Alan Menken & Stephen Schwartz – Out There

Alan Menken & Stephen Schwartz – Out There Lyrics

Artist: Alan Menken & Stephen Schwartz
Song: Out There

The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It’s i alone who you can trust in this whole city
I am your only friend

Remember what i taught you, quasimodo
You are deformed (i am deformed)
And you are ugly (and i am ugly)
And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity

You do not comprehend?
You’re my defender
You are such a monster
They would hurt you if they could

They would call you “hideous” and “hateful” (i am a monster)
Everything i tell you, boy
I do for your own good
I’m surprised to find you so ungrateful (only a monster)

Out there you’d become their prey
Unrepentant, out there, not if you obey
And stay in here
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone

Gazing at the people down below me
All my life, i watched them as i hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life i memorize their faces

Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life, i wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them but part of them
And out there

Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All i ask is one
To hold forever. out there

Where they all live unaware
What i’d give, what i’d dare
Just to live one day out there
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives

Through the roofs and gables i can see them
Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If i was in their skin

I’d treasure every instant
Out there, strolling by the seine
Give me one day out there
Like ordinary men

Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then i’d swear
I’d be content with my share
Won’t resent, won’t despair

Old and bent, i won’t care
I’ll have spent one day out there
