Act Two
Scene Five
(still at the party. Brian and Rebecca are in the corner, talking)
BRIAN: Rebecca, I have to talk to you about something.
REBECCA: Okay.
BRIAN: You know I love you, but I'm afraid to get into a real relationship with you. I've been hurt in the past, especially by my father, and I don't really know how to trust people.
REBECCA: What are you saying to me?
BRIAN: I just need more time. I need to heal from this experience... I can't go too fast.
REBECCA: I understand.
BRIAN: Really?
REBECCA: Really. I know it's hard for you.
BRIAN: Thank you. I love you.
REBECCA: I love you too.
BRIAN: Truthfully, I think it would be better if you just forgot about me. You're an amazing person, and you deserve to be with someone who can really help you succeed in life.
REBECCA: Brian, don't you see? I can't just forget about you, I'm in love with you.
BRIAN: Then just give me time.
REBECCA: Excuse me.
(She leaves Brian and goes up to Ginny.)
REBECCA: Mum, can I talk to you for a second?
GINNY: Of course, dear.
(they go away from everyone at the party)
REBECCA: Mum, Brian said he needs more time before we have a relationship, but he loves me. I can't just forget about him. What am I supposed to do?
GINNY: I think what you've got to do is finish
(sung)
What you have begun.
I don't know just how,
But it's not over til you've won.
When you see the storm is coming,
See the lightning part the sky
It's too late to run, there's terror in your eyes.
What you do is then remember
This old thing you heard me say
It's the storm, not you
That's bound to go away.
Hold on, hold on to someone standing by
Hold on, don't even ask how long or why
Child, hold on to what you know is true
Hold on til you get through
Child, oh child
Hold on
When you feel your heart is pounding
Fear a devil's at your door.
There's no place to hide
You're frozen to the floor.
What you do then is you force yourself to wake up, and you say
It's this dream, not me
That's bound to go away.
Hold on, hold on the night will soon be by
Hold on, until there's nothing left to try
Child hold on, there's angels on their way
Hold on and hear them say
Child, oh child
And it doesn't even matter
If the danger and the doom
Come from up above or down below
Or just come flying at you from across the room
When you see a man who's raging
And he's jealous and he fears
That you've walked through walls
He's hid behind for years
What you do then is you tell yourself to wait it out and say
It's this day, not me
That's bound to go away.
Child, hold on
It's this day, not you
That's bound to go away.
(song ends)
REBECCA: You're right. I'm going to talk to him again.
(She finds Brian again)
REBECCA: Brian, I know you need time, and I'll give you that. But there's something else I need to tell you.
BRIAN: Well, I-
REBECCA: Please don't interrupt, just let me say it. Okay?
BRIAN: All right.
REBECCA: (sung)
You've been hurt in the past
But I'm not the one to blame
You think you can't trust
But baby, two relationships are never the same.
You don't know where this will go
But I promise you won't be hurt again
You deserve better than that
You don't deserve all that pain.
I'm gonna love you.
I'll never leave you.
But you have to trust me
You can't be afraid to love me.
Cause I'm not afraid to love you.
Time heals all things
But how much time will it take?
If you keep turning back time in your head
Remembering all your mistakes.
You have to move on
You have to face your fears
You can't live in the past
You can't let yourself drown in your tears.
I'm gonna love you
I'll never leave you
But you have to rust me
You can't be afraid to love me
Cause I'm not afraid to love you.
You gotta let go
Lovin has hurt you once
But it won't be that way again.
I promise you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm gonna love you
I'll never leave you.
But you have to trust me
You can't be afraid to love me. Cause I'm not afraid to love you.
You can't be afraid
You can't be afraid to love me.
(song ends)
BRIAN: I'll try, Rebecca. I'll try to not be afraid.
GINNY: I think we've all learned a few lessons these past few months... or even years.
RON: I think we'll all be okay now.
(sung)
Journey over, all is mended, and it's not just for today
But tomorrow, and extended, ever after!
ALL: Ever after!
HERMIONE: All the curses have been ended
The reverses wiped away
All is tenderness and laughter, forever, after
ALL: Happy now and happy hence and happy ever after!
HARRY: There were dangers
ALL: We were frightened
HARRY: And confusions
ALL: But we hid it
HARRY: Though the path did often swerve
ALL: We did not!
GINNY: There were constant
ALL: It's amazing
GINNY: Disillusions
ALL: That we did it
GINNY: But we never lost our nerve
ALL: Not a lot!
And we reached the right conclusions
GINNY: And we got what we deserved!
ALL: Not a sigh and not a sorrow, tenderness and laughter
Joy today and bliss tomorrow and forever after.
PANSY: Careful the things you say, children will listen.
Careful the things you do, children will see and learn.
Children may not obey, but children will listen
Children will look to you for which way to turn
To learn what to be.
Careful before you say, "listen to me."
Children will listen.
ALL: Careful the wish you make, wishes are children.
Careful the path they take, wishes come true, not free.
Careful the spell you cast, not just on children.
Sometimes the spell may last past what you can see
And turn against you.
GINNY: Careful the tale you tell
PANSY: That is the spell.
BOTH: Children will listen...
ALL: Our hands can choose to drop the knife.
Our hearts can choose to stop the hating.
For every moment of our lives
Is the beginning.
There is no journey gone so far
So far we cannot stop, and change direction.
No doom is written in the stars
It's in our hands. It's in our hands.
We cannot know what will occur.
Just make our journey worth the taking
And pray we're wiser than we were.
In the beginning, it's the beginning
Now we begin...
REBECCA: We're gonna make it after all
Cause after all, look what we've been through.
We're gonna take it to the sky
We're reaching high the way we used to do.
BRIAN: Never be afraid of where you're going
No matter how impossible the road ahead may seem.
Feel the strength inside you keep on growing
And just
BOTH: hang on to your dreams.
ALL: We're gonna make it after all.
(music speeds up)
RON: Everybody look around
Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
HERMIONE: Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
GINNY: Everybody look up
And find the hope that we've been waiting on
HARRY: Everybody's glad
That our silent fear and dread is gone
ALL: Freedom you see has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about, you owe it to yourself to check it out
Can you feel a brand new day
Can you feel a brand new day
Can you feel a brand new day
Can you feel a brand new day
Canyou feel a brand new day!
(song ends)
