Alone In The Universe Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Ahrens

Seussical The Musical Jr.

0

[HORTON THE ELEPHANT] (spoken)
I've been guarding this clover
For over a week,
Getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak.
Well, let them all laugh.
I'll try not to mind.
For I have found something
That they'll never find...
[HORTON] (singing)
THERE ARE SECRETS ON A LEAF,
IN THE WATER, IN THE AIR,
HIDDEN PLANETS, TINY WORLDS,
ALL INVISIBLE!
NOT A PERSON SEEMS TO KNOW.
NOT A PERSON SEEMS TO CARE.
THERE IS NO ONE WHO BELIEVES A THING I SAY.
WELL, I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN
AT ONE TIME OR OTHER,
GREAT THINKERS ALL FEEL THIS WAY!
I'M ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE.
SO ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE.
I'VE FOUND MAGIC BUT THEY WON'T SEE IT.
THEY ALL CALL ME A LUNATIC.
OK, CALL ME A LUNATIC.
IF I STAND ON MY OWN, SO BE IT.
'CAUSE I HAVE WINGS.
YES, I CAN FLY
AROUND THE MOON
AND FAR BEYOND THE SKY
AND ONE DAY SOON
I KNOW THERE YOU'LL BE:
ONE SMALL VOICE IN THE UNIVERSE...
ONE TRUE FRIEND IN THE UNIVERSE...
WHO BELIEVES IN ME?
[JOJO, & (HORTON)]
I'M ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE.
SO ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE.
MY OWN PLANETS AND STARS ARE
GLOWING (ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE.).
NO ONE NOTICES ANYTHING.
NOT ONE PERSON IS LISTENING.
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY WAY OF
KNOWING (NOBODY KNOWS THAT)...
[HORTON, & (JOJO)]
I HAVE WINGS (I HAVE WINGS.)
YES, I CAN FLY (I CAN FLY)
AROUND THE MOON
AND FAR
BEYOND THE SKY (BEYOND THE SKY)
[HORTON, & JOJO]
WELL, SOMEDAY SOON,
YOU WILL HEAR MY PLEA:
[HORTON]
ONE SMALL VOICE IN THE UNIVERSE,
[JOJO]
ONE TRUE FRIEND IN THE UNIVERSE...
[HORTON, & JOJO]
PLEASE BELIEVE IN ME.
[HORTON] (spoken)
(softly, to his clover)
Hello...hello?
[JOJO]
(Startled)
Hello?
[HORTON]
(startled as well)
Who's there?
[JOJO]
It's me, JoJo. The Mayor's son.
[HORTON]
I'm Horton. The Elephant.
[JOJO]
Are you real, or are you a very large Think?
[HORTON]
Oh, I'm real, all right. I would state that in ink.
[JOJO]
In my Thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things.
And I go to strange places, as if I had wings!
I love a good Think!
[HORTON]
Wеll, for me that goes double.
[JOJO]
Somеtimes my Thinks are what get me in trouble.
[HORTON]
When you think, do you dream?
[JOJO]
In bright colors!
[HORTON]
Me, too. And I go to strange places
Like Solla Sollew!
[JOJO]
When you think, do you think
You could fly to the stars?
[HORTON]
Little friend, no one else
Could have Thinks such as ours!
(HORTON and JOJO imagine they are flying through the starry universe.)
[HORTON, & (JOJO)] (singing)
YES, I HAVE WINGS (I HAVE WINGS).
AND I CAN FLY (I CAN FLY...)
AROUND THE MOON
AND FAR
BEYOND THE SKY (BEYOND THE SKY...)
[HORTON]
YOU CALLED MY NAME
AND YOU SET ME FREE—
ONE SMALL VOICE IN THE UNIVERSE...
[JOJO]
ONE TRUE FRIEND IN THE UNIVERSE...
[HORTON, & JOJO]
WHO BELIEVES IN ME.
[HORTON] (spoken)
Goodnight, JoJo.
[JOJO]
Goodnight, Horton. See you in Solla Sollew!
(HORTON exits and JOJO goes to sleep. Suddenly, the CAT pops up behind JOJO's bed and shakes him awake.)
[CAT IN THE HAT]
Wake up! The scene's over!
There's more to be heard.
There goes our hero. Who enters?
[JOJO]
The bird!
