[Intro — Soft Piano] MARIO: Funny how a moment Can feel like a lifetime… SOPHIE: And how a lifetime Can disappear in a moment. LUIGI: Yesterday we didn’t know their names. HARMONY: Today, somehow… JOSH: We can’t imagine them not being here. [Verse 1 — Mario & Sophie] MARIO: We came from different places, Walking different streets, Carrying our own stories, Moving to our own beats. SOPHIE: Then somewhere in the middle Of a thousand passing days, We found familiar faces In the most unexpected ways. MARIO: I thought I knew the road ahead. SOPHIE: I thought I knew what life would be. BOTH: But somehow everything changed When you became a part of me. [Verse 2 — Luigi & Harmony] LUIGI: I spent so long believing That I had to walk alone. HARMONY: I never thought I’d find a place That started feeling like home. LUIGI: One conversation… HARMONY: One hello… LUIGI: One unexpected turn… HARMONY: And suddenly there’s something here I never thought I’d learn. BOTH: Sometimes the biggest changes Start with something small. [Pre-Chorus — Ensemble] NATHAN: A question. TEGAN: A moment. AVA: A choice. JOSH: A little bit of chaos— Kaitlyn: A little bit of hope. ENSEMBLE: And somehow we became More than we were before. [Chorus — Full Ensemble] ENSEMBLE: Before we know it, The seasons change, The people we were Don’t stay the same. Before we know it, The road moves on, And what we thought would last forever Has already come and gone. But if there’s one thing I know today— ALL: It’s the people beside us That help us find our way. Before we know it, Before we see, We’re becoming something We were never meant to be alone. [Verse 3 — Rivera Siblings] WILL: We used to think tomorrow Was a million miles away. BRENT: Now every door is opening A little more each day. JOSH: We thought we had forever— TEGAN: Maybe we still do. KAITLYN: But look at where we started. SOPHIE: Look at what we’ve grown into. RIVERA SIBLINGS: We don’t know where we’re going, We don’t know what we’ll find. But maybe that’s the beauty Of leaving yesterday behind. [Bridge — Individual Voices] AVA: I didn’t expect you. LUIGI: I didn’t expect this. NATHAN: I didn’t expect answers Wouldn’t always come so quick. HARMONY: I didn’t know that knowing someone Could change what I could see. TEGAN: I didn’t think I’d need them. MARIO: I didn’t know they’d need me. SOPHIE: And maybe that’s the point. ENSEMBLE: We don’t know. We don’t know. We don’t know… [Build — Mario] MARIO: Maybe we don’t have to know Exactly where we’re going. LUIGI: Maybe we just have to keep moving. HARMONY: Keep learning. SOPHIE: Keep growing. JOSH: Keep messing things up— TEGAN: Keep finding our way back. NATHAN: Keep asking questions. AVA: Keep surprising each other. KAITLYN: Keep holding on. WILL: Keep moving forward. [Final Chorus — Full Ensemble] ENSEMBLE: Before we know it, The seasons change, The people we were Don’t stay the same. Before we know it, The road moves on, And suddenly the strangers Are the people we lean on. We don’t know tomorrow, We don’t know what we’ll see— But look around us now… Look at who we’ve come to be. Before we know it, Before we see, A stranger becomes a friend, A friend becomes family. ALL: And maybe that’s the greatest thing That life can give— The people we never expected Become the reason that we live! [Outro — Soft Ensemble] SOPHIE: Yesterday was yesterday. MARIO: Tomorrow isn’t here. LUIGI: But we’ve got each other… HARMONY: Right here. ALL: And before we know it… We’ll be somewhere new. But wherever we go… We’ll take each other with us.
