1993 Broadway The Who's Tommy the Musical - See Me, Feel Me/ Listening to You (reprise) Lyrics
TOMMY & TEN-YEAR OLD TOMMY: See me, feel me, Touch me, heal me. See me, feel me, Touch me, heal me. See me, feel me, Touch me, heal me. See me, feel me, Touch me, heal me.
(The image of the boy fades away and Tommy is left gazing at his adult self. He turns toward his family, who are a bit wary of him.)
TOMMY: Listening to you, I get the music; Gazing at you, I get the heat. Following you, I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet. Right behind you, I see the millions; On you, I see the glory. From you, I get opinions; From you, I get the story.
(One by one, Tommy embraces Cousin Kevin, Uncle Ernie, and his parents- with acceptance and understanding. They respond hesitantly but are finally exhilarated by this reunion. The family joins the song - even Cousin Kevin.)
TOMMY & FAMILY: Listening to you, I get the music; Gazing at you, I get the heat. Following you, I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet. Right behind you, I see the millions; On you, I see the glory. From you, I get opinions; From you, I get the story.
(Healthfield Gardens disassembles and the family is joined by others, they've met along the way. They face the audience.)
ALL: Listening to you, I get the music; Gazing at you, I get the heat. Following you, I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet. Right behind you, I see the millions; On you, I see the glory. From you, I get opinions; From you, I get the story.
(The others leave the stage as Tommy remains alone with his four-year-old and ten-year-old selves flanking him as he looks out through an invisible mirror.)
