Alone In the Universe (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

I've been guarding this clover for over a week
Getting laughed at
For thinking that dust speck can speak
Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not mind, for I have found something 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
Okay, 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
(And I can fly)
I can fly
(Around the moon and) far 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
Oh, I'm Horton the elephant
Are you real? or you a very large think?
Oh, I'm real alright, I would state that an 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 all get me in trouble
Well, 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 can fly to the stars?
Oh, 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
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
