[KERCHAK] (sung)
MY WORST FEAR, I HOLD IT NOW.
I ALWAYS KNEW THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN!
THOUGH HE'S A CHILD IT'S IN HIS BLOOD
AND HE WILL GROW...
SO NOW IT'S CLEAR WHAT I MUST DO.
I KNOW TOO WELL WHAT HE'LL BECOME!
FOR AS LONG AS I DRAW BREATH
I'LL REMEMBER...
[KALA] (spoken)
Where's Tarzan? Where is he???
[KERCHAK] (sung)
NO TURNING BACK, WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.
I HAVE SEEN WHAT THEY CAN DO.
HE CAN'T BE SAVED BY YOU, BY ME,
IT'S TOO LATE!
[KALA] (spoken)
No, I won't let you do this! How can you think–
[KERCHAK] (sung)
NO MORE FIGHTING I'LL BE OBEYED.
I'LL STAND MY GROUND, DON'T DARE DEFY ME!
I KNOW HIS KIND, I KNOW THE TRUTH
I WILL PROTECT US.
NO OTHER WAY,
OPEN YOUR EYES, IT'S THERE TO SEE
NO OTHER WAY,
HE IS NOT ONE OF US AND NEVER WILL BE!
[KALA] (spoken)
...Just listen to me–
[KERCHAK] (sung)
NO MORE TO SAY,
HE IS WHAT HE IS AND THAT WON'T CHANGE!
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY,
I AM LEAVING HIM HERE, AND HERE HE'LL STAY!
[KALA] (spoken)
...He's just a child!
[KERCHAK] (sung)
HE WAS UP IN THE TREES, MAKING A WEAPON,
AND IN TIME IT IS US HE WILL HURT!
[KALA] (spoken)
No.
[KERCHAK] (sung)
NOTHING AND NO ONE WILL STOP HIM BECOMING,
WHAT HE IS AND WAS BY BIRTH!
NO OTHER WAY,
HE WON'T COME BETWEEN ME AND THOSE I LOVE!
BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY,
WITH MY BODY AND SOUL, THIS I VOW!!
[KALA] (spoken)
But I need him!
[KERCHAK] (sung)
NO! NO OTHER WAY,
AND IN SPITE OF YOUR PAIN, IT WILL BE DONE!!
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY,
HE NEVER WAS OR COULD BE, BE MY SON!
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!
[KERCHAK] (spoken)
I won't let him near the rest of the tribe again!
[KALA]
I understand.
[KERCHAK]
Where are you going?
[KALA]
To find him. We'll live away from the family.
[KERCHAK]
For how long?!
[KALA]
For as long as he needs me!
[KERCHAK]
You can't!! I won't be able to protect you! Kala, don't do this, please....
[KALA]
Kerchak... I'm his mother.
[KERCHAK] (sung)
NO OTHER WAY...
I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE, LONG AGO...
AND FROM TODAY,
THOUGH THEY'LL THINK OF ME CRUEL, THEY WON'T KNOW...
THERE WAS NO OTHER
WAY....
