How Lonely (Merida's Song)

HOW LONELY (MERIDA'S SONG)Performed by Julie Fowlis (Merida)
Merida and her brothers Taran and Chuckie ran as fast as they could to catch up with their family. Her boyfriend Wreck-It-Ralph and his best friend Blossom followed them while Bill the Lizard, John Robertson, Max Henshaw, Old Blind Joe McDowell, Fidget the Bat, and Peewee Pete watched in shock.
"Wait! Wait!" cried Merida, "Please don't leave; we are coming! Don't leave us again!"
King Fergus, Queen Elinor, June, Quincy, Dodger, drove back home in their mobile home. "Father," said Melody. "she's probably miles away by now."
Olivia, Bambi, and Thumper stopped running and looked sad to see her father, her sister, her friends, and their adoptive family leave Neverland. Fievel and Gadget stopped to comfort the children. "We're too late!" Bambi sighed sadly. "They don't love us!" added Thumper. "Don't be sad," said Gadget said in a soothing voice. "We'll visit them another time." But Olivia started to cry.
Olivia remembered telling her old adoptive father Naveen that the Fievel Mousekewitz stories she tells Bambi and Thumper weren't silly when he said they were. She remembered telling Ariel that she didn't want to grow up during bedtime and telling her that she had saved Fievel's shadow for him.
So lonelyMissing you each dayI pray if onlyFor a moment I could seeYour smiling faceYou take awayThis emptiness inside of meBut I'll be strongUntil we meet
Olivia, Bambi, and Thumper sadly stared at their reflections in the water. Olivia sniffled and rubbed her eye as a tear slid down her cheek and fell into the water, showing images of Ariel, Eric, Mickey, and Melody. Their images rippled to go back to the children's sad expressions.
I miss youLong to hear you laugh againTo kiss youLet you know that life beginsWhen I'm by your sideHolding you tightYou gave me strength to brave it allFaith and hopeWhen darkness starts to fall
Suddenly, a heavy wind began to blow. Olivia, Bambi, and Thumper shivered in fear and sadness. Then an enormous flash of lightning, followed by a loud clap of thunder, scared the children, causing them to cry.
When the wind blows cold and threateningNobody's there to comfort meSomeone somewhere hear my pleaUntil thenPlease let me know
Olivia got back to her memories with her family. She remembered coming home from Neverland and hugging Ariel. She remembered telling Naveen that the Lost Dumbo Gang went back to Neverland with Fievel and Gadget because they were not yet ready to grow up yet. And she remembered watching the ship fly in the sky with Naveen, Ariel, Pooka, and Flower.
How long tillI hear your heart singingThat sweet song whenI'll be thereTo sing along in harmonyJust you and meThe music stops when you're not hereBut my heart singsUntil you're near to me
During the instrumental section, Olivia remembered sleeping in bed with Bambi and Thumper while Ariel read them a bedtime story. She remembered the next night when Naveen read them a bedtime story.
Oh, can you even hear my criesThat call your nameBeneath the stars tonight
Suddenly, a flash of lightning, followed by a clap of thunder, frightened Olivia and her brothers again. But Olivia, Bambi, and Thumper were too scared to run away and hide. So they sat down beside a tree and fell asleep there.
When the wind blows cold and threateningNobody's there to comfort meSomehow, someone hear my pleaUntil thenI hope you know
Olivia remembered having dinner and dessert with her family in the dining room. She remembered when she and her brothers moved to Neverland with Fievel, Gadget, and the Lost Dumbo Gang, they got their picture taken.
I need youTo chase away the cloudsSo I can see youRun through fields of flowersLike we used to doJust we twoHold onto the memoriesUntil that dayI'm holding you again
Then snow began to fall outside of Hangman's Tree one cold November morning.
Good night, my friendGood night
When the song ended, Olivia started to cry again. "I'll never see them," she sobbed. Tears rolled down her cheeks. "What'll I do now?" "Everything will be OK, Olivia." Fievel said, patting her back. Meanwhile, she heard some voices coming from another place. It was Jim Crow. He was whispering to his friends about playing Fievel Mousekewitz and Captain Cat R. Waul.
"OK, Timothy, here's the plan." he said, whispering in Timothy's ear. "We're gonna do a play." Next, he whispered into Tyrone's ear. "You'll be Fievel." Then he whispered into Reverend Zachariah's ear. "You'll be Cat R. Waul." The Dumbo Gang jumped up in excitement and ran to their places.
Peewee Pete walked over to Merida, Taran, and Chuckie, who were still crying. "I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to visit them," he said, circulating around them. His voice choked up a little, and his eyes filled with tears. "But please don't cry; you'll make me cry, too!"
