When Will is upset that his dad Edward has to travel for work, Edward tells him to be brave.
View Lyrics
People say that's irresponsible People tell me stay at home But I'm not made for things like mowing lawns or apron strings I'm my best, when not at rest
So I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two Then comes the day it's time, I'm packing up and I am bringing all my stories home to you
All I can see is miles ahead with miles to go All I can feel is wind and sun and sky Stop for a coffee, make a friend, and pray the day will never end 'Cause there's one more adventure waiting 'round another bend
Where I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two But then a feeling comes Like fifty thousand drums all banging, "Bring my stories home to you"
And I wonder as I wander on the road from door to door Exactly what you think of where I've been
Do you know I joined the circus, met a mermaid, fought a war? Do you know I think of you through thick and thin? Because even though I'm making deals and bringin' people joy I'm usually only thinking of my boy
Out there on the road I pray You'll come to my one day And say, "Let's fight the dragons and then storm the castles 'til we win what needs to be won" So when I'm old and tired, you'll do the job required You'll be there telling stories to your son
And we fight the dragons and we storm the castles And I do the best that I can For everybody knows that's how the story goes To turn each boy into a bigger man
So I'll fight the dragons 'til you can

Matt has a vision for leaving his provincial town.
View Lyrics
There's a song he must sing; It's a well-known song. But the tune is bitter And it doesn't take long to learn!
I can learn! That pretty little world that beams so bright. That pretty little world that seems delightful Can burn! Burn! Burn! Let me learn! Let me learn!
For, I can see it! Shining somewhere! Bright lights somewhere invite me to come there And learn! And I'm ready!
I can hear it! Sirens singing! Inside my ear I hear them all singing Come learn!
Who knows, maybe All the visions I can see May be waiting just for me To say take me there, and
Make me see it! Make me feel it! I know it's so I know that it really May be! Let me learn!
I can see it! (He can see it!) Shining somewhere! (Shining somewhere!)
Those lights not only glitter But once there they burn!
I can hear it! (He can hear it!) Sirens singing! (Sirens singings!)
Don't listen close Or maybe you'll never Return!
Who know, maybe All the visions that I (he) sees May be waiting just for me (him) to Say
I can see it! Say Shining somewhere! Say Let me see it! Say Take me there And make me a part of it!
Make me see Those shining sights inside of me! (Make him see it!)
Make me feel Those lights inside Don't lie to me! (Make him feel it!)
I (he) know(s) it's so -- I (he) know(s) that it really may be!
Just what I always waited for! This is what my life's created for!
Let me (him) learn!

On a mule, in a jet. With your hair in a net. In a towel wringing wet - I don't care, this is where you should be!
From the hills, from the shore, Ride the wind to my door. Turn the highway to dust, Break the law if you must, Move the world, only just come back to me!
Blast your hide, hear me call. Must I fight City Hall? Here and now, damn it all, come back to me! What on Earth must I do? Scream and yell till I'm blue? Curse your soul when will you come back to me?
Have you gone to the moon or the corner saloon, And to wrack and to ruin Mademoiselle, where in Hell can you be?
In a crate, in a trunk, On a horse, on a drunk, In a Rolls or a van... Wrapped in mink or Saran... Any way that you can come back to me! Come back to me! Come back to me!

An adult reflects on his complex high school past.
View Lyrics
And he goes along, Getting hurt, getting mad, fighting fights that are over. And unless I'm strong, All my senses are carried away.
I can feel my hand, my trembling hand, On Michelle's angora sweater. I can hear my band, that awful band, Only now it sounds much better.
I can see a kid, the kid I use to be, On the stage, on the field, in the lunch line. I can feel him tugging at me, Every time I think I don't care, I blink, And he's there again, he's there again.
Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride. To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried.
There again, He's there again.
And I never know, when the breeze'll blow, With a rush of old sensations. Why the kid should wake, And my heart should ache, Every time I smell carnations.
Something rings a bell, Anything at all, All it takes is a slam of a locker.
Or the switch from summer to fall, A change of season seems hardly reason, But there he goes again, he's there again.
Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride.
To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried. There he goes again, Hummin' his songs.
He's there again, There again. There's a kid inside.

God made the Sun And the Sun made light, And the light God into made day and night.
Some people say that tonight is the night, When the bird will fly And eat away the light.
God had a dream And the dream came true, And the dream caught into Was me and you. Me and You. Me and You.
Fifty Million Years Ago, Something in the sea, Reached above the water, eagerly.
Fifty Thousand Years Ago, Something on the land, Suddenly decided it could stand.
Does this lonely road just go to nowhere? Can it be that there's no reason why? When in spite of all the strife, And the endless dying, Life keeps reaching higher for the sky.
Fifty seconds from right now, Anything could be. I'm the future Please believe in me.
Anything we need, Anything we long for, Anything we dream can come to be.
Fifty seconds from right now, Anything could be. I'm the future Please believe in me.
Anything we need, Anything we long for, Anything we dream can come to be.
Believe. You will see, It can come to be.

CAMPBELL You?
RANDALL Right? I was a loser, a mess, A loner, depressed That every day I had to be me Walked around hoping no one Would see me
I'd lock myself in the guys room And let the tears fall, Til one day this custodian Knocked on my stall And asked if I'd heard Of the band: The Grateful Dead -- And I thought he might not be Quite right in the head...
But he changed my life around When he said "Right now everything seems so important. But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, These high school years Will be nothing more than a blip So you might as well -- enjoy the trip."
CAMPBELL But its such a long blip!
RANDALL Thats what i said! and he said:
"Trust me on this, when you're older And wiser and balder and fatter And you look back on this Moment in time The only things thats gonna Matter is Did you only do what you Thought you should do? Did you dance monkey dance Cause the man told you to? Or did you spend your time doing What brings joy to you?
"All you see is this old dude With a broom in his hand. But I've followed my dreams And my favorite band."
So don't sit on your ass Waiting for life to begin If you do what you love With your time, then you win! What a long, strange, Wonderful trip it's been!
Right now everything seems So important But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, These high school years Will be nothing more than a blip Just a tale to tell!
RANDALL & CAMPBELL That rings a bell So what the hell! We might as well enjoy the trip!

Will Bloom, excited about the future of his future child, wishes to strengthen the relationship with his father.
View Lyrics
I'm passing through a rite That every parent does I'm walking on some shared familiar ground Yet every step I take Is not a step that was And I found I like the sound of
Stranger A child I've yet to meet Becomes my everything My song to sing Father And suddenly the weight of it is real What do I feel?
I feel connected In a way I've never known A line from dad to me to new-born son So from today I'll never make a choice alone One for all All for one
And when he's born I'll teach him how to use his common sense He'll listen and he'll learn and he'll excel I'll tell my son That life is lived in clear and present tense Not only in the stories we can tell
My father told me stories I could never comprehend In every tale he'd claim to be the hero I've tried to understand him But I wonder if I can
Because after almost thirty years I still don't know the man I wish I knew the man
But he's a stranger My father is a stranger I know very well A puzzling shell Hopeful What's on its way help us both to grow But I don't know
I don't know when I'll understand What made him wild I don't know why he has the urge to fly I want to face him Like a man and not a child So I'll try I'll really try
And in time, my boy is sure to see Brighter days for dad and me We can do things better than before So that strangers we will be no more

Somewhere there's a girl Who's like the shimmer of the wind upon the water somewhere there's a girl Who's like the glimmer of the sunlight on the sea Somewhere there's a girl Who's like a swell of endless music Somewhere she is singing And her song is meant for me
And her voice It's sweet as angels sighing And her voice It's warm as summer sky And that sound It haunts my dreams And spins me 'round Until it seems I'm flying... Her voice!
I can sense her laughter In the ripple of the waves against the shoreline I can see her smiling In the moonlight as it settles on the sand I can feel her waiting Just beyond the pale horizon Singing out a melody too lovely to withstand
And her voice It's there as dusk is falling And her voice It's there as dawn steals by Pure and bright, it's always near All day, all night And still I hear it calling... Her voice
Strange as a dream... Real as the sea... If you can hear me now Come set me free... Come set me free!

Doria, a pageant contestant, dreams of visiting Disneyland in the future.
View Lyrics
I know you're gonna say the trees are paper mache It's done with mirrors, the magic there Each little birds full of springs, you press a button it sings Recorded music in the air They've had the mountain refaced it's only plywood and paste Go on say it! I'll turn around and tell you I don't care I don't... care
I will live in Disneyland Make my home in Disneyland Maybe it's all fake, That's a chance I'll take It's perfectly ok Someone give me Disneyland Take me there! To Disneyland And when I get to Disneyland I'll stay

Leona, a secretary, arrives in Venice and is amazed by what the city has to offer.
View Lyrics
Some people cry at hellos and farewells, Some people cry at nostalgia with bells, Some cry at weddings, some at the moon, I cry promptly Mondays at high noon. Some people cry at Vienna or Rome, This one is mine, Cookie, this one is home. Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here and cry.
Let's build a city... where should it be? How about the middle of that sea?
Some people cry when they see their old pals, Me, I'm a sucker for chimes and canals. Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here And stand like a lump Dripping wet with no shoes on At noon on a Monday And cry.

Sharon explains her father's theory behind following dreams.
View Lyrics
Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow it over the hill and stream. Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow the fellow who follows a dream. Follow the fellow, follow the fellow, Follow the fellow who follows a dream.
'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child. Oh, the lure of that song Kept her feet running wild. For you never grow old and you never stand still With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill.
So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free. To the east with the lark Tow the west with the sea. And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies. But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes.

Marcy tells Austin that in spite of his many flaws, she still loves him.
View Lyrics
Something, so that I couldn`t live without you And even though you`re just a little bit pretentious Even though you`re more traditional than my dad Even though you drove me crazy from hello You touch a part of me I didn`t even know I had
And so, I need to say I want you anyway I want you anyway Even though this might not be the perfect way to tell you But, perfection never was what I did best Two months ago, I never would have guessed That I`d compare to `you know who` But now I know I belong with you
And even though I think your way of life is different Even though there`s not a single thing we share Even though you`re not like anyone I know You take me to a place I didn`t even know was there
And so, I need to say I choose you anyway I choose you anyway Even though the night when I first met you You were freakish Now look at us, we both have come so far You`re not different I`m not different But, it`s all together different `Cause I love you in spite of who you are
And even though you`re so much paler than my dream man Even though you`re such a dork and I don`t feel the way I should Even though I should stop, well here I go I love you in a way I didn`t even know I could
And so, I need to say I love you anyway I love you anyway Even though

Julia, a waitress, sings about how she can't wait to get married.
View Lyrics
HOLLY I know. Don’t you hate her?
JULIA Hate her? She’s so happy!
(Sung) She turns around And she meets his gaze The lights are dim, There’s a smoky haze They share a smile And a secret wave It’s a moment built to save They start to move Across the floor The room is frozen, Wanting more The happy couple on display With nothing standing In their way It’s so romantic I could die Right here and now It’s gonna be that way for us I know somehow Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true All you’ll need is me And all I’ll need is you
(Spoken) HOLLY Julia, take that veil off!
JULIA Okay!
(Sung) They stop and pose For a photograph He jokes around Just to make her laugh The room is full, But they’re all alone They have a language All their own And I’m so jealous I could cry And yet I know It won’t be long Before you say We’re good to go Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true All you’ll need is me And all I’ll need is you I know not every marriage Lasts when things go bad I’ve seen the warning signs I call them “Mom” and “Dad” But soon you’ll take my hand And pledge your love to me Till then I’ll just get married vicariously
JULIA & WOMEN Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be
JULIA Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true
WOMEN Is coming true
JULIA All you’ll need is me
WOMEN All you’ll need is me
JULIA & WOMEN And all I’ll need is you!

When Will is upset that his dad Edward has to travel for work, Edward tells him to be brave.
View Lyrics
People say that's irresponsible People tell me stay at home But I'm not made for things like mowing lawns or apron strings I'm my best, when not at rest
So I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two Then comes the day it's time, I'm packing up and I am bringing all my stories home to you
All I can see is miles ahead with miles to go All I can feel is wind and sun and sky Stop for a coffee, make a friend, and pray the day will never end 'Cause there's one more adventure waiting 'round another bend
Where I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two But then a feeling comes Like fifty thousand drums all banging, "Bring my stories home to you"
And I wonder as I wander on the road from door to door Exactly what you think of where I've been
Do you know I joined the circus, met a mermaid, fought a war? Do you know I think of you through thick and thin? Because even though I'm making deals and bringin' people joy I'm usually only thinking of my boy
Out there on the road I pray You'll come to my one day And say, "Let's fight the dragons and then storm the castles 'til we win what needs to be won" So when I'm old and tired, you'll do the job required You'll be there telling stories to your son
And we fight the dragons and we storm the castles And I do the best that I can For everybody knows that's how the story goes To turn each boy into a bigger man
So I'll fight the dragons 'til you can
