Alone In the Universe (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

I've been guarding this clover
For over a week
Getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak.
Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not to mind
For I have found something
That they'll never find!
There are secrets on a leaf

In the water, in the air
Hidden planets, tiny worlds
All invisible!
Not a person seems to know.
Not a person seems to care.
There is no one who believes a thing I say...
Well, I'm fairly certain

At one time or other
Great thinkers all feel this way!
I'm alone in the universe.

So alone in the universe.
I've found magic but they don't see it
They all call me a lunatic.

Ok, call me a lunatic.
If I stand on my own, so be it.
'Cause I have wings.

Yes, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon
I know there you'll be
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me...
I'm alone in the universe.

So alone in the universe.
My own planets and stars
Are glowing.
Alone in the universe
No one notices anything.
Not one person is listening.
They don't have any way of knowing.
Nobody knows that
I have wings
I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
I can fly
Around the moon
And far
Beyond the sky Beyond the sky
Well someday soon
You will hear my plea

One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Please believe in me ...

Hello... hello?
Hello?

Who's there?
It's me, Jojo. The Mayor's son.

I'm Horton. The Elephant
Are you real, or are you a very large think?

Oh, I'm real, all right. I would state that in ink.
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things

And I go to strange places, as if I had wings!
I love a good think!

Well, for me that goes double.
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble.

When you think, do you dream?
In bright colors!

Me too. And I go to strange places
Like Solla Sollew!

When you think, do you think
You could fly to the stars?
Little friend, no one else
Could have thinks such as ours!
Yes, I have wings.
I have wings
And I can fly
I can fly ...
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky Beyond the sky ...
You called my name
And you set me free-
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me.
Goodnight Jojo.
Goodnight Horton. See you in Solla Sollew!
