Stay with me

What did I clearly say?
Children must listen
No, no, please!
What were you not to do?
Childrem must see

No!
And learn
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a prince?

Ah, but I am old
I am ugly
I embarass you
No!
You are ashamed of me

No!
You are ashamed
You don't understand
It was lonely atop that tower
I was not company enough?
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world
Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me
Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too
Stay at home
I am home

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me
Stay with me
The world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child
With me

I gave you protection and yet you disobeyed me
No
Your prince will never lay eyes on you again
He will never lay eyes on anything again
What did you do to him?
It doesn't matter because where you're going
No one will ever see you again!
