Song:Mama Who Bore Me
Artist:Lea Michele and Girls
Wendla&Girls:Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
Mama the angels
Who made me so sad
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem
Some pray that, one day, Christ will come a-callin
They light a candle, and hope that it glows
And some just lie there, crying for him to come and find them
But when he comes, they don t know how to go
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me (Mama the angels, Mama)
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem

At school,Moritz...sleepily misquotes a line.........
Teacher:Moritz,I do not stand this kind of behavior in my class!!
Melchior:He's done nothing that that harsh to be shouted and humiliated like this!
The teacher was fuirous and throws a stick at Melchior..................and Melchior reflects on this,and wished that things would change.............
----
Song:All That's Known
Artist:Jonathan Groff
Melchior:All that's known
In History, in Science
Overthrown
At school, at home, by blind men
You doubt them,
And soon they bark and hound you
Till everything you say is just another bad about you
All they say
Is 'Trust in what is written'
Wars are made
And somehow that is wisdom
Thought is suspect
And money is their idol
And nothing is okay unless it's scripted in their Bible
But I know
There's so much more to find
Just in looking through myself, and not at them
Still, I know
To trust my own true mind
And to say there's a way through this
On I go
To wonder and to learning
Name the stars and know their dark returning
I'm calling
To know the world's true yearning
The hunger that a child feels for everything they're shown
You watch me
Just watch me
I'm calling
And one day all will know
You watch me
Just watch me
I'm calling
I'm calling
And one day all will know
----
Moritz:Melchoir.....I've been having this dream that's keeping me up all night.............
Melchoir:What kind of dreams,my friend?
And Moritz told him...............everything.........
Melchoir:Well,your having dreams of an erotic nature,but this is natural....all boys our age gets this dreams.....
Moritz:I'm not comfortable talking about this.....can you write all the information through an essay?
Melchoir:yea....sure.

Song:The Bitch of Living
Artist:John Gallagher Jr. and Boys
Moritz:God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out, like, in Latin 'This is so not life at all
Help me out, out of this nightmare.'
Then I heard her silver call
She said, 'Just give it time, kid. I come to one and all.'
She said, 'Give me that hand, please, and the itch you can't control.
Let me teach you how to handle all the sadness in your soul.
Oh, we'll work that silver magic,
Then we'll aim it all the wall.'
She said, 'Love may make you blind, kid, but I wouldn't mind at all.'
All:It's the bitch of living
Otto:The bitch, just the bitch
All:With nothing but your hand
Otto:Just the bitch, yeah
All:Just the bitch of living
As someone you can't stand
Georg:See, each night it's, like, fantastic
Tossing, turning without rest
'Cause my days at the piano
With my teacher and her breasts
And the music's, like, the one thing
I can't even get at all
And those breasts!
I mean, God, please, just let those apples fall
All:It's the bitch of living
Otto:The bitch!
All:With nothing going on, nothing going on
Just the bitch of living
Asking: What went wrong?
Do they think we want this?
Oh, who knows!
Ernst:See, there's showering in gym class
Hanschen:Bobby Maler, he's the best
Look so nasty in those khakis
Ernst:God, my whole life's like some test
Otto:Then there's Marianna Wheelan
As if she'd return my call
Hanschen:It's like, just kiss some ass, man
Then you can screw 'em all
Melchior:It's the bitch of living
And living in your head
It's the bitch of living
And sensing God is dead
All:It's the bitch of living
And trying to get ahead
It's the bitch of living
Just getting out of bed
It's the bitch of living
And getting what you get
It's the bitch of living
Melchior:And knowing this is it
All:God, is this it?
This can't be it
Oh God, what a bitch!

Martha:It's almost like lovin'. Sad as that is.
Thea:May not be cool, but it's so where I live.
Anna:It's like I'm your lover or more like your ghost.
I spend the day wondering what you do, where you go.
Thea:I try and just kick it but what can I do.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
All Girls:See us, winter walking after a storm.
It's chill in the wind but it's warm in your arms.
The stop all snow line, may not be true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
Georg:Well, you'll have to excuse me, I know it's so off.
I love when you do stuff that's rude and so wrong.
Hanschen:I go up to my room, turn the stereo on'
Shoot up some you, and the you is some song.
Thea:I lie back just driftin' and play out these scenes
I ride on the rush of all the hopes and the dreams.
Anna:I May be neglecting the things I should do.
But we've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
All:See we still keep talkin' after you're gone.
You still with me then feels so good in my arms.
They say you go blind, maybe it's true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
It's like we stop time. What can I do?
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
My junk is you.
My junk is you.
You. You. You.

Song:Touch Me
Artist:Spring Awakening Cast
Melchior:Where I go, when I go there
No more memory anymore
Only men on distant ships
The women with them, swimming with them, to shore
Moritz:Where I go, when I go there
No more whispering anymore
Only hymns upon your lips
A mystic wisdom, rising with them, to shore
Ernst:Touch me ' just like that
And that ' o, yeah ' now, that's heaven
Now, that I like
God, that's so nice
Now lower down, where the figs lie
Moritz:Still, you must admit
With the two anatomies
It truly is daunting
I mean, how do I know if I'
Melchior:Measure up?
Moritz:Not that I'm saying I wouldn t
I wouldn't want to not
Wouldn't ever not want to'
Melchior:Moritz!
Moritz:I have to go!
Melchior:Moritz! Wait!
Otto:Where I go, when I go there
No more shadows anymore
Only men with golden fins
The rhythm in them, rocking with them, to shore
Georg:Where I go, when I go there
No more weeping anymore
Only in and out your lips
The broken wishes, washing with them, to shore
All:Touch me ' all silent
Tell me ' please ' all is forgiven
Consume my wine
Consume my mind
I'll tell you how, how the winds sigh
Touch me ' just try it
Now, there ' that's it ' God, that's heaven
I'll love your light
I'll love you right
We'll wander down where the sins cry
Touch me ' just like that
Now lower down, where the sins lie
Love me ' just for a bit
We'll wander down, where's the winds sigh
Where the winds sigh
Where the winds sigh

Song:The Dark I Know Well
Artist:Lilli Cooper and Lauren Pritchard
Martha:There is a part I can t tell
About the dark I know well
You say, 'Time for bed now child,'
Mom just smiles that smile
Just like she never saw me
Just like she never saw me
So I leave, wanting just to hide
Knowing deep inside
You are coming to me
You are coming to me
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
'Child, the Lord won't mind.
It's just you and me.
Child, you're a beauty.
'God, it's good ' the lovin' ' ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet ' gonna teach you right.
It's just you and me
Child you're a beauty.'
Ilse:I don't scream, though I know it's wrong
I just play along
I lie there and breathe
Lie there and breathe
I wanna be strong
I want the world to find out
That you're dreamin' on me
Me and my 'beauty'
Me and my 'beauty'
Martha&Isle:You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
'Child, the Lord won't mind.
It's just you and me.
Child, you're a beauty.
'God, it's good ' the lovin' ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet ' gonna teach you right.
It's just you and me
Child you're a beauty.'
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well

Wendla:Melchior....I just found out that my friend Martha's been regularly abused by her father.
Melchior:...really?
Wendla:Yes,and I want you to hit me with a switch,so that I can feel the pain she feels.
Melchior:....I-I couldn't do that..
Wendla:Please............
And Melchior agrees.....but he gets carried away and throws her to the ground,he then runs-off,disgusted of himself....Wendla finds that he has left his journal,she picks it up and takes it with her..............

Herr Stiefel:Moritz!,you'll never progress in school if you keep on failing!!
Moritz writes to Melchior's mother.....asking her for money to flee to America,but she promises to write his parents to stop being too harsh to him.....................
----
Song:And Then There Were None
Artist:Christine Estabrook,John Gallagher Jr. and Boys
Mrs. Gabor:Dear Herr Stief - Moritz,
I've spent the entire day thinking about your note
Truly it touched me ' it did ' that you would think of me as a friend
Of course, I was saddened to hear that you exams went off less well than you'd hoped
And that you will not be promoted, come fall
And, yet, I must say straightaway that fleeing to America is hardly the solution
And, even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request'
Moritz:Uh huh'uh huh'uh huh'well, fine
Not like it's even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Sorry, it won't change ' been there before
Mrs. Gabor:You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel to read into my refusal any lack of affection
On the contrary, as Melchior's mother, I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss'
Moritz:The things that sucks ' okay? ' for me
A thousand bucks, I'm, like, scott free
And I mean, please'That's all I need
Get real, Jose!
By now you know the score'
Mrs. Gabor:Should you like, I am ready to write your parents
I will try to convince them that no one could've worked harder last semester
And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune
Could have the gravest possible effect on'
Moritz:You wanna laugh, it's too absurd
You start to ask, can't hear a word
You're gonna crash and burn
Right, tell me more'
Mrs. Gabor:Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me
Your ' what shall we call it? ' veiled threat that should escape not be possible
You would take your own life'
Moritz:Okay, so now we do the play
Act like we so care. No way!
You'll write my folks? Well, okay
Babe, that's how it goes'
Mrs. Gabor:My dear boy, the world is filled with men '
Businessmen, scientists, scholars even who have done rather poorly in school
And, yet, have gone on to brilliant careers
Consider our friend'
Moritz:They'll freak, or won't
You toe the line
You tell your soul, 'Just kill some time.'
Will it quit? It will until they don't'
They're not my home, not anymore
Not like they so were before
Still, I'll split, and they'll like'
Well, who knows?
Mrs. Gabor:I any case, I assure you that your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you
Or, on your relationship with Melchior'
Moritz&Boys:Uh huh uh huh'uh huh'well, fine
Not like it's even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Okay, so nothing's changed ' heard that before
You wanna laugh, it's too absurd
You start to ask, can't hear a word
You want to crash a burn
Right, tell me more
You start to cave, you start to cry
You try to run, nowhere to hide
You want to crumble up, and close that door
Mrs. Gabor:So, head high, Herr Stiefel!
And do let me hear from you soon
In the meantime, I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours,
Fanny Gabor
Moritz:Just f*** it ' right? Enough, that's it
You'll still go on ' well, for a bit
Another day of utter shit
And then there were none'
Moritz&Boys:
And, then there were none'
And, then there were none'
And, then there were none'

Melchior cries out his frustration of being caught between,childhood and adulthood...........

Song:The Miror-Blue Night
Artist:Jonathan Groff and Boys
Boys:Flip on a switch, and everything's fine '
No more lips, no more tongue, no more ears, no more eyes
The naked blue angel, who peers through the blinds
Disappears in the gloom of the mirror-blue night
Melchior:But there's nowhere to hide from these bones, from my mind
It's broken inside ' I'm a man and a child
I'm at home with a ghost, who got left in the cold
Who knocks at my peace, with no keys to my soul
Boys:And the whispers of fear, the chill up the spine
Will steal away too, with a flick of the light
The minute you do it, with fingers so blind
You remove every bit of the blue from your mind
Melchior:But there's nowhere to hide from the ghost in my mind
It's cold in these bones ' of a man and a child
And there's no one who knows, and there's nowhere to go
There's no one to see who can see to my soul
----
Wendla:hi....again,I just wanted to return your journal.
Melchior:thanks.....and I apologize about the last time they met.
Wendla:......I-I....apologize too,I'm sorry.
Befor long,they begin to kiss....but Wendla resists him.......
Wendla:No...stop.
But.....they begin to get intimate....as the lights go down,and we see.....Rachel and John seemingly jelous of them.............................
