Out
there
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, teach you, feed you,
dress you
I who look upon you without
fear
How can I protect you, boy, unless you
always stay in here
Always in here?
Remember what I've taught you,
Quazimodo
Frollo - You are
deformed
Quasimodo - I am
deformed
Frollo - And you are
ugly
Quasimodo - And I am
ugly
Frollo - And these are crimes for
which the world shows little pity
You do
comprehend
Quasimodo - You are my one
defender
Frollo - Out there they'll revile you
as a monster
Quasimodo - I am a
monster
Frollo - Out there they will hate and
scorn and jeer
Quasimodo - Only a
monster
Frollo - Why invite their calumny and consternation?
Stay in here
Be faithful to
me
Quasimodo - I'm
faithful
Frollo - Grateful to
me
Quasimodo - I'm
grateful
Frollo - Do as I
say
Obey and stay in
here
I'll stay in
here
Quasimodo - Safe behind these windows
and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below
me
All my life I watch them as I hide up
here alone
Hungry for the histories they show
me
All my life I memorize their
faces
Knowing them as they will never know
me
All my life I wonder how it feels to
pass a day
Not above them, but part of
them
And out there, living in the
sun
Give me one day out there, all I ask
is one
To hold forever
Out there
Where they all live
unaware
What I'd give, what I'd
dare
Just to live one day out
there
Out there among the millers and the
weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see
them
Every day they shout and scold and go
about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be
them
If I was in their skin I'd treasure
every instant
Out there, strolling by the
Seine
Taste a morning out
there
Like ordinary
men
Who freely walk about
there
Just one day and then I swear I'll be
content
With my share
Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent I won't
care
I'll have spent
One day out
there
