Giants in the Sky (From Into the Woods)

Stephen Sondheim

[JACK]
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's like lead and the earth's like stone

You're free to do whatever pleases you
Exploring things you'd never dared
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's stone
And you're really scared being all alone
And it's then that you miss all 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 never thought to explore
And you think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between
But 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!
