[PHOEBUS]
Look, I don't pretend
To be your dearest friend
And I don't like asking anyone for a favor
But Esmeralda's in a trap
And only you can read her map
Don't you think you owe it to her to save her?
Scared or not, we have got to try and save her

Life is full of spikes and thorns
Full of things that wound and chafe
So we start the minute we're born
Learning how to play it safe
Then one day comes a choice that's clear
Comes a choice we're frightened of
And you'll pass it by out of fear
Or you do it out of love.(GARGOYLES: Do it out of love.)

I don't say that someone like you
Doesn't have good cause to hide. (GARGOYLES: Good cause to hide.)
So much pain so plainly in view
Plainly so much more inside. (GARGOYLES: Much more inside.)
Huddled by these...waterspouts

[QUASIMODO]
(spoken)
Waterspouts!??
[PHOEBUS]
Watching life from far above
Why should you go venturing out?
You go out there out of love.(GARGOYLES: You go out there out of love.)

(spoken)
You like Esmeralda, don't you? After all, she's very beautiful

[QUASIMODO]

Kind

[PHOEBUS]

And beautiful

[QUASIMODO]

I like her too. And I believe she likes me

[PHOEBUS]
(spoken)
You're handsome

[PHOEBUS]
(spoken)
And kind and brave?

[PHOEBUS]
(spoken)
.....Handsome

[PHOEBUS(QUASIMODO)]
Esmeralda, now you'll see (Esmeralda, Esmeralda,)
How devoted I can seem (the chance is slim,)
To save you I'm willing to be (but to save you)
Part of this peculiar team.(I'm helping him.)
Will we fail? It's nip-and-tuck
But when push has come to shove (But all I'm certain of)
I believe you're out of luck
Only when you're out of love. (I must do it out of love.)
What I do is out of love
