LONG LONG ROAD
Jason Robert Brown
Hey now, I see you’ve got your bags all packed
And your ticket’s in your hand.
Hey now, look who kept her hope intact
Waiting in the wings for her trip to the Promised Land.
And oh, I guess you and I know all about new worlds,
And how you’re never quite prepared,
But you - well, you got a long, long road you’re travellin’ –
Gonna take you far far far away.
You got a long long road you’re travellin’,
So just follow that track, send a postcard back
And you’ll be okay.
Hey now, guess you thought it out all right,
How to make your life complete.
Hey now , this is your shining night
Funny how it feels so bittersweet
And oh, it just proves what I say about new worlds,
And how it ain’t worth bein’ scared,
‘Cause you - well, you got a long long road you’re travellin’ –
Gonna take you far far far away.
You got a long long road you’re travellin’,
And if you feel unsure, I’ve been there before,
And you’ll be okay.
‘Cause you - well, you got a long long road you’re travellin’ –
Gonna take you far far far away.
You got a long long road you’re travellin’,
But just start right now, don’t worry no more.
Check the starboard bow, push away from the shore,
And though the river’s wide, you gotta take that ride
And I’ll be by your side,
You’re gonna be okay.
