Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
I am your only friend
I who keep you, feed you, teach you, dress you
I who look upon you without fear
How can I protect you, boy
Unless you always stay in here
Away in here
[Verse 2]
Remember what I've taught you, Quasimodo
You are deformed (I am deformed)
And you are ugly (And I am ugly)
And these are crimes for which
The world shows little pity
You do not comprehend (You're my defender)
Out there, they'll revile you as a monster (I am monster)
Out there, they will hate and scorn and jeer (Only a monster)
Why invite their curses and their consternation? Stay in here
Be faithful to me (I'm faithful)
Grateful to me  (I'm grateful)
Do as I say, obey and stay (I'll stay in here)
[Verse 3]
Remember, Quasimodo
This is your sanctuary (My sanctuary)
[Verse 4]
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them, but part of them
[Verse 5]
And out there, living in the sun
Give me one day out there, all I ask is one
To hold forever, out there
Where they all live unaware
What I'd give, what I'd dare
Just to live one day out there!
[Verse 6]
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I were in their skin, I'd treasure every instant
[Verse 7]
Out there, strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there, like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then I swear I'll be content
With my share
Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I won't care
I'll have spent one day out there
