And it came to pass, all that seemed wrong   Was now right 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 they're nerve   Not a lot   And we reached the right conclusions   And we got what they, we deserved      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 unhappy now, unhappy hence   As well as ever after   Had we used our common sense      Been worthy of our discontents   We'd be happy      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 your 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   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      And happy ever after
