Lyrics

[William, spoken]:
But, Victor says that every question must be answered. And I agree!
Tell me why?does?the breeze blow?
Why?do both the flower and the?weed grow?
Then tell me why do men fight wars?
Why does God even care?
Why does he listen to our prayers?
Doesn't he already know what we're praying for?

[Justine]:
Curious little boy, no wonder you're your father's joy
Now, not an educated girl am I
But I know the hardest questions begin with "why"

[William, spoken]:
Alright then
Tell me how do the birds go
And just how do they get along with bees so?

[Justine]:
How do you know when you're in love?

[William]:
Ugh!
How do you know just who to trust?
[Justine, spoken]:
Whom!

[William]:
How did the justice get so just?

[Both]:
How do we deserve all the things we're dreaming of?

[William]:
Do I really look like my mother?

[Justine]:
You're as inquisitive as your brother

[William]:
Do you like being my nanny?

[Justine]:
It's a far more challenging job than many

[William]:
Why, Justine, do you tease me?

[Justine]:
I don't know, it seems to please me
William, can't you see through me by now?
Can't you tell, haven't you known?
I think of you as if my own
You've no greater champion than I
Just remember that I love you
And never question how, or if, or why
[Judge, spoken]:
Tell the court what happened next, Miss Moritz

[Creature, spoken]:
Another child of the Frankenstein's

[Justine, spoken]:
We were playing a game. He ran off into the woods; I searched for him all night!

[Victor]:
Leave him be
He has not wronged you

[Creature]:
William, will you play with me?

[William]:
Who are you, sir?
Do you know me?

[Creature]:
I know too well
Your wretched family

[Man, spoken]:
Then how do you explain, woman, the bloody locket found on your person?
[Justine, spoken]:
I told you, I saw some kind of demon! IT is responsible, not I!

[Victor]:
Why did you do it?
Kill a child?

[Creature]:
Why did you leave me there to die?

[Victor]:
So full of promise
Full of wonder

[Creature]:
Have you forgotten that so was I?

[Justine, spoken]:
I am innocent! I swear it!

[Elizabeth]:
Victor no, I know that she loved that boy

[Creature]:
Another fair face who looked upon me only with revulsion

[Elizabeth]:
Heaven please, Justine's like a sister to us

[Creature]:
Were she only like me, one of my kind

[Father]:
Victor, my God, how can this be so?

[Elizabeth]:
Victor, how? I know this can not be true

[Man]:
Somewhere there must be a witness!

[Elizabeth]:
There must be something you can say!

[Men]:
Someone knows the truth

[Elizabeth]:
Something you can do!

[Men]:
Who speaks for the child?

[Creature, spoken]:
I made sure the evidence would convict her of the boy's murder. Don't you think that clever of me, Victor?

[Justine]:
Why is this happening?

[Chorus]:
Why did you murder that boy?

[Father]:
My poor William!

[Chorus]:
Why should we hear any more?

[Henry]:
Why will no man speak the truth?

[Chorus]:
Why are you silent
While innocents suffer and pay with their lives?

[Victor]:
NO!
