"You Will be Found" is the eighth song in the Dear Evan Hansen official soundtrack and the eighth and final song in Act One of the musical.
At an assembly for The Connor Project, Evan gives a speech about how no matter what, you will be found. Someone puts a video of this online, and it quickly goes viral, causing The Connor Project to blow up in popularity.
Lyrics[]
[EVAN]
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay
'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand
And oh, someone will coming running
And I know, they'll take you home
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Lift your head and look around
You will be found
You will be found
You will be found
You will be found
You will be found
[ALANA]
Have you seen this? Someone put a video of your speech online.
[EVAN]
My speech?
[ALANA]
People started sharing it, I guess, and now, I mean—Connor is / everywhere.
[JARED]
/ Your speech is everywhere. This morning, The Connor Project page, it only had fifty-six people following it.
[EVAN]
Well, how many does it have now?
[JARED]
Four thousand, / five hundred, eighty-two.
[CYNTHIA]
/ Sixteen thousand, two hundred, and thirty-nine.
[EVAN]
I don't understand. What happened?
[CYNTHIA]
You did!
[ALANA]
There’s a place where we don’t have to feel unknown
"Oh my god."
"Everybody needs to see this."
[ALANA]
And ev'ry time that you call out you’re a little less alone
"I can't stop watching this video."
"Seventeen years old."
[JARED]
If you only say the word
"Take five minutes."
"This will make your day."
[ALANA/JARED]
From across the silence
Your voice is heard
| [COMPANY]
Oh Oh Someone will Come runnin' Oh Oh Oh Someone will Come runnin' Oh Someone will Come runnin' To take you home To take you home Someone will Come runnin' To take you home To take you home To take you home Home Oh |

Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
When you’re broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again
If you only look around
You will be found (You will be found)
You will be found (You will be found)
You will be found
Out of the shadows
The morning is breaking
And all is new, all is new
It's filling up the empty
And suddenly I see that
All is new, all is new
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone (You are not alone)
You are not alone (You are not alone)
You are not
You are not alone (You are not alone)

You will be found
- In the musical, there is dialogue instead of this last lyric.
[Zoe] "Everything you said in your speech. Everything you've done. You don't know how much... What you've given... All of us. My family. Me."
[Evan] "No... I... This is..."
[Zoe] "You've given me my brother back."
Place in the Show[]
At this point, Evan is trying (and failing) to deliver his speech to his class. After he drops his notecards, he remembers something - the tie Cynthia gave to him. He begins to start over with a brand-new speech, and it is taken greatly by the online community (the Virtual Voices).
Reception[]
The song is the musical's main anthem, starting the hashtag #youwillbefound and making it a viral hit. The song has inspired many people, outside of the ones who are into the musical. It is also a popular graduation song. |}
