Merrily We Roll Along [1994 Off-Broadway]
Yesterday is done
See the pretty countryside
Merrily we roll along, roll along
Bursting with dreams
Traveling's the fun
Flashing by the countryside
Everybody merrily, merrily
Catching at dreams
Rolling along-
Rolling along-
Rolling along-
Dreams don't die
So keep an eye on your dream-
And before you know where you are
There you are
Time goes by
And hopes go dry
But you still can try
For your dream
Tend your dream-
How does it happen?
Dreams take time-
Once it was all so clear
Time goes by-
How can you get so far
Off the track?
Why don't you turn around
And go back?
Bend your dream-
How does it happen?
Where is the moment?
With the road-
How can you miss it?
Isn't it clear?
How can you let it slip out of gear?
How did you ever get there from here?
You roll
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
You just roll
Once it was all so clear
Isn't it always clear?
Everybody roll
How does it start to go?
Does it slip away slow
So you never even notice it's happening?
How did you get to be here?
What was the moment?
How did you get to be here?
Pick yourself a road
Get to know the countryside
Soon enough you're merrily
Merrily
Practicing dreams
Dreams that will explode
Waking up the countryside
Making you feel merrily merrily
What can go wrong
Rolling along?
Some roads are soft
And some are bumpy
Some roads you really fly
Some rides are rough
And leave you jumpy
Why make it tough
By getting grumpy?
Plenty of roads to try
One trip
All you get is
One quick ride
Look around a bit
One quick ride
Through the countryside
Stay on track
Never look back
Some roads are soft
And some are bumpy
Some roads you really fly
Some rides are rough
And leave you jumpy
Why make it tough
By getting grumpy?
Plenty of roads to try
Some roads you really fly
Never look back
Never look back
Never look back!
Never look back!
Never look-
How did you get to be here?
What was the moment?
How did you get to be here?
Bending with the road
Gliding through the countryside
Merrily we roll along
Roll along
Catching at dreams
Dreams that will explode
Waking up the countryside
Everybody merrily merrily
Sing 'em your song
Rolling along!
Rolling along!
Rolling along!
Rolling a-
