it loud right from the start
Underdogs with a bruised-up dream
Turned the quiet into a scream
Whoa-oh, we were never gonna fall apart
I still wear that gold star on my heart

Some of us are gone now, some are far away
But when that first chord hits, I swear we're back in May
Close your eyes and you can still hear the room
Twelve kids and a piano, singing through the gloom

I put a gold star on my heart
Sang it loud right from the start
Underdogs with a bruised-up dream
Turned the quiet into a scream
Whoa-oh, we were never gonna fall apart
I'll always wear that gold star on my heart
