Ever After

And it came to pass
 All that seemed wrong was now right
 The kingdoms were filled with joy
 And those who deserved to
 Were certain to live a long and happy life
 Ever after
 Ever after!
 Journey over, all is mended
 And it's not just for today
 But tomorrow, and extended
 Ever after
 Ever after!
 All the curses have been ended
 The reverses wiped away
 All is tenderness and laughter
 For forever after
 Happy now and happy hence and happy ever after!
 There were dangers (We were frightened)
 And confusions (But we hid it)
 And the paths would often swerve (We did not)
 There were constant (It's amazing)
 Disillusions (That we did it)
 But they never lost their nerve (Not a lot)
 And they (we) reached the right conclusions
 And we (they) got what we (they) deserve
 Not a sigh and not a sorrow
 Tenderness and laughter
 Joy today and bliss tomorrow
 And forever after
 I was greedy
 I was vain
 I was haughty, I was smug, we were happy
 It was fun
 But we were blind
 Then we went into the woods
 To get our wish
 And now we're really blind
 I was perfect
 I had everything but beauty
 I had power
 And a daughter like a flower
 In a tower
 Then I went into the woods
 To get my wish
 And now I'm ordinary
 Lost my power, and my flower (We're unworthy)
 We're (I'm) unhappy now, unhappy hence
 As well as ever after
 Had we used our common sense
 Been worthy of our discontents
 To be happy, and forever
 You must see your wish come true
 Don't be careful, don't be clever
 When you see your wish, pursue
 It's a dangerous endeavor
 But the only thing to do
 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 mustn't stop
 You mustn't swerve
 You mustn't ponder
 You have to act!
 When you know your wish
 If you want your wish
 You can have your wish
 But you can't just wish
 No, to get your wish
 You go into the woods
 Where nothing's clear
 Where witches, ghosts
 And wolves appear
 Into the woods
 And through the fear
 You have to take the journey
 Into the woods
 And down the dell
 In vain perhaps
 But who can tell?
 Into the woods to lift the spell
 Into the woods to lose the longing
 Into the woods to have the child
 To wed the Prince
 To get the money
 To save the house
 To kill the wolf
 To find the father
 To conquer the kingdom
 To have, to wed
 To get, to save
 To kill, to keep
 To go to the Festival!
 Into the woods
 Into the woods
 Into the woods
 Then out of the woods
 To be continued!
 And happy ever after!
