Alone in the Universe Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty

Seussical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2001

[Horton]
I've been guarding this clover for over a week
Getting laughed at
For thinking that 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
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 don't see it
They all call me a lunatic
Okay, 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 I have wings
I have wings
And I can fly
I can fly
Around the moon and
[Horton & JoJo]
Far beyond the sky
Well someday soon, you will hear my plea
[Horton]
One small voice in the universe
[JoJo]
One true friend in the universe
[Both]
Please believe in me!
[Horton]
Hello? Hello?
[JoJo]
Hello?
[Horton]
Who's there?
[JoJo]
It's me, JoJo, the mayor's son
[Horton]
Oh, I'm Horton the Elephant
[JoJo]
Are you real? Or you a very large think?
[Horton]
Oh I'm real alright, I would state than 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]
Well, for me, that goes double
[JoJo]
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble
[Horton]
Well, 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 can fly to the stars?
[Horton]
Oh, little friend, no one else could have thinks such as ours
[Horton, JoJo, Both]
Yes, I have wings
I have wings
And I can fly
I can fly
Around the moon, and far beyond the sky
You called my name
And you set me free
One small voice in the universe
[JoJo]
One true friend in the universe
[Both]
Who believes in me
[Horton]
Goodnight JoJo!
[JoJo]
Goodnight Horton, see you in Solla Sollew!
