Out There
The world is cruel
- The world is cruel
- The world is wicked
- It's I alone whom 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
- Away in here
- Remember what I taught you 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 are my one 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 calumny
- And consternation
- Stay in here
- Be faithful to me
- I'm faithful
- Grateful to me
- Do as I say
- Obey
- And stay
- In here
- 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
- Ev'ry 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 ev'ry 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
Nabulol pa nga hahaha
Test lang naman. Uulitin ko pa to. 🤣
