Time
[OLDER NOAH]
Time to get up
Time to get up now
And let the bones
Crack into place
I look in the mirror
I see an old man
But in my eyes
A young man's face

Time, time, time, time
It never was mine, mine, mine, mine
But you know what is?
Love, hope, breath, and dreams
As cliché as that seems

[MIDDLE ALLIE]
Look at this dress
It was my favorite
Because my mother hated it so much
So I'll give it to my daughter
And she'll give it to her daughter
It's a piece of me that they can touch
Whеn I'm gone

[ALL]
Time, time, timе, time
It never was mine, mine, mine, mine
[LOW VOICES]
But you know what is?

[HIGH VOICES]
Sky

[LOW VOICES]
Sky

[HIGH VOICES]
Light

[LOW VOICES]
Light

[HIGH VOICES]
Red

[LOW VOICES]
Red

[ALL]
Morning light
And that is why we fight
To keep going
Keep running
Keep standing
Keep leaning
Keep learning
Keep hoping
[OLDER NOAH]
I wanna run
Like my legs used to run

[ALL NOAHs]
Breathing in, breathing out
My arms stretched out
And I wanna know that my old heart can grow
Like spring again

[ALL]
A new beginning

[OLDER NOAH]
But here I am
The same inside
The paint is chipping
But the foundation's alright

[YOUNGER NOAH and MIDDLE NOAH]
I wanna run
Like my legs used to run
I wanna run to you

[ENSEMBLE]
Time, time, time, time
[YOUNGER NOAH and MIDDLE NOAH]
I wanna run
Like my legs used to run

[ENSEMBLE]
Time, time, time, time

[YOUNGER NOAH and MIDDLE NOAH]
I wanna run to you

[SOME VOICES]
Time, time, time, time

[OTHER VOICES]
Keep going
Keep running

[SOME VOICES]
Time, time, time, time

[OTHER VOICES]
Keep standing

[YOUNGER ALLIE and MIDDLE ALLIE]
It never was mine

[SOME VOICES]
Time, time, time, time

[OTHER VOICES]
Keep leaning
Keep learning

[SOME VOICES]
Time, time, time, time

[YOUNGER ALLIE and MIDDLE ALLIE]
It never was mine

[OTHER VOICES]
Keep hoping

[MIDDLE ALLIE]
Time, time, time, time

[OTHER VOICES]
Time to get up
Time to wake up now
