You Work-- And Nothing More Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn

Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical (1997 Original Broadway Cast)

1997

[UTTERSON]
You have your work
And nothing more!
You are possessed -
What is your demon?
You've never been
This way before -
Where is the fire
You built your dream on?
There's something strange
There's something wrong
I see a change -
It's like when hope dies
I, who have known
You for so long
I see the pain
In your eyes!
[UTTERSON] [JEKYLL] [Emma]
There was a time Have Have
You lived your life, I You
And no one lived Become - Become-
The way that you did!
You had a plan, My work Your work
You chose a wife, And nothing And nothing
You saw the world More? More?
As very few did!
You had it all - I I
The overall! - Know Know
You seemed to know That's That's
Just what to live for! Not Not
But now, it seems, What What
You don't at all, I'm You're
You have your work - Living Living
Nothing more!... For!... For!...
[EMMA]
Father, you know
Henry won't just walk away
The only way he knows
Is straight ahead!
[SIR DANVERS]
Emma, you've not heard
A single word I've said!
My fear is, he's in over his head
He could lose control
And that I dread
There has been talk:
They say he's gone too far
He's locked himself away
In his own world
Pursuing this insanity -!
[EMMA]
It is his work!
[SIR DANVERS]
It's more than work -
He is obsessed!
The man is driven!
[EMMA]
Just give him time
I ask no more
His work's a crime
To be forgiven!
[SIR DANVERS (EMMA)]
There's something strange. (Just give him time)
Unless I'm blind! (I ask no more)
I see a change
Of a bizarre kind!
[EMMA (SIR DANVERS)]
There's not at all! (He's chasing dreams)
Don't be unkind. (He'll never find)
The problem's all
In your mind!
[SIR DANVERS] [UTTERSON] [JEKYLL]
He has his work This increasing Father...
And nothing more. Isolation only adds
He is obsessed! To your frustration
The man is driven! And it could
Endanger
Your
[EMMA] [JEKYLL]
Just give him time, Career. Who are they
I ask no more. To judge what I
His work's a crime Am doing they
To be forgiven! Know nothing
Of the
Possibilities I see
[SIR DANVERS]
He's chasing Time to awaken And I will
Dreams Before it's too Prove, if I'm
He'll never find! Late Ever
I see a change Permitted to
Of a bizarre kind
[EMMA]
There's not at all! Before you forever Things are not
Don't be unkind. Determine your fate Wrong just
Problem's all What you're Because they
In your mind! Living for Are new!
[EMMA] [SIR DANVERS/UTTERSON] [JEKYLL] [ENSEMBLE]
Still, I pray, Dear, I pray, I pray, If you live around
Every day, Every day, I Here lots of people I
Henry may Henry may May Fear will make
Find his way. Find his way! Find Promises
I pray he may I pray he may My They will not
Find his way! Find his way Way! Honor
My dear and the
I will pray, I will pray I Truth is
Every day, Every day. Pray That it's all a
Henry may You two may I Façade
Find his way. Find your way! May
I pray I pray Find
He may find You may find My
His way! Your way Way!
[ENSEMBLE]
There's a beast at
The door
And he's wild and
He's free but
We don't let him in
'Cause
We don't want to
See what
Is lurking right
Behind the
Façade
