Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Wait for Me ("If you wanna walk out of hell...") [Intro] [Reprise]
What is it?
Well, the good news is, he said that you can go
He did? (He did?)
He did
There's bad news though
What is it?
You can walk, but it won't be like you planned
What do you mean?
Why not?
Well, you won't be hand in hand
You won't be arm in arm, side by side, and all of that
He said you have to walk in front, and she has to walk in back
Why?
And if you turn around to make sure she's coming too
Then she goes back to Hadestown and ain't nothing you can do
But why?
Why build walls, make folks walk single file?
Divide and conquer's what it's called
It's a trap
It's a trial
Do you trust each other?
Do you trust yourselves?
We do
Well, listen, brother
If you wanna walk out of hell
You're gonna have to prove it before gods and men
Can you do that?
We can
A'ight, time to go!
Mr. Hermes?
Yes?
It's not a trick?
No, it's a test
Well, the good news is, he said that you can go
He did? (He did?)
He did
There's bad news though
What is it?
You can walk, but it won't be like you planned
What do you mean?
Why not?
Well, you won't be hand in hand
You won't be arm in arm, side by side, and all of that
He said you have to walk in front, and she has to walk in back
Why?
And if you turn around to make sure she's coming too
Then she goes back to Hadestown and ain't nothing you can do
But why?
Why build walls, make folks walk single file?
Divide and conquer's what it's called
It's a trap
It's a trial
Do you trust each other?
Do you trust yourselves?
We do
Well, listen, brother
If you wanna walk out of hell
You're gonna have to prove it before gods and men
Can you do that?
We can
A'ight, time to go!
Mr. Hermes?
Yes?
It's not a trick?
No, it's a test
