Fifty Million Years Ago

[Potemkin]:
Some people say
That today is the day
When the cold will come
And never go away

[Orphan]:
God made the sun
And the sun made light
And the light cut in two
Made day and night

[Potemkin]:
Some people say
That tonight is the night
When the bird will fly
And eat away the light

[Orphan]:
God had a dream
And the dream came true
And the dream cut in two
Was me and you—
Me and you—
Me and you—

Fifty million years ago
Something in the sea
Reached above thе water
Eagerly!

Fifty thousand years ago
Somеthing on the land
Suddenly decided
It could stand!

Does this lonely road just go to nowhere?
Can it be that there's no reason why?
When in spite of all the strife
And the endless dying
Life keeps reaching higher for the sky!

Fifty seconds from right now
Anything could be!
I'm the future!
Please believe in me
Anything we need
Anything we long for
Anything we dream can come to be!

[Potemkin, spoken]:
Hey! Hey, what are you so happy about all of a sudden?

[Orphan, spoken]:
I'm not going to leave! I'm going to stay! I'm going to fight him— for the girl, for the garden, for everything! The future belongs to me! I'm going to make a new world! I'm going to correct all the mistakes he made. I'm going to make it perfect!

(sung)

Fifty seconds from right now
Anything could be!
I'm the future!
Please believe in me
Anything we need
Anything we long for
Anything we dream can come to be!

Believe!
You will see!
It can come
To
Be!
