Текст песни When You're Home - Christopher Jackson , Mandy Gonzalez , 'In The Heights' Original Broadway Company



I used to think we lived at the top of the world
When the world was just a subway map
And the 1-slash-9
Climbed a dotted line to my place
There's no 9 train now
Right.
I used to the Bronx was a place in the sky
When the world was just a subway map
And my thoughts took shape
On that fire escape
Can you remind me of what it was like
At the top of the world?
Come with me!
We begin July
With a stop at my corner fire hydrant
You would open it every summer
I would bust it with a wrench
Till my face got drenched
Till I heard the sirens
And then I ran like hell
You ran like hell
Yeah I ran like hell!
I remember well
To your father's dispatch window
"Hey, let me in yo!
They're coming to get me!"
You were always in constant trouble-
Then your dad would act all snide,
But he'd let me hide
You were there inside
Life was easier then
Nina, eveyrthing is easier
When you're home
The street's a little kinder
When you're home
Can't you see
That the day seems clearer
Now that you are here, or is it me?
Maybe it's just me
We gotta go, I wanna show you all I know
The sun is seting and the light is getting low
Are we going to Castle Garden?
Maybe, maybe not but way to take a shot
When the day is hot
I go a perfect shady spot
A little ways that oughta
Cool us down
Cool us down
Welcome back to town
Now back in high school, when it darkned
You'd hangout in Bennet Park and-
Usnavi would bring his radio
As I walked home from Senior Studes
I'd see you rapping with your buddies
With the volume high
I walked on by
You walked on by-
No pare! Sigue, Sigue!
No pare! Sigue, Sigue! (Woah-oh-oh)
No pare! Sigue, Sigue!
No pare! Sigue, Sigue! (Woah-oh-oh)
No pare! Sigue, Sigue!
No pare! Sigue, Sigue! (Woah-oh-oh)
No pare! Sigue, Sigue!
No pare! Sigue, Sigue! (Woah-oh-oh)
When you're home
Oh the summer nights are cooler
When you're home
Now that you're here with me
And that song you are hearing
Is the neighborhood just cheering you along
Don't say that
What's wrong?
Don't say that!
When I was younger, I'd imagine what would happen
If my parents would have stayed in Puerto Rico
Who would I be if I had never seen Manhattan
If I lived in Puerto Rico with my people
My people
I feel like all my life, I've tried to find the answer
Working harder, learning Spanish
Learning all I can
I thought I might find the answer out at Stanford
But I'd stare out at the sea
Thinking, where am I supposed to be?
So please. don't say you're proud of me
When I've lost my way
Then can I say
I couldn't get my mind off you all day
Now listen to me
That may be how you percieve it
But Nina please believe
That when you find your way again
You're gonna change the world and then
We're all gonna brag and say we knew her when
This was your home
I'm home
Welcome home
When you're here with me
Welcome home
I used to think that we lived at the top of the world
Welcome home
I'm home
You're finally home
