[Witch]
What did I clearly say?
Children must listen

[Rapunzel]
No, no, please!

[Witch]
What were you not to do?
Children must see-

[Rapunzel]
No!

[Witch]
And learn

Why could you not obey?
Children should listen
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?

Ah, but I am old
I am ugly
I embarrass you

[Rapunzel]
No!

[Witch]
You are ashamed of me

[Rapunzel]
No!

[Witch]
You are ashamed
You don't understand

[Rapunzel]
It was lonely atop that tower

[Witch]
I was not company enough?

[Rapunzel]
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world

[Witch]
Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me

Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too
Stay at home
I am home

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me

Stay with me
The world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child
With me
