[OLDER NOAH:]
Time to get up
Time to get up now
And let the bones
Crack into place
I look in the mirror
I see an old man
But in my eyes
A young man's face
Time, time, time, time
It never was mine, mine, mine, mine
But you know what is
Love, hope, breath, and dreams
As cliché as that seems
[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
Look at this dress
It was my favorite
Because my mother hated it so much
So I'll give it to my daughter
And she'll give it to her daughter
It's a piece of me that they can touch
When I'm gone
[ALL:]
Time, time, time, time
It never was mine, mine, mine, mine
[LOW VOICES:]
But you know what is
[HIGH VOICES:]
Sky
[LOW VOICES:]
Sky
[HIGH VOICES:]
Light
[LOW VOICES:]
Light
[HIGH VOICES:]
Red
[LOW VOICES:]
Red
[ALL:]
Morning light
And that is why we fight
To keep going
Keep running
Keep standing
Keep leaning
Keep learning
Keep hoping
[OLDER NOAH:]
I wanna run
Like my legs used to run
[All NOAHs:]
Breathing in, breathing out
My arms stretched out
And I wanna know that my old heart can grow
Like spring again
[ALL:]
A new beginning
[OLDER NOAH:]
But here I am
The same inside
The paint is chipping
But the foundation's alright
[YOUNGER NOAH and MIDDLE NOAH:]
I wanna run
Like my legs used to run
I wanna run to you
[ENSEMBLE:]
Time, time, time, time
[YOUNGER NOAH and MIDDLE NOAH:]
I wanna run
Like my legs used to run
[ENSEMBLE:]
Time, time, time, time
[YOUNGER NOAH and MIDDLE NOAH:]
I wanna run to you
[SOME VOICES:]
Time, time, time, time
[OTHER VOICES:]
Keep going
Keep running
[SOME VOICES:]
Time, time, time, time
[OTHER VOICES:]
Keep standing
[YOUNGER ALLIE and MIDDLE ALLIE:]
It never was mine
[SOME VOICES:]
Time, time, time, time
[OTHER VOICES:]
Keep leaning
Keep learning
[SOME VOICES:]
Time, time, time, time
[YOUNGER ALLIE and MIDDLE ALLIE:]
It never was mine
[OTHER VOICES:]
Keep hoping
[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
Time, time, time, time
[OTHER VOICES:]
Time to get up
Time to wake up now
