Out There |
| 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 |
| I’m grateful |
| Do as I say |
| Obey |
| And stay |
| In here |
| I’ll 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 |
