Go Home Lyrics by Grant Gustin

Water for Elephants (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2024

[ENSEMBLE]
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry, hurry
[JACOB]
When I see you
You are as firm as winter soil
But warm
[ENSEMBLE]
Hurry, hurry, hurry
[JACOB]
You are real
You are the world that greeted me
When I was born
You built our home
And all that I owe this life
Was built into its frame
[ENSEMBLE]
Hurry, hurry
[JACOB]
Up from below
But to the dust return before my debt was paid
And how are you gone?
Didn't the world turn on the armor of our home?
Weren't you holding up the sky with limbs of stone?
How are you gone?
When I left you
I was a penny tossed onto an iron rail
There wasn't anywhere
But a busted casket and a bed of nails
And how are you gone?
Didn't the world turn on the axle of our home?
Didn't your laughter stoke the fire that kept us moving on?
How are you gone?
Was it as simple as a jealous man?
Was it as facile as the raising of his hand?
Was it so easy
To utter a command
And loose the toothless lion
On the noble lamb?
Why didn't the Earth embrace them where they fell?
Why didn't the storm ring out their final dying knell?
Why didn't the whole of nature come collapsing down
To bury that goddamn bastard in the deepest hell?
And what do you do
When the people that you love are torn from you?
And there's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can do
[ENSEMBLE]
Go home!
[JACOB]
No, it's not as easy as it sounds
[ENSEMBLE]
Go home!
[JACOB]
There is a lion in your house
[ENSEMBLE]
Go home!
[JACOB]
If you can't get in the door, then bar the windows
Burn it down and listen to the roar
[ENSEMBLE]
Go home!
[JACOB]
Now there's a home to go back to
[ENSEMBLE]
Go home!
[JACOB]
While she's waiting there for you
[ENSEMBLE]
Go home!
[JACOB]
With a knife in your hand
[ENSEMBLE]
There's nothing you won't do
There's nothing you won't do
[JACOB & ENSEMBLE]
There's nothing you can do
[JACOB]
That she won't understand
[ENSEMBLE]
There's nothing you can do (There's nothing you can do)
There's nothing you can do (There's nothing you can do)
There's nothing you can do (There's nothing you can do)
There's nothing you can do
