Out There

**Out there** is a song from Walt Disney's 1996 film *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*. It is sung by Quasimodo as he dreams about leaving his bell tower and being among the people.

## Lyrics

**Frollo:**

The world is cruel

The world is wicked

It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city

I am your only friend

I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you

I who look upon you without fear

How can I protect you, boy, unless you always

Stay in here,

Away in here?

*Remember what I've taught you, Quasimodo.*

You are deformed

**Quasimodo:** I am deformed

**Frollo:** And you are ugly

**Quasimodo:** And I am ugly

**Frollo:** And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity

You do not comprehend

**Quasimodo:** You are my one defender

**Frollo:** Out there, they'll revile you as a monster

**Quasimodo:** I am a monster

**Frollo:** Out there, they will hate and scorn and jeer

**Quasimodo:** Only a monster

**Frollo:** Why invite their calumny and consternation?

Stay in here

Be faithful to me

**Quasimodo:** I'm faithful

**Frollo:** Grateful to me

**Quasimodo:** I'm grateful

**Frollo:** Do as I say

Obey

**Both:** And/I'll stay in here

**Quasimodo:** Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone

Gazing at the people down below me

All my life, I watch them as I hide up here alone

Hungry for the histories they show me

All my life, I memorize their faces

Knowing them as they will never know me

All my life, I wonder how it feels to pass a day

Not above them

But part of them

And out there, living in the sun

Give me one day out there, all I ask is one

To hold forever

Out there, where they all live unaware

What I'd give

What I'd dare

Just to live one day out there

Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives

Through the roofs and gables I can see them

Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives

Heedless of the gift it is to be them

If I was in their skin

I'd treasure every instant

Out there, strolling by the Seine

Taste a morning out there, like ordinary men

Who freely walk about there

Just one day and then, I swear

I'll be content

With my share

Won't resent

Won't despair

Old and bent

I won't care

I'll have spent one day out there!
