[INTRO - MARIO] When this story began, I thought I was searching For a place that could finally feel like home. I chased every road, Every dream, every horizon, Never knowing where it would lead me. But somewhere along the way... I stopped looking for a place. And I found people. [VERSE 1] MARIO: Every road I wandered, Every dream I chased, Every question I carried Led me to this place. Not because the journey Always went my way, But because I never Walked it all alone. LUIGI: I thought moving forward Meant leaving yesterday. Now I know the past can shape you Without deciding who you'll be. The road ahead is waiting, And for the first time I can see: I don't have to face tomorrow Without the people here with me. [VERSE 2] SOPHIE: I thought I knew the ending Before the story had begun. I thought love was finding someone And suddenly becoming one. But there's more to life than endings, More than dreams coming true. There's a thousand little moments That become a part of you. HARMONY: Hope doesn't erase the hard days. It teaches us to carry on. Sometimes you don't need every answer To know you've found where you belong. [PRE-CHORUS - COMPANY] MARIO: Every goodbye... LUIGI: Made room for hello. SOPHIE: Every closed door... HARMONY: Opened somewhere new. ALL: Every road we thought was ending Was leading us here. And now the road ahead Is ours to choose. [CHORUS - FULL COMPANY] This is a brand new beginning! A brand new road beneath our feet! A brand new story waiting for us, A world we haven't seen! We've laughed, We've cried, We've fallen, We've tried, And every moment brought us here. The future may be waiting, But we don't have to fear. This is a brand new beginning! And we're beginning it together! [VERSE 3] BRENT: I don't know every answer, But I know I'll keep trying. WILL: And when one of us is falling, We'll be there to lift them higher. KAITLYN: There's always room for kindness, There's always room to care. AVA: And maybe being different Is what makes us who we are! NATHAN: I've spent so long believing Everything could be solved. But some things aren't equations. Some things simply have to be lived. TEGAN: I've spent my life behind these walls, Afraid to let them fall. But now I know I don't have to Fight every battle on my own. I'm still fire. I'm still changing. I'm still learning who I'll be. But I don't have to prove my place. I finally know... I'm free. [BRIDGE] TEGAN: Family isn't perfect. It isn't always easy. It's the people who stay beside you When the road gets hard. ALL: We don't know what tomorrow brings. We don't know where we'll go. But we've got every reason To keep moving forward. [MUSICAL BREAK] [Choir, Percussion, climax] [instrumental, dramatic string patterns, brass fanfares. Full Orchestra climax, triumphant] [FINAL BUILD] MARIO: We came here as strangers... LUIGI: And somehow became friends. SOPHIE: Then friends became something more. HARMONY: Something we never expected. NATHAN: Something we couldn't plan. TEGAN: Something we couldn't explain. JOSH: Something completely ridiculous... but I wouldn't change it. MARIO: This story... Was never mine alone. LUIGI: It became ours. MARIO: This story... Was never mine alone. LUIGI: It became ours. [FINAL CHORUS] ALL: This is a brand new beginning! A brand new chapter starts tonight! Every dream we've carried with us Is stepping into light! Side by side, Hand in hand, We'll discover where we stand. We don't need to know the ending, We'll write it as we go! This is a brand new beginning! A brand new chance to grow! The road is wide, The world is waiting, And wherever we may go, We'll carry every memory, Every lesson that we know! Because home isn't just a place, It's the people who come with you! [FINAL CLIMAX] MARIO: So here's to every road... LUIGI: Every unexpected turn... SOPHIE: Every person we were meant to meet... HARMONY: Every lesson we had to learn... BRENT: Every dream! WILL: Every hope! KAITLYN: Every moment we shared! AVA: Every crazy adventure! JOSH: Every party! TEGAN: Every fight! NATHAN: Every question! ALL: Every reason we are standing here tonight! [FINAL CHORUS - HUGE] A BRAND NEW BEGINNING! A BRAND NEW DAY! A BRAND NEW WORLD A BRAND NEW DAY! A BRAND NEW WORLD WAITING OUR WAY! We came as strangers, We leave as family! Whatever comes tomorrow, That's where we're meant to be! A BRAND NEW BEGINNING! A BRAND NEW START! The road may be unknown, But we've got each other's hearts! And if the world gets bigger, We'll meet it side by side! Because wherever we are together, We'll always have a place to belong! [FINAL MOMENT] [Everything drops to piano.] MARIO: We thought we were searching for somewhere to belong. But we were really searching... for each other. [Mario takes Luigi's hand. Everyone joins.] MARIO: And this... is only the beginning. ALL - SOFT: A brand new... beginning... [ORCHESTRA ERUPTS] ALL: A BRAND NEW BEGINNING! [HUGE FINAL CHORD] [BLACKOUT]
