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! [FRANK & CHARLEY] Up to us, pal, to show 'em... 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 some day we'd send 'em reeling Now it looks like we can! [CHARLEY] Some day just began... [FRANK & CHARLEY] It's our heads on the block Give us room and start the clock Our time coming through! Me and you, pal Me and you! Me and you! [CHARLEY, spoken] There! [FRANK, spoken] There it is! [MARY, spoken] Don't say it for me.  [CHARLEY, spoken] You call it "Sputnik." [FRANK, spoken] You call it a miracle.  [CHARLEY, spoken] We're standing on the threshold of the future.  [FRANK, spoken] We gotta be the luckiest people who ever lived. After this moment, this moment that the three of us are sharing here together, nothing's ever gonna be the way it was ever again. You guys realize that now we're gonna be able to do anything? Anything we ever dreamed of? What a time to be starting out. What a time to be alive.  (sung) Something is stirring Shifting ground It's just begun [CHARLEY] Edges are blurring All around And yesterday is done [MARY] Feel the flow Hear what's happening [FRANK, CHARLEY & MARY] 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! 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" [COMPANY] It's our heads on the block Give us room and start the clock Our dream 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!
