The Witch (feat. Big Fish Original Broadway Cast)

Everyone dies, Edward Bloom
But your death is glorious
Let me show you
Why would I want to see how I die?

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 (so, take a chance)
Let me show you how your days unfold (and in advance)
You and me can play the hand you hold (now join the dance)
When you gamble then you get the gold (life begins when you know how it ends)

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 (interesting lives), lives!

So tell me what you want
I want a big life
And tell me what you see
I see a road
And tell me where it goes
In one direction

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

So
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

When you try
You can fly
Fly!
