Lyrics Ben Platt – Found/Tonight
Text:
Ben Platt:
We may not yet have reached our glory
But I will gladly join the fight
And when our children tell their story
They’ll tell the story of tonight
Tonight
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?
Ben Platt:
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
All we see is light
Ben Platt:
‘Cause maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
For forever
Ben Platt:
‘Cause when you don’t feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand
And oh
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
Ben Platt:
Oh
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Ben Platt:
Someone will coming running
They’ll take you home
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Raise a glass to all of us
Both:
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Telling the story of tonight
Ben Platt:
Out of the shadows
Ben Platt (Lin-Manuel Miranda):
The morning is breaking (they’ll tell the story of)
And all is new (tonight)
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
All is new
Ben Platt:
All is new
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
It’s only a matter of
Both:
Time
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
When you’re broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
‘Cause you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again
If you only look around
You will be found
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
And when our children tell their story
Ben Platt:
You will be found
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
They’ll tell the story of tonight
Ben Platt:
Oh
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
No matter what they tell you
Ben Platt:
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us
Both:
Telling the story of tonight
The story of tonight
