Made of Stone

[VARIOUS STATUES & GARGOYLES, spoken]
Quasimodo you must try to free yourself!
The girl needs your help!

[QUASIMODO, spoken]
Quiet! Go away

[STATUE, spoken]
You're the only one who can save her now

[QUASIMODO, spoken]
You know what happens when I try to help. I only make things worse

[STATUES & GARGOYLES, spoken]
You don't believe that!

[QUASIMODO]
(spoken)
How do you know what I believe?

(sung)
What do you know of me?
What do you know of all the things I feel?
You're only made of stone
Who is it that you see
Instead of seeing what I am for real—
This twisted flesh and bone?

[GARGOYLE, spoken]
Quasimodo, it wasn't your fault—

[QUASIMODO]
You're a liar!

With ev'ry new excuse you try out
You only make me want to cry out
"Would that I were
Made of stone like you..."

[STATUES & GARGOYLE, spoken]
You don't mean that!
Just take some time to—

[QUASIMODO]
You give such good advice
So why has not one single word you've said
Been any help at all?

[STATUES & GARGOYLES, spoken]
Quasimodo—

[QUASIMODO]
And you who sound so nice
The more your dreams and fancies fill my head
The farther that I fall
Shut my brain down!
If I were senseless, I'd prefer it
Another gargoyle on this turret
Spitting rain down
To the stones below

I've wasted my faith
Believing in saints of plaster
But the only one worth believing in
Was my master
He's the one who never lied
He told me it was cruel outside
He told me how I had to hide
His words were cold as stone
But they were true
Not like you
Take all the dreams you've sown
Take all your lies
And leave me alone!

[STATUE]
All right, Quasimodo
We'll leave you alone

[GARGOYLE]
All right, Quasimodo
We'll trouble you no longer

[STATUE]
You're right, Quasimodo
We're only made of stone

[STATUES & GARGOYLES]
We just thought that you were made
Of something stronger...

[QUASIMODO]
And now I'm on my own
Never again to wonder what's "out there"
Let it remain unknown
And my one human eye
Will ever more be dry
Until the day I die
As if I
Were made of stone!
