Tekst piosenki ' On The Edge ' wykonawcy Come From Away (Musical)

[Claude]
Some people spend their days crammed inside shoulder to shoulder
With nothing to do but watch the news
And wait for something to happen

[Company]
On the edge

[Beulah]
We've got the TVs going 24/7 in the cafeteria
And the more they watch the more scared and angry they get

[Company]
On the edge of the

[OZ, spoken]
Some of the plane people haven't slept in three days
None of us have either
And we're jumping at our own shadows

[Company]
On the edge of the world

[Beulah]
Around suppertime on Thursday, people are waiting to use the phones
And there’s a fight in the hallway

[Ali]
Ana Kwyiss Alhamduliallah
El aakl hena helw awi
Hagga Faw’a el wassif
Lekin, fee ness, fee naass kateera hena
Be-yeboosooly
Akiny Irtakept gereema

[Passenger 11]
Hey, hey! What the Hell you sayin'?

[Ali]
I beg your pardon?

[Passenger 11]
You celebrating this?
You praying for your friends?

[Ali]
MaaMa, Laazim ‘afil el sikha delwaa’t, salaam bahibik

[Passenger 11]
Why doesn’t he speak English?

[Ali]
Excuse me?

[Passenger 8]
You telling your Muslim friends where to bomb next?

[Ali]
This was not all Muslims! And I was not

[Passenger 11]
Go back where you came from

[Passenger 2]
I'm Muslim and I was born in Connecticut
I'm an American citizen

[Passenger 11]
You don't look American!

[Passenger 2]
What does that even mean?

[Company]
On the edge of the world or wherever we are
We are, we are, we are on the edge
Is there something I need to do something
To keep me from thinking of all those scenes on the tube
I need something to do 'cause I can't watch the news
No, I can't watch the news anymore
On the edge

[Claude]
FAA keeps delaying opening the airspace
And here on the ground, we're dealing with a whole mess of other problems

[Company]
On the edge of the

[Beverley]
Some of the planes are parked on a runway where the surface is all torn up
That debris gets into an engine and they'll never leave

[Company]
On the edge of the world

[Claude]
One of the big planes, a triple-7, is sinking into the asphalt
If we don't do something, she'll be stuck here forever

[Company]
On the edge of the world or wherever we are
We are, we are, we are on
We are, we are, we are on the edge!

[Janice]
I interview a woman from Queens, a mother
Her son’s a firefighter and they still can’t account for him
She starts crying, and I start crying too, and I can’t stop shaking
I don’t want to do this anymore

[Beverley]
I check in with air traffic control again and it’s more bad news
Not only is the airspace still closed, but there’s a storm headed for Newfoundland!
Hurricane Erin is making landfall tomorrow or the day after
If we don’t get these planes in the air soon, no one’s going anywhere!

[OZ, spoken]
Claude, people are starting to crack

[Claude]
Let’s get everyone down to the Legion

[Kevin T]
Everyone’s going down to the Legion for a drink

[Kevin J]
Hi, have you seen my boyfriend?
His name is Kevin
He’s about this tall and he’s lost his mind

[Kevin T]
I just want to go out!

[Kevin J]
Well, I don’t

[Kevin T]
Well, I’m not going without you

[Kevin J]
Well, I’m not staying for a long time

[Kevin T]
One drink?

[Kevin J]
One drink

[Beulah]
Hannah, everyone’s going out tonight

[Hannah]
You go on without me, Beulah
I need to wait by the phone

[Beulah]
I’ll wait with you

[Beverley]
I keep waiting to hear from the airline, so I’ll just be here by the phone
Tom, if the kids want to speak with me

[Doug]
Bonnie, I know you’re not leaving the animals, so I brought you some chilli
But I really think that tonight, you should come home and get some sleep

[Bonnie]
Doug! Oh my, get in here!
We are about to have the first rare bonobo chimpanzee born in Newfoundland!

[Claude]
Beulah, they need some food down at the Legion, if you can spare any

[Ali]
Miss Beulah, please let me help with the food!

[Beulah]
No, love, you’re a guest!

[Ali]
Please! I am a master chef for an international hotel chain
I oversee restaurants around the world
I would like to help with the food!

[Beulah]
Get in there!

[Diane]
Everyone’s going out to the bar, and Nick is going

[Nick]
I’m going if Diane is going

[Diane]
And I think nobody here knows me!
I can be whoever I wanna be!

[Bob]
I’m not worried about my wallet
I’m not worried about getting shot
I am a little worried about how much Irish whiskey I’m drinking!
