Lyric

Though it's fearful

Though it's deep

Though it's dark

And though you may lose the path

Though you may encounter wolves

You can't just act

You have to listen!

You can't just act

You have to think

There are always wolves

There are always spells

There are always beans

Or a giant dwells there

So, into the woods you go again

You have to every now and then

Into the woods, no telling when

Be ready for the journey

Into the woods, but not too fast

Or what you wish, you lose at last

Into the woods, but mind the past!

Into the woods, but mind the future!

Into the woods, but not to stray

Or tempt the wolf, or steal from the giant

The way is dark

The light is dim

But now there's you, me, her and him

The chances look small

The choices look grim

But everything you learn there

Will help when you return there

The light is getting dimmer

I think I see a glimmer

♪

Into the woods

You have to grope

But that's the way you learn to cope

Into the woods

To find there's hope of getting through the journey

Into the woods, each time you go

There's more to learn of what you know

Into the woods, but not too slow

Into the woods, it's nearing midnight

Into the woods to mind the wolf

To heed the witch, to honor the giant

To mind, to heed, to find, to think, to teach to join

To go to the festival!

Into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods

Then out of the woods

And happy ever after!

... I wish...

- It's already the end -
