28 Hours / Wherever We Are

28 Hours / Wherever We Are - ‘Come From Away’ Original Broadway Cast

Lyrics by：Irene Sankoff/David Hein

Composed by：Irene Sankoff/David Hein

Twenty eight hours over an entire day

There was one aisle in the middle

Everyone knew every inch of that plane

Twenty eight hours over an entire day

There was one aisle in the middle

Everyone knew every inch of that plane

Twenty eight hours over an entire day

There was one aisle in the middle

Everyone knew every inch of that plane

Tom oh thank God I finally got through

I borrowed a passenger's phone

How are you are the kids okay

No I'm fine Tom

I'm fine safe and sound on the ground here in Newfoundland

We don't know much except for the B B C

Listen I can't talk long can you do somethin' for me

Tell the kids I'm alright take them into the kitchen

And show them the map that we used to put pins in

For each destination that we flew together

Tell them I'm fine put a pin here in Gander

Woo

Meanwhile on our plane we didn't have a clue

We were all going insane because there wasn't squat to do

Then the captain starts apologizin'

Says on behalf of the airline

I'm givin' each and everyone some

Complimentary booze

Open the airplane doors waive at all the cars

Hello to whoever you are

Wherever we are

Something to drink

So the flight attendants brought out

All the mini bottles of liquor

And delivered them to everyone

Soon everyone got friendlier

I took a couple of pictures of the view

There with my camera

We didn't know where we were

But we knew that we were hammered

Open the airplane doors waive at all the locals

Surely there's something better to do than park

Wherever we are

Woo woo hoo ow woo

Open the airplane doors let a little air in here

'Cause I could use a shower or a bar or a bar

Open the airplane doors look at all the planes out there

There must be a convention it's bizarre

Wherever we are

Twenty eight hours twenty eight hours

Out of the window

Twenty eight hours twenty eight hours

Out in the darkness

Twenty eight hours twenty eight hours

Darkness and headlights

Twenty eight hours twenty eight hours

Nothing to see

Near far wherever ya

Nothing to do nothing to see

Thank God we stopped at the duty free

Wherever we are

Somewhere in between your life and your work

When the world may be falling apart

And you think I'm alone I'm alone and I'm so d**n helpless

There's nothin' left to do but drink

We open the airplane doors

Flash all the cars whoo

I've never done that before

Twenty eight hours God over an entire day

Runnin' out of things to say and wonderin' if there's someone

Going to clue us in tell us all what's happening

Because the sun is setting and we're sitting in the dark

Wherever we are

You got through to the airline

Tom I'm okay

Tell me what's happenin' out there

How bad is it tell me everything

Tom who was in the air

No no I wouldn't have known them

No no one on that airline

Charles are you sure

No I'm fine Tom

I'm fine
