"Climb" lyrics

Idina Menzel, Khaila Wilcoxon, Michael Park & Original Broadway Cast of Redwood Lyrics

"Climb"
(from "Redwood (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[JESSE:]
How did you get all those ropes in that tree?

[FINN:]
Bow and arrow

[JESSE:]
What's that clip? Would you let me see?

[BECCA:]
No

[JESSE:]
Are you climbing this tree

[JESSE, FINN:]
To the top

[JESSE:]
All the way?

[FINN:]
Yep!

[JESSE:]
Wow! And all in one

[JESSE, BECCA:]
Day

[BECCA:]
He has to concentrate, shh...

[JESSE:]
Why is he bouncing and how'd he just slide?

[BECCA:]
Ascenders

[JESSE:]
And those ropes that are broken -
Has anyone died?

[BECCA:]
For real?!

[JESSE:]
Can he really put all of his weight on one bough?

[BECCA:]
Guess

[JESSE:]
Do you wish that I'd

[JESSE, BECCA:]
Stop asking questions right now?

[BECCA:]
Yes

[JESSE:]
Thought I'd run out of road
Is it possible there's a farther place to go?
I've gotta get up there, to that open air
Leave the world below
Could I hide in the sky
And unwind for a while?
And if time could stand still
What a ride, what a thrill
Would that be such a crime?
I wonder if they'd let me climb
Hey, Becca, would you and Finn ever consider letting me climb?

[BECCA:]
Can you hold on the chatter for now, please?

[JESSE:]
Of course!

[BECCA:]
Thanks

[JESSE:]
Hey, I'm in great shape -
I run a mile every day
And this prob'ly doesn't matter, but I used to do ballet
I can hold a tree pose, I can do the downward dog
'Cause I did yoga once at my old synagogue
And I don't have a fear of heights, I work out all the time
So what I'm really trying to say is
Would you ever let me climb?

[JESSE (BECCA):]
Thought I'd run out of road
But it's possible (It's not possible)
There's a farther place to go (She has got to go)
I've gotta get up there
To that open air (You need some air)
Leave the world below
Could I hide (Denied)
In the sky, (Step aside)
And unwind (Just, shh)

[JESSE, BECCA:]
For a while?

[JESSE (BECCA):]
And if time (Can you try)
Could stand still (To just chill?)
What a ride, what a thrill (Guess that she never will...)
Would that be such a crime?
Could I leave it all behind? (She 'boutta cross the line...)
Well, what if you like- (We don't have the time)
Would they ever (No, we never let her)

[JESSE, BECCA:]
Climb?
