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
