Alan Menken - Flight into Egypt lyrics

CONGREGATION (spoken): You have to save her! QUASIMODO (spoken): Save her? Me? CONGREGATION (spoken): Oh, what's the matter? Are you afraid? Of course he's afraid! And he should be! But that's what makes you a hero - doing what you're afraid of! A hero, or a saint! QUASIMODO (spoken): You mean like saint…saint…what's your name again? ST. APHRODISIUS: Saint Aphrodisius The Bishop of Beziers I was beheaded by A mob in Place Saint-Cyr And though I made a choice I did not know would bring My grizzly modering I wouldn't change a thing For I kept safe and free The holy family On that flight into Egypt Land of the date and palm I offered shelter To her who is Notre Dame And if that's what I could do Then Quasimodo, you can too QUASIMODO (spoken): But even if I could go out there - how can I find her? CONGREGATION (spoken): The amulet she gave you! But what is it? Just a web and a j**el? It doesn't mean anything! CONGREGATION: No, it must be a clue made with guile and art And she gave it to you because she knows you're smart Think, Quasimodo, is it hopeless Or can you see in it something you've seen before? QUASIMODO (spoken): Seen before...wait, I know this! Look, at this line, that's a bridge, that's a street - and this j**el - QUASIMODO: It must show where we're supposed to meet CONGREGATION: You've done it, Quasimodo This we're certain of QUASIMODO (spoken): It's a map! It's a map! QUASIMODO: Look, it's the city scene from above CONGREGATION: It's a map of the city from above QUASIMODO (spoken): I'll do it! I'll go out there while it's dark, I'll find Esmeralda, and bring her back! QUASIMODO : Just like the angel Who warned Joseph he must flee I'll save Esmeralda Her angel will be me I'll give her sanctuary Somewhere safe to hide Protected at my side A little like a bride CONGREGATION: Like saints in stone and song QUASIMODO: For her I will be strong QUASIMODO/CONGREGATION: And your flight into Egypt May last your whole life long Yes, your flight into Egypt Will last - QUASIMODO: - Our whole life long
