2002 Broadway Cast of Into the Woods
Lament
[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 stays untainted from the world
Only I
Only I, who loved you as you were
Only I whose [?]
Than them

No matter what you say
Children won't listen
No matter what you do
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
