From "Into the Woods"

That musical is beautiful, in its own way. Excerpts from my favorite song in the musical. Whole text behind the cut.

I remember...
"Sometimes people leave you.
Halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide whats good.
You decide alone.
But no one is alone."

"Who can say what's true?
Nothings quite so clear now"

"People make mistakes.
Fathers, Mothers,
People make mistakes,
Holding to their own,
Thinking they're alone.

Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
Fight for their mistakes

One another's terrible mistakes."

"Hard to see the light now...
Just don't let it go..."

I don't think it's too hard to see why I like it. :-D Have a lovely evening.

"No One is Alone" from Into the Woods

Cinderella:
Mother cannot guide you.
Now you're on your own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not alone.
No one is alone. Truly.
No one is alone.
Sometimes people leave you.
Halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide whats good.
You decide alone.
But no one is alone.

Little Red Riding Hood:
I wish..
Cinderella:
I know.
Mother isn't here now
Baker:
Wrong things, right things
Cinderella:
Who knows what she'd say?
Baker:
Who can say what's true?
Cinderella:
Nothings quite so clear now.
Baker:
Do things, fight things,
Cinderella:
Feel you've lost your way?

Baker:
You decide, but
Both:
You are not alone
Cinderella:
Believe me,
No one is alone
Baker:
No one is alone.
Believe me.
Cinderella:
Truly

Both:
You move just a finger,
Say the slightest word,
Somethings bound to linger
Be heard
Baker:
No one acts alone.
Careful.
No one is alone.

Both:
People make mistakes.
Baker:
Fathers,
Cinderella:
Mothers,
Both:
People make mistakes,
Holding to their own,
Thinking they're alone.

Cinderella:
Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
Baker:
Fight for their mistakes
Both:
One another's terrible mistakes.
Witches can be right, Giants can be good.
You decide what's right you decide what's good

Cinderella:
Just remember:
Baker:
[Echo] Just remember:
Both:
Someone is on your side
Jack, LRRH:
OUR side
Baker, Cinderella:
Our side--
Someone else is not
While we're seeing our side
Jack, LRRH:
Our side..
Baker, Cinderella:
Our side--
All:
Maybe we forgot: they are not alone.
No one is alone.

Cinderella:
Hard to see the light now.
Baker:
Just don't let it go
Both:
Things will come out right now.
We can make it so.
Someone is on your side-- [interrupted]
