SONG: Out There
ARTIST: Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz
From the musical, The Hunchback of Notre Dame
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
(spoken) 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/I'll stay
In here
Safe behind these windows and
these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below
me
Em Am/E Em E7 (no3rd) A/E F#m7b5 Em
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Em Am/E Em E7 (no3rd) Am/E Em
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 un
aware
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 or - dinar - y men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then
I swear I'll be content
Bb7 Gb(add2) Bmaj7
With my share
Bb7sus
Won't resent
Won't de - - spair
Gm Bb7sus/G Bb7sus/F
Old and bent
Bb7sus/C
I won't
care
I'll have
spent
One
day
Out
there
