[ Featuring Melanie La Barrie, Hadestown Original West End Cast ]
[WORKERS Chorus]
Oooo
[ORPHEUS]
Always say the toss is fair
And the ones who deal the cards
[WORKERS]
Deal the cards
[ORPHEUS]
Are the ones who take the tricks
With their hands over their hearts
While we play the game they fix
And the ones who speak the words
[WORKERS]
Speak the words
[ORPHEUS]
Always say it is the last
And no answer will be heard
To the question no one asks
So I'm askin' if it's true
I'm askin' me and you
And you
And you
I believe our answer matters more than anything they say
[WORKERS]
We stand and listen
[ORPHEUS]
I believe if there is still a will
Then there is still a way
[WORKERS]
We're standing with him
[ORPHEUS]
I believe there is a way
I believe in us together
More than anyone alone
[WORKERS]
We're standing near him
[ORPHEUS]
I believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know
[WORKERS]
We hear him
[ORPHEUS]
I believe we're stronger than they know
I believe that we are many
I believe that they are few
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
And it isn't for the few
To tell the many what is true
[WORKERS]
We understand him
[ORPHEUS]
So I ask you:
If it's true what they say
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
I'll be on my way
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
Tell me what to do
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
Is it true?
Is it true what they say?
