The Moment Explodes
IDINA MENZEL · If/Then: A New Musical 2014 · Track 03 of 21
[Beth:] The engine stops The plane drops The moment explodes
A sudden rush A brute hush And the moment explodes
[Beth & Architect:] The moment explodes
[Beth:] Into thoughts of all the things I've left undone And flashes from a life I've just begun
[Beth & Architect:] Every friend I ever knew, or thought I did The love that I could give, the love I hid
[Architect:] Every stupid, life-before-your-eyes cliche Could I please go out some less expected way?
[Beth:] But none alive or dying crack those codes When the moment explodes
The staircase dips The foot trips The moment explodes
[Passenger:] The dark road curves The car swerves And the moment explodes
[All Passengers:] And the moment explodes
[Another Passenger:] And it reaches to the future and the past To every moment ever, first to last
[Flight Attendant:] And every life I reached, but could not touch
[Flight Attendant:] And every life I reached, but could not touch
[Flight Attendant & Third Passenger:] And everyone I loved, or loved too much
[All Passengers:] And every chance I took, or did not make Connections that I made, or did not make But I'll never take those turns to other roads
[Beth:] Once the moment
[Beth, Flight Attendant & Architect:] When the moment
[Beth, Flight Attendant, Architect & All Passengers:] When the moment
[Passenger:] The engine stops The plane drops The moment explodes
