***SPOILER ALERT***











Sofia put's her acting chops to good use In an interview with local news. But rather than enjoying her newfound spotlight, she simply realizes that even if her friends are being strange, all the way across the country they are all she has and they mean the world to her.

If everybody would just have a bit more compassion (and $50,000) we could all be heroes.

lyrics

SOFIA: Of course it was scary.
Of course it was hard.
But when a fellow human being’s in danger...
I just can’t disregard.

What it is that we owe.
What we owe to each other.
And there’s no price tag for that
we can’t over come.

I’m not a hero. I just acted like one.

Of course it was risky.
Of course now I’m on the line.
But if a kidnapper now knows my home address...
I promise I’ll be fine.

'Cause I didn’t do
Something you wouldn’t have done!
Anyone with fifty thousand dollars can be a hero
If you just act like one.

When I knew that my friend was truly in danger I had to act
And if and when I find myself here again, I’ll know how to... react

And even if we’d been strangers, down on our luck
Regardless race, age or gender- though that’s a construct
Now matter how for away you gotta keep your friends stuck in your heart…

No matter how far…

Sorry, what was I saying?

Maybe it’s unrealistic…
Maybe my world’s just my own….
Maybe it isn’t always simple, clear, and easy...
I know, I wouldn’t know.

But I like to think…
No I have to believe.
That if I’m always there for someone else,
someone will be there for me.
