Into The Woods Witche S Lament lyrics

WITCH
This is the world I meant.
Couldn`t you listen?
Couldn`t you stay content,
Safe behind walls,
As I
Could not?

Now you know what`s out there in the world.
No one can prepare you for the world,
Even I.
How could I, who loved you as you were?
How could I have shielded you from her
Or them...

No matter what you say,
Children won`t listen.
No matter what you know,
Children refuse
To learn.

Guide them along the way,
Still they won`t listen.
Children can only grow
From something you love
To something you lose...
