Our Time by Original Broadway Cast of Merrily We Roll Along Lyrics

[FRANK]
Something is stirring
Shifting ground...
It's just begun
Edges are blurring
All around
And yesterday is done

Feel the flow
Hear what's happening:
We're what's happening
Don't you know?
We're the movers and we're the shapers
We're the names in tomorrow's papers
Up to us, man, to show 'em...

It's our time, breathe it in:
Worlds to change and worlds to win
Our turn, coming through
Me and you, man
Me and you
Feel how it quivers
On the brink...

[CHARLEY, spoken]
What?

[FRANK]
Everything!
Gives you the shivers
Makes you think
There's so much stuff to sing!
And you and me
We'll be singing it like the birds
Me with music and you the words
Tell 'em things they don't know!

[BOTH]
Up to us, pal, to show 'em

It's our time, breathe it in:
Worlds to change and worlds to win
Our turn, we're what's new
Me and you, pal, me and you!

Feel the flow, hear what's happening:
We're what's happening!
Long ago
All we had was that funny feeling
Saying someday we'd send 'em reeling
Now it looks like we can!
[CHARLEY]
Someday just began

[MARY, CHARLEY, & FRANK]
Something is stirring
Shifting ground...
It's just begun
Edges are blurring
All around
And yesterday is done

[COMPANY]
Feel the flow
Hear what's happening:
We're what's happening
Don't you know?
We're the movers and we're the shapers
We're the names in tomorrow's papers
Up to us now to show 'em...

It's our time, breathe it in:
Worlds to change and worlds to win
Our turn coming through
Me and you, pal
Me and you!
[FRANK, CHARLEY, & MARY]
Years from now
We'll remember and we'll come back
Buy the rooftop and hang a plaque:
"This is where we began
Being what we can"

[ALL]
It's our heads on the block
Give us room and start the clock
Our dreams coming true
Me and you, pal
Me and you!
Me and you!
Me and you!
Me and you!
Me and you!
Me and you!
Me and you!
Me and you!
