Stephen sondheim no one is alone lyrics

CINDERELLA

Mother cannot guide you.

Now you're on you're own.

Only me beside you.

Still, you're not alone.

No one is alone, truly.

No one is alone.



Sometimes people leave you

halfway through the wood.

Others may deceive you.

You decide what's good.

You decide alone.

But no one is alone.



LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

I wish...



CINDERELLA(To Little Red)

I know... 

Mother isn't here now. BAKER(to Jack)

Wrong things, right things...

Who knows what she'd say?

Who can say what's true?

Nothing's quite so clear now- 

Do things, fight things...

Feel you've lost your way? 

You decide, but

You are not alone,You are not alone.

Believe me.

No one is alone.

No one is alone,

Believe me.

Truly...



BOTH

You move just a finger,

Say the slightest word,

Something's bound to linger,

Be heard. 

No one acts alone.

Careful, no one is alone.

CINDERELLA

People make mistakes. People make mistakes.

Fathers,

Mothers,



BOTH

People make mistakes,

Holding their own,

Thinking they're alone.



CINDERELLA

Honor their mistakes... 

Fight for their mistakes-

Everybody makes-



BOTH

One another's 

Terrible mistakes.

Witches can be right,

Giants can be good.

You decide what's right,

You dedide what's good.



CINDERELLA

Just remember:



BAKER

Just remember:



BOTH

Someone is on your side.



LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD & JACK

Our side.



CINDERELLA & BAKER

Our side-

Someone else is not.

While we're seeing our side-



LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD & JACK

Our side....



CINDERELLA & BAKER

Our side-



ALL

Maybe we forgot:

They are not alone.

No one is alone.



CINDERELLA

Hard to see the light now.



BAKER

Just don't let it go.



BOTH

Things will come out tight now.

We can make it so.

Someone is on you side,

No one is alone.
