Long Long Road - Jason Robert Brown

Hey now —

I see you got your bags all packed

And your ticket’s in your hand

Hey now —

Look who kept her hope intact

Waitin' 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

Hey, say 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 —

Guess you found your shining knight

Funny all the things you can get on Lafayette Street

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

Hey, say you got a long long road you’re travellin'

And if you feel unsure

Well, I been there before

And you’ll be okay now

Climbin' over ev’ry mountain

Glidin' over ev’ry sea

Op’nin' ev’ry door

But never really sure

Exactly where the traps might be

Sleepin' under scarlet sunsets

Or flyin' at the highest speed —

Ready now or not

All the love you’ve got

Is all the love you’re gonna need!

‘Cause oh, well you got a long long road you’re travellin' -

Gonna take you far far far away

Hey, say 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!

With someone by your side

You’re gonna be okay
