FREEDOM IS OUTSIDE
Music by Jim Steinman, original

Many thanks to Rebecca for her

Alfred:
Under this roof
Lives the loveliest person in the world.
Can it be chance
That we met here?
Sarah, are you awake?
Please come to the window!
I'm standing here in the moonlight
And wishing I was with you.
Sarah:
Not so loud!
Yes, I'm here.
Don't make a noise
Or my father will hear.
Alfred:
Can it really be?
Sarah:
It's quite late.
Alfred:
You and I alone!
Sarah:
I can't stand it any longer.
Alfred:
I'm happy.
Sarah:
No-one must know!
Alfred:
I wanted to see you!
Sarah:
I feel suffocated inside.
Outside is freedom,
There, where the horizon begins
There is a land
Where all miracles are possible.
Alfred:
No wall can separate us,
There's no barrier we can't overcome.
Come with me,
Because with you
I can go to the stars.
Outside is freedom
And hope that you don't have here.
Outside is freedom
Far away from anything that separates us.
Alfred and Sarah:
What they call life begins.
Sarah:
How romantic
To stand in the moonlight
Unfortunately I've already been invited.
You can
Come a little way with me,
But promise me
That you won't tell anyone.
Alfred:
Where do you want to go?
Sarah:
It's a secret of mine.
Alfred:
Not through the forest!
Sarah:
If you're afraid, stay here.
Alfred:
It's dark and cold
Sarah:
That doesn't matter to me.
Alfred:
You'll get lost and freeze to death in the snow!
Sarah:
I know where I'm going.
Alfred:
The wolves come out at night.
Sarah:
I'm bored to death at home.
Sarah and Alfred:
Outside is freedom
There, where the horizon begins,
There is a land
Where all miracles are possible.
Alfred:
No wall can separate us,
There's no barrier we can't overcome.
Stay with me,
Because with you…
Sarah and Alfred:
…I can go to the stars,
See into the future.
Sarah and Alfred:
Outside is freedom,
A happiness that knows no limits.
Outside is freedom,
Far away from anything that separates us,
What they call life begins.
