Tonight in the car, my daughter was telling me about a song from Dear Evan Hansen that one of her friends is always singing. I'm not yet familiar with the entire show, so when she said that it was something about a kid in the bathroom, I just raised an eyebrow and looked at her blankly. I pulled up youtube on my phone, and she played the song for me.
Immediately following that song came "You Will Be Found," the song I had written about last week. I told my daughter that it's my favorite song from this show, but didn't say why. We're about four lines into the song when Lucas pipes up from the back seat.
"Guys, I know this is really weird, but this song totally sounds like they're singing about me."
[Don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry]
"You know what, bud? I thought the same thing. I heard it for the first time right after we met you."
"You did?"
"Yep... and I'm hoping that everything ends the same way as the song ends, too."
He listened to the rest of the song in silence... I heard sniffling from the back seat, but I was on the highway and couldn't turn around to look. By the time we reached the exit, he was chattering again and on to deep discussions about exactly what's needed to make the end portal in the stronghold work.
he will be found.
he has been found.
