Witch: Everyone dies, Edward Bloom. But you death is glorious. Let me show you.
Edward: Why would I want to see how I die?
Witch: What's yuor concern? Are you scared of Hearing one thing new When you could learn Something secret that could Help you through
In one good turn I can show you Counterfeit from true life begins When you know how it ends
And your is no ordinary life.
You become important You're the bravest man around You're the kind with virtue Always finding common ground You climb each hill in front of you Without a suffering sound
Compassionate and warm The calm in any storm
Other Witches: So, take a chance
Witch: Let me show you How your days unfold
Other Witches: And in advance
Witch: You and me can play The hand you hold
Other Witches: Now join the dance
Witch: When you gamble Then you get the gold
Other Witches: Life begins when you know How it ends
Witch: Don't believe The fairy tales That say life is a breeze Every man must face a trial That brings him to his knees But let me share a magic truth A proof of all that thrives
The ones who face their fears lead The most interesting lives, lives!
Other Witches: Interesting lives Interesting lives!
Witch: So tell me what you want
Edward: I want a big life
Witch: And tell me what you see
Edward: I see a road
Witch: And tell me where it goes
Edward: In one direction
Witch: So, don't you want to see what's next What's waiting in the void You may be disappointed But you may be overjoyed...
Other Witches: Ooh ooh ooh...
Witch: So...
All Witches: Don't be sad Don't be scared Be alert Be prepared Take a breath Take it slow Let uncertainty go
