Finale: Children Will Listen (From "Into the Woods") Songtext

Though it's fearful,
Though it's deep,
Though it's dark
And though you may lose the path,
Though you may encounter wolves,
You can't just act,
You have to listen!
You can't just act,
You have to think.
There are always wolves,
There are always spells,
There are always beans,
Or a giant dwells there.
So, into the woods you go again,
You have to every now and then
Into the woods, no telling when,
Be ready for the journey.
Into the woods, but not too fast,
Or what you wish, you lose at last
Into the woods, but mind the past!
Into the woods, but mind the future!
Into the woods, but not to stray,
Or tempt the wolf, or steal from the giant –
The way is dark
The light is dim,
But now there's you, me, her and him
The chances look small,
The choices look grim
But everything you learn there
Will help when you return there.
The light is getting dimmer,
I think I see a glimmer –
Into the woods –
You have to grope,
But thats the way you learn to cope
Into the woods to find there's hope
Of getting through the journey
Into the woods, each time you go,
There's more to learn of what you know
Into the woods, but not too slow –
Into the woods, it's nearing midnight –
Into the woods to mind the wolf,
To heed the witch, to honor the giant,
To mind, to heed, to find, to think, to teach, to join,
To go to the festival!
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Then out of the woods –
And happy ever after!
... I wish
