The Soldier’s Dream Lyrics by Jin Ha, Micaela Diamond

Here We Are (Original Cast Recording)

2024

[FRITZ]
Oh my God
That soldier—
[COLONEL MARTIN, spoken]
That lieutenant—
[FRITZ]
—That lieutenant is so—
[MARIANNE]
Soulful
[CLAUDIA]
Gorgeous
[RAFFAEL]
Dreamy
[COLONEL MARTIN, spoken]
Funny you should say dreamy
You see, my soulful, gorgeous lieutenant had a fascinating dream last night
At ease, lieutenant
Tell us your dream
[SOLDIER]
I was in a café
Which looked somewhat like this
Sitting next to a girl
Who looked something like you
And she whispered her name
I've forgotten her name
But the name was like music—
[FRITZ, spoken]
"Fritz"
[SOLDIER, spoken]
That was it!
That was it!
[SOLDIER]
And you and you were there
And you and you and you—
All wearing shrouds
[ITALIAN WAITER, spoken]
A shroud, anyonе? A shroud?
[SOLDIER]
And then I noticed that you'd all been dead for yеars
[ITALIAN WAITER, spoken]
A shroud, signora?
[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Shh!
[SOLDIER]
Except for the girl with a name like a rainbow…
[FRITZ, spoken]
"Fritz"
[SOLDIER]
Oh, my God!
[FRITZ]
Oh, my God!
[LEO, spoken]
That was it? That's the dream?
[SOLDIER]
Then my mother came in—
[PAUL, spoken]
Of course
[SOLDIER]
She was holding a sheep
[PAUL, spoken]
What else?
[SOLDIER]
And she said to me:
[SOLDIER’S MOTHER]
Honey, stop dreaming!
[SOLDIER]
So I started to wake
But the girl with the name
Took a hold of my hand and said—
[FRITZ]
"Never forget me"
[SOLDIER]
Though how could I forget her
When we never had met?
Then I looked in her eyes
And I thought:
Oh my God
[FRITZ]
Oh my God
[SOLDIER]
It's the end of the world
There is nothing but you
I've been looking for love all my life
I've no farther to go
I want only to be with you
Live with you
Die with you
That much I know
Then my mother came in
[PAUL, spoken]
Again?
[SOLDIER]
And I saw that the sheep was stuffed
And the sky was cloth
And the clouds were just paint
And the food was just rubber...
[CLAUDIA, spoken]
He's right! It is rubber!
[LEO, spoken]
This isn't wine, it's goddamn cherry soda!
[RAFFAEL, spoken]
It's too bad
I was rather enjoying the Brie
[SOLDIER]
Then a curtain went up
And I realized we were all in a play
On a stage
In a theater
[The house lights suddenly turn on with a thunk.]
[MARIANNE, spoken]
Who are those people?
[LEO, spoken]
What the fuck?
[PAUL, spoken]
I don't know my lines
[SOLDIER]
Then I looked in her eyes
And I thought:
If it's only a play—
[FRITZ]
Oh my God
Oh my God, oh my God
[SOLDIER]
—Still, it's given me you
[FRITZ]
Oh my God
[SOLDIER]
I’ve been looking so long...
[FRITZ]
This is not what I need—
[SOLDIER]
You are all that I need—
[FRITZ]
Not yet—
[SOLDIER]
In my life—
[FRITZ]
Not now
[SOLDIER]
Only you—
[FRITZ & SOLDIER]
I don't have any room
In my life— And me—
[SOLDIER]
For now—
[FRITZ]
For this—
For you—
[SOLDIER & FRITZ]
Forever!
All I need is to be with you
Live with you
Die with you I've got
That much I know Too much to do
[FRITZ]
There's just not enough time—
Then I look in your eyes
And I think, "Holy crap
It's the end of the—"
[SOLDIER]
Then a train passed through
[A train passes through.]
[SOLDIER]
And I suddenly knew
It was not just the end of the world
But the end of the play
[SOLDIER, spoken]
And the end of my dream
[FRITZ]
Oh my God
Oh my God
