Stay With Me

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]

Aargh!

[WITCH]

What did I clearly say?

Children must listen

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]

No, no, please!

[WITCH]

What were you not to do?

Children must see

And learn

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]

No!

[WITCH]

Why could you not obey?

Children should listen

What have I been to you?

What would you have me be

Handsome like a prince?

Ah, but I am old

I am ugly

I embarrass you

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]

No!

[WITCH]

Yes, you are ashamed of me

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]

No!

[WITCH]

You are ashamed

You don't understand

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]

It was lonely atop that tower

[WITCH, spoken]

I was not company enough?

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]

I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world. 

[WITCH]

Don't you know what's out there in the world?

Someone has to shield you from the world

Stay with me

Princes wait there in the world, it's true

Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too

Stay at home

I am home

Who out there could love you more than I?

What out there that I cannot supply?

Stay with me

Stay with me

The world is dark and wild

Stay a child while you can be a child

With me
