Frank Wildhorn - Jekyll And Hyde: The Original Broadway Production - Your Work- And Nothing More lyrics

Your rating:
UTTERSON:
You have your work
And nothing more!
You are possessed -
What is your demon?

You've never been
This way before -
Where is the fire
You built your dream on?

There's something strange,
There's something wrong.
I see a change -
It's like when hope dies.

I, who have known
You for so long,
I see the pain
In your eyes!

UTTERSON:                  JEKYLL:
There was a time           Have
You lived your life,       I
And no one lived           Become -
The way that you did!
You had a plan,            My work
You chose a wife,          And nothing
You saw the world          More?
As very few did!

You had it all -           I
The overall! -             Know
You seemed to know         That's
Just what to live for!     Not

But now, it seems,         What
You don't at all,          I'm
You have you work -        Living
Nothing more!...           For!...


EMMA:
Father, you know
Henry won't just walk away.
The only way he knows
Is straight ahead!

SIR DANVERS
Emma, you've not heard
A single word I've said!
My fear is, he's in over his head.
He could lose control,
And that I dread

There has been talk:
They say he's gone too far.
He's locked himself away
In his own world,
Pursuing the insanity -!

EMMA:
It is his work!

SIR DANVERS:
It's more than work -
He is obsessed!
The man is driven!

EMMA:
Just give him time,
I ask no more.
His work's a crime
To be forgiven!

SIR DANVERS:                   EMMA:
There's something strange.     Just give him time
Unless I'm blind!              I ask no more
I see a change
Of a bizarre kind!

EMMA:                          SIR DANVERS:
There's not at all!            He's chasing dreams
Don't be unkind.               He'll never find
The problem's all
In your mind!

SIR DANVERS:          UTTERSON:            JEKYLL:
He has his work       This increasing      Father...
And nothing more.     Isolation only adds
He is obsessed!       To your frustration
The man is driven!    And it could
Endanger
Your
Career

EMMA:                 JEKYLL:
Just give him time,   Who are they
I ask no more.        To judge what I
His work's a crime    Am doing they
To be forgiven!       Know nothing
Of the
Possibilities I see.

SIR DANVERS:          UTTERSON:          JEKYLL:
He's chasing          Time to awaken     And I will
Dreams                Before it's too    Prove, if I'm
He'll never find!     Late               Ever
I see a change                           Permitted to
Of a bizarre kind

EMMA:                 UTTERSON:            JEKYLL:
There's not at all!   Before you forever   Things are not
Don't be unkind.      Determine your fate  Wrong just
Problem's all                              Because they
In your mind!                              Are new!

EMMA:              SIR DANVERS/UTTERSON:   JEKYLL:     ENSEMBLE:
Still, I pray,     Dear, I pray,           I pray      If you live around
