Tom Kitt & Lin-Manuel Miranda - Enjoy the Trip lyrics

[RANDALL] I'm a stud now, it's clear So it'll shock you to hear That I was a total dork My freshman year [CAMPBELL, spoken] You? [RANDALL, spoken] Right? (sung) I was a loser, a mess A loner, depressed That every day I had to be me Walked around hoping no one would see me I'd lock myself in the guys' room and let the tears fall Til' one day this custodian knocked on my stall And asked if I'd heard of the band The Grateful Dead— And I thought he might not be quite right in the head— But he changed my life around when he said: "Right now, everything seems so important But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, these high school years Will be nothing more than a blip So, you might as well enjoy the trip." [CAMPBELL, spoken] But it's such a long blip! [RANDALL, spoken] That's what I said! And he said: (sung) "Trust me on this, when you're older And wiser, and balder, and fatter And you look back on this moment in time The only things that's gonna matter is Did you only do what you thought you should do? Did you dance monkey dance 'cause the man told you to? Or did you spend your time doing what brings joy to you? All you see is this old dude with a broom in his hand But I've followed my dreams and my favorite band." So don't sit on your a** waiting for life to begin If you do what you love with your time, then you win! What a long, strange, wonderful trip it's been! Right now, everything seems so important But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, these high school years Will be nothing more than a blip Just a tale to tell [RANDALL & CAMPBELL] That rings a bell So what the hell! We might as well enjoy the trip!
