[00:00.858]Finale: Children Will Listen
[00:03.694]Jack's Mother: The slotted spoon CAN catch the potato...
[00:07.126]Mysterious Man: Every knot was once straight rope..
[00:11.356]Princes: The harder to wake, the better to have..
[00:12.687]Snow White, Sleeping Beauty: (Yawn) Excuse me.
[00:14.765]Steward: The greater the good, the harder the blow..
[00:18.300]Stepmother: When going to hide, know how to get there.
[00:20.834]Cinderella's Father: And how to get back..
[00:22.343]Florinda, Lucinda: And eat first..
[00:25.613]Granny: The knife that is sharp today may be dull by tomorrow..
[00:29.362]Rapunzel: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah..
[00:36.862]Baker: Maybe I just wasn't meant to have children--
[00:40.722]Wife: Don't say that! Of course you were meant to have children..
[00:42.762]Baker: But how will I go about being a father
[00:44.675]With no one to mother my child?
[00:46.274]Wife: Just calm the child.
[00:48.123]Baker: Yes, calm the child.
[00:50.227]Wife: Look, tell him the story of how it all happened.
[00:52.934]Be father and mother, you'll know what to do.
[00:55.734]Baker: Alone..
[00:59.504]Wife: Sometimes people leave you
[01:04.443]Halfway through the wood.
[01:07.804]Do not let it grieve you,
[01:12.425]No one leaves for good.
[01:15.788]You are not alone.
[01:18.824]No one is alone.
[01:24.094]Hold him to the light now,
[01:30.294]Let him see the glow.
[01:34.855]Things will be all right now.
[01:39.083]Tell him what you know..
[01:43.024]Baker: Shhh. Once upon a time...in a far-off kingdom...lived a young
[01:53.013]maiden...a sad young lad..and a childless baker...with his wife.
[01:54.718]Witch [simultaneously with Baker]:
[01:55.495]Careful the things you say,
[01:58.394]Children will listen.
[02:03.094]Careful the things you do,
[02:05.674]Children will see.
[02:09.425]And learn.
[02:13.408]Guide them along the way,
[02:17.140]Children will glisten.
[02:21.210]Children will look to you
[02:24.198]For which way to turn,
[02:27.518]To learn what to be.
[02:32.009]Careful before you say,
[02:34.461]"Listen to me."
[02:37.858]Children will listen.
[02:42.347]Company: (SLOW)Careful the wish you make,
[02:45.877]Wishes are children.
[02:49.650]Careful the path they take,
[02:52.150]Wishes come true,
[02:56.057]Not free.
[03:03.789]Careful the spell you cast,
[03:06.599]Not just on children.
[03:10.448]Sometimes the spell may last
[03:13.399]Past what you can see
[03:16.978]And turn against you...
[03:20.961]Witch: Careful the tale you tell.
[03:23.509]That is the spell.
[03:27.667]Children will listen..
[03:30.458]Company [in three groups: round](FAST): Though it's fearful,
[03:31.417]Though it's deep, though it's dark
[03:32.389]And though you may lose the path,
[03:33.685]Though you may encounter wolves,
[03:35.415]You can't just act,
[03:36.758]You have to listen.
[03:37.806]you can't just act,
[03:38.312]You have to think.
[03:39.663]Though it's dark,
[03:42.732]There are always wolves,
[03:43.643]There are always spells,
[03:44.515]There are always beans,
[03:45.603]Or a giant dwells there.{unison]
[03:46.643]So into the woods you go again,
[03:48.433]You have to every now and then.
[03:50.254]Into the woods, no telling when,
[03:51.823]Be ready for the journey.
[03:54.082]Into the woods, but not too fast
[03:55.603]or what you wish, you lose at last.
[03:57.583]Into the woods, but mind the past.
[03:59.432]Into the woods, but mind the future.
[04:01.155]Into the woods, but not to stray,
[04:03.293]Or tempt the wolf, or steal from the giant--
[04:04.823]The way is dark,
[04:06.843]The light is dim,
[04:08.754]But now there's you, me, her, and him.
[04:12.086]The chances look small,
[04:13.953]The choices look grim,
[04:15.798]But everything you learn there
[04:17.683]Will help when you return there.
[04:19.864]Baker, Jack, Cinderella, LRRH: The light is getting dimmer..
[04:21.534]Baker: I think I see a glimmer--
[04:30.724]All: Into the woods--you have to grope,
[04:32.442]But that's the way you learn to cope.
[04:34.083]Into the woods to find there's hope
[04:35.885]Of getting through the journey.
[04:37.895]Into the woods, each time you go,
[04:39.423]There's more to learn of what you know.
[04:41.122]Into the woods, but not too slow--
[04:43.356]Into the woods, it's nearing midnight--
[04:45.015]Into the woods to mind the wolf,
[04:46.517]To heed the witch, to honor the giant,
[04:48.514]To mind, to heed, to find, to think, to teach, to join, to go to the Festival!
[04:52.466]Into the woods,
[04:54.306]Into the woods,
[04:56.144]Into the woods,
[04:57.076]Then out of the woods--
[05:01.514]And happy ever after!
[05:03.403]Cinderella: I wish...
