Made of Stone
Alan Menken
[CONGREGATION, spoken]
Quasimodo you must try to free yourself!
The girl needs your help!

[QUASIMODO, spoken]
Quiet! Go away

[CONGREGATION, spoken]
You're the only one who can save her now

[QUASIMODO, spoken]
You know what happens when I try to help. I only make things worse

[CONGREGATION, spoken]
You don't believe that!

[QUASIMODO]
How do you know what I believe
What do you know of me
What do you know of all the things I feel
You're only made of stone
Who is it that you see
Instead of seeing what I am for real
This twisted flesh and bone

[CONGREGATION]
Quasimodo, it wasn't your fault!

[QUASIMODO]
You're a liar!
With ev'ry new excuse you try out
You only make me want to cry out
"Would that I were made of stone like you"

[CONGREGATION, spoken]
You don't mean that! Just take some time to—

[QUASIMODO]
You give such good advice
So why has not one single word you've said
Been any help at all

[CONGREGATION, spoken]
Quasimodo...

[QUASIMODO]
And you who sound so nice
The more your dreams and fancies fill my head
The farther that I fall
Shut my brain down
If I were senseless, I'd prefer it
Another gargoyle on this turret
Spitting rain down to the stones below

I've wasted my faith believing in saints of plaster
But the only one worth believing in was my master

He's the one who never lied
He told me it was cruel outside
He told me how I had to hide
His words were cold as stone
But they were true
Not like you

Take all the dreams you've sown
Take all your lies
And leave me alone

[CONGREGATION]
All right, Quasimodo
We'll leave you alone
All right, Quasimodo
We'll trouble you no longer
You're right, Quasimodo
We're only made of stone
We just thought that you were
Made of something
Stronger
[QUASIMODO]
And now I'm on my own
Never again to wonder what's out there
Let it remain unknown
And my one human eye
Will ever more be dry
Until the day I die
As if I were made of stone
Write the lyrics for a pop song made in 2016, titled "Made of Stone", by artist "Alan Menken".
