In this song, Schneider reflects that you have to take what life offers — ...

Sally Bowles isn’t a one-trick pony. She’s got a variety of musical numbers up her sleeve. In "Mein Herr", the females play backup to Sally as she leads the brassy song about an overbearing man who tries to tame his woman. Nobody will rain on Sally's parade.

As Cabaretprogresses, discussions about Nazi Germany rise to the surface too. In “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” the congregation sing in unison about the Fatherland. The Nazi-inspired marching song was originally created to warn people about the rise of the political movement; it’s now an alt-right political anthem.
When Sally learns she’s pregnant, she’s unsure of who the father is. To save further anguish, she decides to abort the baby. Cliff tries to convince her to have the baby, but Sally reflects on her life so far. “Maybe This Time” is a haunting ballad that focuses on a woman on the edge of despair.
