Jekyll And Hyde The Musical – His Work And Nothing More lyrics
UTTERSON
This is not the man I knew!
There's something deeply troubling you!
How long do you plan
To hide away here?
This increasing isolation
Only adds to your frustration
And it could endanger your career!
JEKYLL
John, I don't need you to turn on me as well!
More than ever now I need a friend!
Can't you see and don't you know I've been through hell?
Don't condemn what you don't comprehend!
UTTERSON
Henry, I'm not questioning your motives here!
But is what you're seeking worth the price?
You've turned your back on everything you once held dear
You're choosing to ignore your friend's advice!
You have your work
And nothing more!
You are possessed
What is your demon?
You've never been
This way before
You've lost the fire
You built your dream on!
There's something strange
There's something wrong
I see a change
It's like when love dies.
I who have known
You for so long
I see the pain in your eyes
There was a time
You lived your life
And no one lived
The way that you did!
You had a plan
You found a wife
You saw your world
As very few did!
You had it all!
The overall!
You seemed to know
Just what to live for!
But now it seems
You don't at all!
You have your work
Nothing more!
UTTERSON
You have your work
And nothing more!
You are possessed
What is your demon?
JEKYLL
Have
I
Be-
Come
You've never been
This way before
You've lost the fire
You built your dream on
My
Work and
Nothing
More?
There's something strange
There's something wrong
I see a change
It's like when love dies.
I
Know
That's
Not
I who have known you
For so long
I see the pain
In your eyes.
What
I'm
Living
For!
LISA
Father, you know Henry won't just walk away
The only way he knows is straight ahead!
SIR DANVERS
Lisa, you've not heard a single word I've said
My fear is he's in over his head!
He could lose control and that I dread!
There has been talk
They say he's gone too far!
He's locked himself away in his own world
Pursuing this insanity...
LISA
It is his work!
SIR DANVERS
It's more than work!
He is obsessed!
The man is driven!
LISA
Just give him time!
I ask no more!
His work's a crime to be forgiven!
SIR DANVERS
There's something strange
Unless I'm blind
I see a change
Of a bizarre kind!
LISA
There's not at all!
Don't be unkind!
The problem's all in your mind!
SIR DANVERS
He has his work
And nothing more!
He is obsessed
The man is driven!
UTTERSON
Have you
Be-
Come
JEKYLL
Lisa...
LISA
Just give him time
I ask no more!
His work's a crime
To be forgiven!
UTTERSON
Your
Work and
Nothing
More?
JEKYLL
Lisa...
SIR DANVERS
There's something strange
Unless I'm blind
I see a change
Of a bizarre kind!

Lisa...
LISA
There's not at all!
Don't be unkind
The problem's all
In your mind!
UTTERSON
What
You're
Living
For
JEKYLL
Lisa...
LISA
Still I pray
Every day
Henry may
Find his way
I pray he
May find
His way
SIR DANVERS
Dear, I pray
Every day
Henry may
Find his way
I pray he
May find
His way
UTTERSON
I

You
May
Find
Your
Way
JEKYLL
I
Pray
I
May
Find
My
Way

Every day

Find his way
I pray
He may find I will pray
Every day
You two may
Find your way
I pray
You may find I
Pray
You
May
Find I
Pray
I
May
Find
His way. Your way. Your way. My way.
