the devil wears prada original west end cast - seen lyrics

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 her

seen
suddenly seen
in every page of that magazine
a part of me n0body rеcognized yet
reflеcted in that yves saint laurent’s 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 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 of 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, f+cking 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
