The Broadways - Into The Woods - Witche's Lament Lyrics

Witch, this is the world I meant
Couldn't you listen?
Couldn't you stay content, safe behind walls
As I could not?

Now you know what's out there in the world
No one can prepare you for the world
Even I, only I, who loved you as you were
Only I, who's less afraid of her than them

No matter what you say
Children won't listen
No matter what you know
Children refuse to learn

Guide them along the way
Still they won't listen
Children can only grow
From something you love
To something you lose
