Giants In The Sky

(album: Into The Woods (2022 Broadway Cast Recording) - 2022)

There are giants in the sky!
There are big, tall, terrible giants in the sky!

When you're way up high
And you look below
At the world you've left
And the things you know
Little more than a glance
Is enough to show
You just how small you are

When you're way up high
And you're on your own
In a world like none
That you've ever known
Where the sky is lead
And the earth is stone

You're free to do
Whatever pleases you
Exploring things you'd never dare
'Cause you don't care
When suddenly there's

A big, tall, terrible giant at the door
A big, tall, terrible lady giant sweeping the floor
And she gives you food
And she gives you rest
And she draws you close
To her giant breast

And you know things now that you never knew before
Not 'til the sky
Only just when you've made
A friend and all
And you know she's big
But you don't feel small
Someone bigger than her
Comes along the hall
To swallow you for lunch

And your heart is lead
And your stomach stone
And you're really scared
Being all alone...

And it's then that you long
For the things you've known
And the world you've left
And the little you own

The fun is done
You steal what you can, and run!
And you scramble down
And you look below
And the world you know
Begins to grow:

The roof, the house, and your mother at the door
The roof, the house, and the world you'd never thought to explore
And you think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between
And you're back again
Only different than before
After the sky

There are giants in the sky!
There are big, tall, terrible, awesome, scary, wonderful giants in the sky!
