Rent Cast - Finale B Lyrics

Rent Cast Lyrics

"Finale B"
(from "Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[MIMI:]
I jumped over the moon

[ROGER:]
What?

[MIMI:]
A leap of moo...

[JOANNE:]
She's back

[MIMI:]
I was in a tunnel. Heading for this warm, white light

[MAUREEN:]
Oh my god

[MIMI:]
And I swear Angel was there and she looked GOOD!
And she said
"Turn around, girlfriend, and listen to that boy's song"

[COLLINS:]
She's drenched

[MAUREEN:]
Her fever's breaking

[MARK:]
There is no future
There is no past

[ROGER:]
Thank God this moment's not the last

[MIMI & ROGER:]
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or life is yours to miss

[ALL:]
No other road no other way
No day but today

[WOMEN:]
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just to be

[MEN (overlapping):]
Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?

[WOMEN:]
Without you
The hand gropes
The ear hears
The pulse beats
Life goes on
But I'm gone
'Cause I die
Without you
I die without you
I die without you
I die without you

[MEN (overlapping):]
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today

[ALL:]
No day but today

This track is a compilation of several songs of the musical, such as "Another Day", "Life Support", "Without You", and "Will I?".

Mimi comes back to life and tells that she saw Angel in a tunnel, and Angel told her to return and stay with Roger.

Even though Mimi didn't die, their future is not that bright with some of them having HIV or AIDS, which probably will lead to their death soon.

Angel joins the group on stage right before the last line of this song is sung.
