[Verse 1: Ben Platt]

We may not yet have reached our glory

But I will gladly join the fight

And when our children tell their story

They'll tell the story of tonight

They'll tell the story of tonight

Tonight



[Verse 2: Lin-Manuel Miranda]

Have you ever felt like nobody was there?

Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?

Have you ever felt like you could disappear?

Like you could fall, and no one would hear?



[Verse 3: Ben Platt, Lin-Manuel Miranda]

Well, let that lonely feeling wash away

All we see is light

'Cause maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay

For forever

'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand

You can reach, reach out your hand



[Verse 4: Ben Platt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Both]

And oh

Raise a glass to freedom

Something they can never take away

Oh

No matter what they tell you

Someone will coming running

They'll take you home

Raise a glass to all of us

Tomorrow there'll be more of us

Telling the story of tonight

Out of the shadows



The morning is breaking

And all is newThey'll tell the story of

Tonight

All is new

All is new

It's only a matter of

Time



[Verse 5: Both]

Even when the dark comes crashing through

When you need a friend to carry you

When you're broken on the ground

You will be found

So let the sun come streaming in

'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again

If you only look around

You will be found



[Verse 6: Ben Platt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Both]

And when our children tell their story

You will be found

They'll tell the story of tonight

Oh

No matter what they tell you

Tomorrow there'll be more of us

Telling the story of tonight

The story of tonight
