[MR. PRICE]
You might think beauty comes in spring and sparrow
Or when the sunrise hits the morning dew
But if you walk the straight and narrow
You'll find the elegance and comfort is a—
Do you know what the most beautiful thing in the world is, Charlie?
[YOUNG CHARLIE]
A shoe!

Charlie it's beautiful
For generations have paved the way before you
You'll be next in line when my time is through
And there's a saying handed down I've found of value
That you can tell about the fella from his
[YOUNG CHARLIE]

[YOUNG SIMON]
Feels like I'm dancing across the high wire
Or bravely soaring off into the blue
Just like a rocket looks with sparks and fire
Feels like the magic never ends inside these—
[SIMON'S FATHER]
Take those things off your feet and get inside here, you stupid boy!
[NICOLA]
Charlie, here are the shoes I told you about! Come have a look-see!
Aren't they the most necessary things ever?
If you want to slip a ring on my finger, you'll first slip these shoes on my feet
[CHARLIE]
It's a tad posh for life in North Hampton, wouldn't you say?
[NICOLA]
Then good thing we're moving to London!
And won't they make a fittin' farewell to the stink of cattle farms and tanning leather?
Oh, we may have been born in a small factory town
But we sure as hell don't have to die there!
[CHARLIE]
You see the price? There's three months rent!
[NICOLA]
Pinch 'em or pay for 'em, that is up to you, but these shoes are in my future!
To new beginnings
Hello to sunny days
We're upward mobile now
Goodbye to small town ways
'Til it's impossible to find
A trace of what we left behind
And our defining element is in these
Shoes!
[NICOLA / ENSEMBLE]
The most beautiful thing in the world
The most beautiful thing in the world
Charlie, that I know, I know
The most beautiful thing in the world
The most beautiful thing in the world
Charlie, it's beautiful!

[MR. PRICE]
Your life, your future, is right here at this factory! You belong here!
[CHARLIE]
No Dad, I belong with Nicola in London
[MR. PRICE]
No, you belong here
[CHARLIE]
Will you toast my journey?
[MR. PRICE]
But to leave your home and family for a job shopping in London!
[CHARLIE]
Marketing, Dad
Richard Bailey has offered Nicola and me positions marketing real estate
[MR. PRICE]
You're breaking my heart, Charlie
[CHARLIE]
To you, Dad
[MR. PRICE]
Shoes can protect a man's journey, but only his heart can choose the path
And so a toast to our own Charlie
May you never fail to point your shoes back home
