{FROLLO]
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

I, who keep you, feed you
Teach you, dress you
I, who look upon you
Without fear
How can I protect you
Boy, unless you always
Stay in here?
Away in here?

(spoken)
Remember what I taught you, Quasimodo

{FROLLO(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)
Out there, they'll revile you
As a monster. (I am a monster)
Out there, they will hate and
Scorn and jeer. (Only a monster)
Why invite their curses
And consternation?
Stay in here
Here you will be happier by far
You don't know how fortunate you are

Once, I was as blessed as you
A novice priest in service to
This holy church which was, I knew
My sanctuary

Oh, then my duty called
Paris was burning
Sin, vice, corruption everywhere
For me to rout out there

[QUASIMODO]
(spoken)
You are good to me, master. I'm so sorry

{FROLLO]
(spoken)
Well then, I must be off
{FROLLO (GARGOYLES)]
Out where it's dark (LONI: Out where it's bright)
Out where it's dirty (CHARLES: Out where it's busy)
Out in that morally debauched
And putrefied world
(GARGOYLES: There's such a wide world to share)

I am so thankful for our sanctuary
(ANTOINE: If you go out, it can remain our secret.)
Our secret sanctuary
(GARGOYLES: Oh, if this once you'll go)
I've kept you pure year after year
(ANTOINE: It may be right, CHARLES: It may be wrong)
Knowing that you're always
(LONI: But you will know, GARGOYLES: How you would fare..)
In here
(GARGOYLES: out there)
