Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sorry, but I disagree with Ashley!. That part of the song is boring and safe!. It doesn't show off range or anything!. If you can sing 32 bars I'd go with:

What I'd give to return to the life that I knew lately
And to think I complained of that dull provincial town
Is this home!?
Am I here for a day or forever!?
Shut away from the world until who knows when!?
Oh but then, as my life has been altered once, it can change again!.
Build higher walls around me,
change every lock and key!.
Nothing lasts, nothing holds all of me!.
My heart's far, far away,
home and free!.

Those 32 bars will really show off range!. Don't forget to act this out with your voice!. Don't go running around the stage or anything but be Belle while you're singing it!.

good luck!

I'd go with:
Is this home!?
Is this where I should learn to be happy!?
Never dreamed
That a home could be dark and cold
I was told
Ev'ry day in my childhood:
Even when you grow old
Home should be where the heart is
Never were words so true!
My heart's far, far away
Home is too

It'll be the best part that will show your vocal range!. =]Www@QuestionHome@Com
