Witch:
Everyone dies, Edward Bloom. But your
death is glorious. Let me show you.
Edward:
Why would I want to see how I die?
Witch:
What's your concern?
Are you scared of
Hearing one thing new
When you could learn
Something secret that could
Help you through
In one good turn
I can show you
Counterfeit from true life begins
When you know how it ends
And yours is no ordinary life.
You become important
You're the bravest man around
You're the kind with virtue
Always finding common ground
You climb each hill in front of you
Without a suffering sound
Compassionate and warm
The calm in any storm
Other Witches:
So, take a chance
Witch:
Let me show you
How your days unfold
Other Witches:
And in advance
Witch:
You and me can play
The hand you hold
Other Witches:
Now join the dance
Witch:
When you gamble
Then you get the gold
Other Witches:
Life begins when you know
How it ends
Witch:
Don't believe
The fairy tales
That say life is a breeze
Every man must face a trial
That brings him to his knees
But let me share a magic truth
A proof of all that thrives
The ones who face their fears lead
The most interesting lives, lives!
Other Witches:
Interesting lives
Interesting lives!
Witch:
So tell me what you want
Edward:
I want a big life
Witch:
And tell me what you see
Edward:
I see a road
Witch:
And tell me where it goes
Edward:
In one direction
Witch:
So, don't you want to see what's next
What's waiting in the void
You may be disappointed
But you may be overjoyed...
Other Witches:
Ooh ooh ooh...
Witch:
So...
All Witches:
Don't be sad
Don't be scared
Be alert
Be prepared
Take a breath
Take it slow
Let uncertainty go
When you know
How it ends you begin
All Witches:
When you try
Witch:
You can fly
All Witches:
Fly!
