[Lyric] The Train to Johannesburg/Thousands of Miles Reprise/The Search (Todd Duncan & Frank Roane)

[STEPHEN, spoken]
If you wish it so much, it may be that I should go to Johannesburg, my helper. I could bring you word of Absalom. It will be good news, that I know. 

[ENSEMBLE]
Johannesburg, Johannesburg
Johannesburg, Johannesburg

[LEADER]
Train go now to Johannesburg
Farewell!

[ENSEMBLE]
Farewell!

[LEADER]
Go well!

[ENSEMBLE]
Go well!
Train go now to Johannesburg
Farewell (Farewell)
Go well (Go well)
This boy we love, this brother
Go to Johannesburg
White man go to Johannesburg
He come back, he come back
Black man go to Johannesburg
Never come back, never come back
Black man go to Johannesburg
Go, go, never come back
Go, go, never come back
Never come back
Never come back
[ARTHUR, spoken]
There's Stephen Kumalo and I haven't seen him for a year. Excuse me father, I want to speak to him. 

[STEPHEN, spoken]
I don't know what the customs are now in Johannesburg, Arthur. But if you had struck me across the face, you couldn't have hurt me more or damaged me more in the eyes of those who stand here.

[STEPHEN]
Not miles or walls or length of days
Nor the cold doubt of midnight can hold us apart
For swifter than wings of the morning
The pathways of the heart
(spoken)
Do you know where my son is now?

[MRS. MKIZE, spoken]
It would be better if you followed him no further. 

[STEPHEN, spoken]
Why? What did he do?

[MRS. MKIZE, spoken]
In the middle of the night they brought things here, umfundisi. Clothes, watches, and money. I think they were near to being discovered. 

[ELAND, spoken]
Yes, Absalom has been paroled, umfundisi. We made an exception in his case, mainly because there was a girl. 

[ENSEMBLE]
This is heavy, heavy for me
Oh, this is heavy
This is heavy
