In The Green (Original Cast Recording)
2020
[JUTTA] I used to be broken like you [HILDEGARD] Jutta? Jutta, you were broken? [JUTTA] I used to be broken like you Out there in the world I was too much too Nobody listened when I tried to scream All I've ever wanted is to be free [HILDEGARD] How are you free? You're locked up, literally! [JUTTA] In here, I am in control In here, I am in control Out there, I had everything people out there want Money, privilegе, beauty, a body Out there All my "having" madе me a prize to pawn A patch to plow on a fertile lawn An empty page to be written on But all I've ever wanted is to be free This is the only place I could go to get myself under control To make myself whole And now, I'm gonna show you how [HILDEGARD] Wow, really? [JUTTA] You will be whole... You will be whole... When you are whole, you will be like me When you are whole, you will move confidently Through your life And you will understand how the boulder becomes sand And you will know how to not become sand When you are whole, you will never be scared When you are whole, you will always be prepared For a dragon's attack! And you will slay the beast... or scare him away at least And you will never again be the least [HILDEGARD (EYE)] Why do you want to help me? [HILDEGARD (HAND)] Why do you care? [HILDEGARD (MOUTH)] Nobody believes I can be repaired! [HILDEGARD (EYE)] I did something wrong! [HILDEGARD (HAND)] I'm bad! [HILDEGARD (MOUTH)] There's a reason I'm shattered! [JUTTA] I'll show you how to move on And prove that you're strong What happened in the past doesn't matter [HILDEGARD] If you are whole, what are you doing in here? Why don't you leave? [JUTTA] I will never go back There's nothing out there for me I'm here to find the truth, and the truth will set me free Because if I can teach you how to be whole I will see the light That is my goal When I see the light, I will be free When I see the light, I will erase my history For good, and I will be made new And will be among the few And I will be of virtue [HILDEGARD] But there's no light in here! What do you think you'll find? [JUTTA] It's different, it's something I could see, even if I were blind It's only in this cell that I can find the light And only if you do everything right I used to be broken like you [HILDEGARD] How did you break? What did you do? [JUTTA] It doesn't matter now What matters is, I'm not broken now [HILDEGARD] I can be whole I can be whole [JUTTA] It isn't easy work. You have to get down in the dirt [HILDEGARD] I can do that! [JUTTA] Can you? [HILDEGARD] I will I will work until I die, if I have to [JUTTA] That's the right attitude This is how you become whole You get yourself under control [HILDEGARD] I will be whole I will be whole [JUTTA] Watch Wait Try Dig [HILDEGARD] Watch Wait Try Dig
