Stephen Sondheim
Into the Woods
Once upon a time
Into the woods, it's time to go
It may be all in vain, I know
Into the woods, but even so
I have to take the journey
Into the woods, the path is straight
I know it well, but who can tell?
Into the woods to lift the spell
Into the woods to visit mother
Into the woods to fetch the things
To make the potion
To go the Festival
Into the woods without regret
The choice is made, the task is set
Into the woods, but not forgetting
Why I'm on the journey
Into the woods to get my wish
I don't carе how, the time is now
Into the woods to sеll the cow
Into the woods to get the money
Into the woods to lift the spell
To make the potion
To go to the Festival
Into the woods to grandmother's house
Into the woods to grandmother's house
The way is clear
The light is good
I have no fear
Nor no one should
The woods are just trees
The trees are just wood
No need to be afraid there
There's something in the glade there
Into the woods without delay
Be careful not to lose the way
Into the woods, who knows what may
Be lurking on the journey?
Into the woods to get the thing
That makes it worth the journeying
Into the woods to see the King
To sell the cow
To make the potion
To see, to sell
To get, to bring
To make, to lift
To go to the Festival!
Into the woods
Into the woods
Into the woods, then out of the woods
And home before dark
