Raven862 asked about this song from Hunchback of Notre Dame, so enjoy your request! I thought before they escaped in the story My Sister and Me, theblindwriter95's characters Nell, Madeline and Sabrina could be in the dungeon and sing this with Jimmy before they make their escape. Thanks to Niagara14301 for helping with some of the lyrics. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is not mine.
Jimmy: The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole kingdom
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 all unless you
Always stay in here
Away in here
Remember what I taught you, ladies
You are alone
Sabrina: We are alone
Jimmy: And you are orphans
Madeline: And we are orphans
Jimmy: And these are crimes
For which the world
Shows little pity
You do not comprehend
Nell: You are our one defender
Jimmy: Out there they'll revile you
As a misfit
Sabrina: I am a misfit
Jimmy: Out there they will hate
And scorn and jeer
Nell: We are all misfits
Jimmy: Why invite their calumny
And consternation?
Stay in here
Be faithful to me
Sabrina: We're faithful
Jimmy: Grateful to me
Madeline: We're grateful
Jimmy: Do as I say
Obey
And stay
In here
Nell, Madeline and Sabrina: We'll stay
In here
Nell: Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below us
All our lives we watch them as we hide in here alone
Hungry for the histories they show us
Sabrina: All our lives we memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know us
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
Madeline: But part of them
Nell: And out there
Living in the sun
Give us one day out there
All we ask is one
To hold forever
Out there
Sabrina: Where they all live unaware
What we'd give
What we'd dare
Just to live one day out there
Madeline: Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables we can see them
Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
Nell: If we were in their skin
We'd treasure ev'ry instant
Out there
Sabrina: Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Madeline: Just one day and then
I swear we'll be content
With our share
Nell: Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I won't care
Nell, Madeline and Sabrina: We'll have spent
One day
Out there
