"I am no longer a child! I wish to see the world!" After Rapunzel says this to the witch in "Into the Woods", the witch sings a song trying to convince Rapunzel to stay with her. This was such a touching scene and to watch it with my daughter, who is no longer a small child, really tugged at my heartstrings!
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.
