No one leaves for good.
You are not alone.

Though it's fearful,
Though it's deep, though it's dark
And though you may lsoe the path,
Though you may encounter wolves,
You can't just act,
You have to listne.
You can't just act
You have to think.

Though it's dark,
There are always wolves,
There are always spells,
There are always beans,
Or a Giant dwells there.

So it's
Into the woods
You go again,
You have to
Every now and then.
Into the woods,
No telling when,
Be ready for the journey.

Be ready for the journey.
Into the woods,
But not too fast
Or what you wish
You lose at last.
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.
