Track 17: A Happier Day Lyrics by Frankenstein-A New Musical World Premiere Cast
Frankenstein: A New Musical: World Premiere Recording
2008
[Chorus:] A happier day awaits for all Who have enough faith to find it For every cloud that scars our skies A heaven is waiting behind it All of our sorrows are simply the toll That every traveler must pay Upon the road of a thousand tomorrows That leads to a happier day [WALTON, SPOKEN:] Captain Robert Walton, in a letter to his sister, November 9th Though he was near death, gasping for each breath Frankenstein continued his tale It pained me to hear it. So much sorrow. Such great suffering... [ALPHONSE, SPOKEN] ...but there is a time for all things. To reap and to sow... to weep And to rеjoice. And a time to put tragedy in thе past. And today My friends, we gather to celebrate Victor and Elizabeth's engagement [GUEST, SPOKEN:] To the Frankensteins [Chorus, SPOKEN:] To the Frankensteins! [SUNG] All of our sorrows are simply the toll That every traveler must pay Upon the road of a thousand tomorrows That leads to a happier day [HENRY:] See them smile, see them laugh See them dance and celebrate I'd share their pleasure if I could But to pretend would do no good For something here is out of place Haunted and distant, a man possessed He shrouds himself in mystery What is this sickness deep inside? What is it Victor needs to hide? What is this strange insanity? I've barely seen him for these many months But I can guess the reason why Somehow he failed to write his destiny And now he means again to try Not every mountain must be climbed Not every secret must be known And though the future may be ours It isn't ours alone [ELIZABETH:] I feel the world is finally slowing down And I am standing on more solid ground The dream I feared was lost is found At last, or so it seems I know there's something he still keeps from me His wounded heart he guards with secrecy What can I do to make him see That love holds all we need? I know you've demons still to slay We all have roads that we must walk alone But if you care for me, I pray You'll leave your other world behind, unknown [HENRY AND ELIZABETH, OVERLAPPING:] Bound by a duty, I will try (I cannot keep this flame alone) To rescue Victor on my own (The only path I'm left is yours) And steer his pathway to the light (For you the world's an open road) Before he's lost to the unknown (For me a room with but one door Will sorrow be the toll) For all our sorrows are the toll (This weary traveler must pay) Every life's traveler must pay (Upon this dark, uncertain road) Upon a dark, uncertain road [TOGETHER] To a happier day [Chorus:] A happier day awaits for all Who have enough faith to find it For every cloud that scars our skies A heaven is waiting behind it All of our sorrows are simply the toll That every traveler must pay Upon the road of a thousand tomorrows That leads to a happier day
