Stephen Sondheim
First Transition
[COMPANY, variously]
How did you get to be here?
What was the moment?
How did you get to be here?
Dreams don’t die
So keep an eye on your dream
Or before you know where you are
There you are
Roads may wind
And you may find
What you’ve left behind
Is 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…
—When did the road behind disappear?
Where did you let things slip out of gear?
How did you ever get to be here?
