[Original Broadway Cast of Tarzan, Shuler Hensley, Merle Dandridge - No Other Way lyrics]
My worst fear i hold it now
I always knew that this would happen
Though he's a child it's in his blood
And he will grow
So now it's clear what I must do
I know too well what he'll become
For as long as I draw breath i'll remember
Where's Tarzan? Where is he?
No turning back what's done is done
I have seen what they can do
He can't be saved by you, by me
It's too late
No, I won't let you do this
How can you think?
No more fighting I'll be obeyed
I'll stand my ground don't dare defy me
I know his kind i know the truth
I will protect us no other way
Open your eyes it's there to see
No other way he's not one of us
And never will be
Just listen to me
No more to say he is what he is
And that won't change there's no other way
I am leaving him here and here he'll stay
He's just a child
He was up in the trees making a weapon
And in time it is us he will hurt
No
Nothing and no one will stop him becoming
What he is and was by blood
No other way he won't come between me
And those I loved believe me when I say
With my body and soul this I vow
But I need him
No, no other way in spite of your pain
It will be done no matter what you say
He never was or could be be my son
There is no other way i won't let him near
The rest of the tribe again
I understand
Where are you going?
Kala to find him
We'll live away from the family
For how long?
For as long as he needs me
You can't i won't be able to protect you
Kala don't do this please
Kerchak I'm his mother
No other way i should have done this before
Long ago and from today
Though they'll think of me cruel
They won't know there was no other way
I always knew that this would happen
Though he's a child it's in his blood
And he will grow
So now it's clear what I must do
I know too well what he'll become
For as long as I draw breath i'll remember
Where's Tarzan? Where is he?
No turning back what's done is done
I have seen what they can do
He can't be saved by you, by me
It's too late
No, I won't let you do this
How can you think?
No more fighting I'll be obeyed
I'll stand my ground don't dare defy me
I know his kind i know the truth
I will protect us no other way
Open your eyes it's there to see
No other way he's not one of us
And never will be
Just listen to me
No more to say he is what he is
And that won't change there's no other way
I am leaving him here and here he'll stay
He's just a child
He was up in the trees making a weapon
And in time it is us he will hurt
No
Nothing and no one will stop him becoming
What he is and was by blood
No other way he won't come between me
And those I loved believe me when I say
