Stop the World - ‘Come From Away’ Original Broadway Cast
Stop the world
Take a picture
Try to capture
To ensure this moment lasts
We're still in it but
In a minute
That's the limit
And this present will be past
So here we are
Where the world has come together
So here she'll be
In this picture forever
Look at this five hundred and forty
Million years ago the continents of the worl
Crashed together right here
And two hundred million years ago
They separated again
Moving apart from each other
Huh
But a little part of them was left behind
I should move you're missing all the scenery
No no no stay where you are
Really
Really it's perfect
Stop the world
Seize the moment
But the minute he goes you're alone and it's through
Pinch yourself
Tell yourself
You're just dreaming
That means he'll forget about you
But here we are
Where the continents once crashed together
Before they went their separate ways forever so
Stop the world
Stop the world
Stop the world
Stop the world
Stop the world
From spinning 'round ahhh
I wanna look out
Overlooking something
Worth taking the time
To stop flying by and look down
And look down stop the world
Stopping to stare and look 'round
And look 'round stop the world
Just tell him now ahhh
And look down
Take a picture
Of the scenery
Of a lookout
Of a moment
Which is over
Of the ocean
Of the river
Of the trees
Stop the world
