Stay with Me Lyrics

Witch: What did I clearly say?
Children must listen

Rapunzel: No, no, please!

Witch: What were you not to do?
Children must see--

Rapunzel: No!

Witch: And learn
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?
Ah, but I am old
I am ugly
I embarrass you

Rapunzel: No!

Witch: You are ashamed of me

Rapunzel: No!

Witch: You are ashamed
You don't understand

Rapunzel: It was lonely atop that tower

Witch: I was not company enough?

Rapunzel: I am no longer a child; I wish to see the world!

Witch: Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me
Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too
Stay at home
I am home
Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me
Stay with me
The world is dark and wild
Stay a child, while you can be a child
With me
