Title of Show (Original Cast Recording)
A Way Back to Then
Dancing in the backyard
Kool-aid mustache and butterfly wings.
Hearing Andrea McArdle sing from the hi-fi in the den.
I've been waiting my whole life to find a way back to then.
I aimed for the sky.
A nine year old can see so far.
"I'll conquer the world and be a star.
I'll do it all by the time I'm ten."
I would know that confidence if I knew a way back to then.
So, I bailed on my hometown and became a college theatre dork.
I was eastbound and down, movin' to New York.
So I crammed my life in a U-haul to find my part of it all.
But the mundane sets in.
We play by the rules and plow through the days.
The years take us miles way from the time we wondered when we'd find a way back to then.
And when you least expect opportunity walks through the door.
You suddenly connect with the things that you forgot that you've been looking for.
And ther you are.
Right in the middle of what you love.
With the craziest of company.
You're having a kick ass time!
And being who you wanted to be in this world.
You're that little girl with your wings unfirled
Flying again.
Back in the backyard dancing.
I found a way
back to then.
Kool-aid mustache and butterfly wings.
Hearing Andrea McArdle sing from the hi-fi in the den.
I've been waiting my whole life to find a way back to then.
I aimed for the sky.
A nine year old can see so far.
"I'll conquer the world and be a star.
I'll do it all by the time I'm ten."
I would know that confidence if I knew a way back to then.
So, I bailed on my hometown and became a college theatre dork.

So I crammed my life in a U-haul to find my part of it all.
But the mundane sets in.

Flying again.
Back in the backyard dancing.
I found a way
back to then.
