And it came to pass, all that seemed wrong was now right And those who deserved to were certain to live a long and happy life ever after Ever after! Journey over, all is mended And it's not just for today But tomorrow, and extended Ever after! Ever after! All the curses have been ended The reverses wiped away All is tenderness and laughter For forever After! Happy now and happy hence And happy ever after! There were dangers- We were frightened- And confusions- But we hid it- And the paths would often swerve We did not There were constant- It's amazing- Disillusions- That we did it But they never lost their nerve Not a lot And they (we) reached the right conclusions And we got what we deserve! Not a sigh and not a sorrow Tenderness and laughter Joy today and bliss tomorrow And forever after! I was greedy I was vain I was haughty I was smug We were happy It was fun But we were blind Then we went into the woods To get our wish And now we're really blind I was perfect I had everything but beauty I had power And a daughter like a flower In a tower Then I went into the woods To get my wish And now I'm ordinary Lost my power and my flower (we're unworthy) We're (I'm) unhappy now, unhappy hence As well as ever after Had we used our common sense Been worthy of our discontents- To be happy, and forever You must see your wish come true Don't be careful, don't be clever When you see your wish, pursue It's a dangerous endeavor But the only thing to do- Though it's fearful Though it's deep Though it's dark And though you may lose The path Though you may Encounter wolves (though it's fearful) Though it's deep You mustn't stop (though it's dark and though you may lose) You mustn't swerve (the path) You mustn't ponder (though you may) Encounter wolves (though it's fearful) Though it's deep (you have to act!) You mustn't stop (though it's dark) When you know your (you mustn't swerve, and though you may) Wish (lose the path) You have to act! (Though you may) If you want your wish (encounter wolves) You can have your wish (you can have your wish) (you mustn't swerve) But you can't just wish- But you can't just wish- You can't just wish- You go into the woods Where nothing's clear Where witches, ghosts And wolves appear Into the woods And through the fear You have to take the journey Into the woods And down the dell In vain perhaps But who can tell? Into the woods to lift the spell Into the woods to lose the longing Into the woods to have the child To wed the Prince To get the money To save the house To kill the wolf To find the father To conquer the kingdom To have, to wed To get, to save To kill, to keep To go to the Festival! Into the woods Into the woods Into the woods Then out of the woods And happy ever after!
