    Since I couldn't find the updated lyrics anywhere:
    Drove out of town, took a right onto a northbound highway.
    Was it really only yesterday.
    If I had known what now I know maybe I
    Would have taken a moment.
    Maybe looked over my shoulder.
    Maybe shed a tear.
    Now I'm here.
    A storm rolled in, overwhelm you sometime late this morning.
    Think I ignored the warnings.
    I spent a lifetime seeking signs, reading lines,
    Trying to forecast the future.
    Always stayed a day ahead.
    Well that was the idea.
    Now I'm here.
    I thought I'd seen it all, but sure by now I knew this place.
    I swear that I knew every hair, each line upon your face.
    I thought the only way to better days was through tomorrow,
    But I know now that I know.
    Yes I know now that I know nothing.
    But I'm here.
    And I'm fine.
    And I'm seeing you for the first time.
    I'm alright.
    And I'm seeing you for the first time.
    I thought I'd seen it all before,
    I thought I knew everything there was to know.
    And I was sure.
    I thought the only way to better days was through tomorrow.
    But I know now that I know nothing.
    Yes I know now that I know,
    That I'm here. I'm fine.
    And I'm seeing you for the first time.
    I'm alright.
    And I'm seeing you.

    This is such a great finale! After listening to the whole soundtrack, I think it really caps the entire musical off super well and it sticks with you!
