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
You mustn't swerve And though you may
Lose 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
Or ponder
But you can't just wish But you can't just wish You can't just wish
No, to get your wish No, to get your wish No, to get you 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!
