Andrew Lippa - The Witch Lyrics

(WITCH, spoken)
Everyone dies, Edward Bloom, but your death is glorious. Let me show you

(EDWARD, spoken)
Why would I want to see how I die?

(Witch)
What's your concern?
Are you scared of hearing one thing new?
When you could learn
Something secret that could help you through
In one good turn
I can show you counterfeit from true
Life begins when you know how it ends

And yours is no ordinary life

You become important
You're the bravest man around
You're the kind with virtue
Always finding common ground
You climb each hill in front of you
Without a suffering sound
Compassionate and warm
The calm in any storm
(ENSEMBLE)
So, take a chance

(WITCH)
Let me show you how your days unfold

(ENSEMBLE)
And in advance

(WITCH)
You and me can play the hand you hold

(ENSEMBLE)
Now join the dance

(WITCH)
When you gamble then you get the gold

(ENSEMBLE)
Life begins when you know how it ends

(WITCH)
Don't believe the fairy tales
That say life is a breeze
Every man must face a trial
That brings him to his knees
But let me share a magic truth
A proof of all that thrives
The ones who face their fears
Lead the most interesting lives!
(ENSEMBLE)
Interesting lives
Interesting lives!

(WITCH)
So tell me what you want

(EDWARD)
I want a big life

(WITCH)
And tell me what you see

(EDWARD)
I see a road

(WITCH)
And tell me where it goes

(EDWARD)
In one direction

(WITCH)
So, don't you want to see what's next
What's waiting in the void
You may be disappointed
But you may be overjoyed!
So...
(WITCH and ENSEMBLE)
Don't be sad
Don't be scared
Be alert
Be prepared
Take a breath
Take it slow
Let uncertainty go
When you know
How it ends you begin

(ENSEMBLE)
When you try

(WITCH)
You can fly

(ENSEMBLE)
Fly!
