Little Erik's songs3 (The roof of the opera house)
Erik:
Why do they hate me?
Mum:
Do not fret
Erik:
I've done nothing wrong
Mum:
They hate what they don't understand
Erik:
They hate me because of my face
Mum:
Yes but don't worry
Erik:
Mother, why would they hurt me?
Mum:
Hate brings violence
Erik:
NO!
Mum:
And if they have to kill to appease their minds
Erik:
They will kill me!
Mum:
And kill again
Both:
And though we mean no harm
They come still
The people that are outside will kill
And kill again.
