Stephen Sondheim No One Is Alone

CINDERELLA
Now you're on you're own.
Mother cannot guide you.
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 can say what's true?
Who knows what she'd say?
Nothing's quite so clear now-
Do things, fight things...
You decide, but
Feel you've lost your way?
You are not alone,You are not alone.
Believe me.
No one is alone.
No one is alone,
Believe me.
Truly...

You move just a finger,
BOTH
Something's bound to linger,
Say the slightest word,
Be heard.
Careful, no one is alone.
No one acts alone.
CINDERELLA
People make mistakes. People make mistakes.
Fathers,
Mothers,

BOTH
People make mistakes,
Holding their own,
Thinking they're alone.
CINDERELLA

Fight for their mistakes-
Honor their mistakes...
Everybody makes-

BOTH
One another's
Terrible mistakes.
Witches can be right,
You dedide what's good.
Giants can be good.
You decide what's right,

CINDERELLA
Just remember:
BAKER

Just remember:
BOTH

Someone is on your side.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD & JACK

CINDERELLA & BAKER
Our side.

Our side-
Someone else is not.
While we're seeing our side-

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD & JACK
Our side....

Our side-
CINDERELLA & BAKER

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.
