Be Safe, Be Good (For Rachel) Lyrics

2016 Off-Broadway
Ride the Cyclone the Musical - Be Safe, Be Good (For Rachel) Lyrics

The song is written by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell.

JACOB RICHMOND:
I never went out swimming
Directly after lunch
I didn't smoke.
No, I'd never text and drive
I always wore my seat belt,
A ​life vest, or sunscreen
I had plans to stick around and stay alive

Button up my jacket when the cold wind blew
I'd brush my teeth at least two times a day
I never sat too close to the television
To my parents, I would listen and obey

CHOIR:
Be safe, they said
Be good

BROOKE MAXWELL:
But things don't happen quite
The way they should

CHOIR:
Oh, Mama...

BROOKE MAXWELL:
You know I've tried my best to toe the line
'Cause I thought at first
That this universe
Had a reason or a rhyme

You can dot your t's and cross your I's
But steady yourself for the big surprise
'Cause sooner or later you realize

ALL:
It's not fair! Not fair...

BROOKE MAXWELL:
Boiled down and simplified
All that you can really do
Is buckle in
And hang on for the ride
